Warren Zevon Lyrics

Album: Life'll Kill Ya

Hostage-O Lyrics

Warren Zevon, Zevon Music BMI

I can see me bound and gagged 

Dragged behind the clownmobile 

You can treat me like a dog 

If you make me feel what others feel 

You can train me, you can drain me 

If you make me lose control 

I will be your prisoner 

I will be your hostage-o 

I will be your prisoner 

I will be your hostage-o 

All you have to do is ask 

I'll be happy to say yes 

I'll put on the creepy mask 

If you'll grant me some forgetfulness 

You can strain me, you can maim me 

You can chain me to the floor 

I will be your prisoner 

I will be your hostage-o 

I will be your prisoner 

I will be your hostage-o 

And this loneliness-- 

Unbearable 

And it all goes by so slow 

I will stand in line 

For the sacrifice 

For the shamefaced love 

Of the ugly vice 

I will pay the price to see how far you'll go 

Let me be your prisoner 

Let me be your hostage-o 

I can see me bound and gagged 

Dragged behind the clownmobile 

You can treat me like a dog 

If you make me feel what others feel 

You can sprain me, you can blame me 

If you make me lose control 

I will be your prisoner 

I will be your hostage-o 

I will be your prisoner 

I will be your hostage-o
