Prisoner Of Love Lyrics - Tin Machine - Tin Machine

Don't look back 

Whatever it takes to save your life 

I've believed I belonged to you for a long time 

And my heart says no, no one but you 

Like a rescue on a darkened street 

Love walked into town 

I was a victim of my own self-persecution 

I'm a prisoner of love-but I'm coming up for air 

[CHORUS] 

Now don't be fooled by fools who promise you 

The world and all that glitters more fool you 

I'm such a hungry man that I beg you over and over and over and over 

And I might take any highway to be there with you 

Even the best men shiver in their beds 

I'm loving you above everything I have 

I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square 

Like a sermon on a blues guitar 

Love walked into town 

I was drowning so slowly 

One step in front of your shadow 

I'm a prisoner of love but I'm coming up for air 

[CHORUS] 

I smell the sickness sown in this city 

It drives me to hide you, yea, even deceive you 

I'm so afraid for you that 

I'll break any thug that maps out your passage to ruin 

Even the best men shiver in their beds 

I'm loving you above everything I have 

I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square
