The Prisoner |
He’s taking her away |
He’s acting like a general |
Generally his game is so familiar |
He wants her to play |
With a toaster and a kettle |
While he spends his day |
Miles from the prisoner |
She reads the stars he reads the sun |
No wonder his IQ is below 21 |
He’s helping her to see |
How happy she is looking |
Take it that he’ll be |
No icing on her cake |
O how happy she would be |
If someone did the cooking |
He’s helping her to see |
How a marriage can be baked |
Baked like a cake but without the file |
The tool that she needs to make her life worthwhile |
She’s not a prisoner alone doing time |
To love and to cherish for all of her life |
To have and to hold, to lock up inside |
What can this man know about her heart |
To love, ‘til death do us part |
He’s looking everywhere |
She is nowhere to be found |
And suddenly he cares |
His dinner’s looking burnt |
There’s a smell in the air |
There’s a prisoner in town |
He sits down in his chair |
His face fills with concern |
Concerned that he might not eat tonight |
She’s broken out of jail and run for her life |
