He went to a bar for a drink
he was tired but needed to think
about life about you
about love who is who
about going to see a shrink

He didn‘t want to be alone
since he lost you he found no more home
where it‘s give and take
live and no heartache
how is he gonna do it on his own

He‘s a prisoner of life
not finding something to hold on to
he‘s a prisoner of love
not knowing where to run to
where to go

He watched the people sitting there
coming from anywhe re going nowhere
like me and maybe you
like many others do
dreaming of something better out there

He‘s a prisoner of life
not finding something to hold on to
he‘s a prisoner of love
not knowing where to run to
where to go

The faces get older
the skirts so much shorter
the make up gets thicker
the drinks so much bigger

He‘s a prisoner of life
not finding something to hold on to
he‘s a prisoner of love
not knowing where to run to
where to go
