Lyrics Howard Jones

Howard Jones

The Prisoner

You have watched me, safe in your anonymity

I have dreamed you, held in your security

Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul

Your eyes were the camera and you've take hold

And you captured me

I need you to take control

I am a prisoner of no confidence

You've entered me now make me whole

Every place I go I feel your lenses trained on me

This distant concentration takes away my energy

Your image burns it's negative

Behind my waking eyes

Then the night comes and you stalk your prize

And you captured me

I need you to take control

I am a prisoner of no confidence

You've entered me now make me whole

Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul

Your eyes were the camera and you've taken hold

And you captured me

I need you to take control

I am a prisoner of no confidence

You've entered me now make me whole
