Tempesst - Prisoner of Desire lyrics

Artist: Tempesst

album: Prisoner of Desire


I'm a prisoner of desire
And I keep my cell neat
'Cause I'm done taking victims in this self-centered life
And I stay the night because I'm not one to retreat
And I watched you go to sleep as peaceful as a dove
Peaceful as a dove
I'll be the wandering cowboy looking for home
Babe, I'll be the butterfly in your glass dome
'Cause every Mona Lisa needs a velvet rope
I'm a prisoner of desire
And I know the guilty don't rest their feet
So I practice a shade of sin in between black and white
And my merciless memory keeps no record of my wrongs
Like the gilded history of our old navy's painted hall
It's not history at all
I'll be the wandering cowboy looking for home
Babe, I'll be the butterfly in your glass dome
'Cause every Mona Lisa needs a velvet rope
To keep the dirty hands away
The precious cargo safe
To keep the vultures from picking at the prey
And the old thief from the door
Out of my mind and off my shoulders
Because he takes and takes 'til there's no more
I raised El Dorado and I'm still looking for the gold
Babe, I'll be the butterfly in your glass dome
'Cause every Mona Lisa needs a velvet rope
