From the recording "1989"
Lyrics
You stand all alone in the middle of town
You’re mad at the world as it all comes down around you
Nothing you can do
So you look for a chance of a night on the hill
Where silver and gold can be thrown around in your name
It’s your lion to tame
Oh, Prisoner of a lonely night
Oh, Prisoner of a lonely night
As the years count down we begin to realize
The chances of perfection seem to fade away one by one
If too little is done
Oh, Prisoner of a lonely night
Oh, Prisoner of a lonely night
With no end in sight,
No end in sight
When your dreams come true it can happen to you
A moment of the magic that you know is contained inside you
It’s all that you have to do
(To get your wish)
Oh, Prisoner of a lonely night
Oh, Prisoner of a lonely night
I see an end in sight
Why so sad, Why so sad
(Come on with me)
