Prisoner of His Mind
Dieter Meier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The fugitive is fighting the invisible jail
Can he ever make it or is he gonna fail
Babylon is waiting for the prisoner of his mind
Babylon is everywhere I'm running out of time

Drive drive do we get it on
Drive drive to Babylon
Drive drive do we get it on
Drive drive to Babylon

Babylon is everywhere and to a sticky tape
The flies are flying to the light and trying to escape
The years are eating up his time a prisoner of his mind
He is alone in Babylon with millions of his kind

Drive drive do we get it on
Drive drive to Babylon
Drive drive do we get it on
Drive drive to Babylon

The fugitive is fighting the invisible jail
Can he ever make it or is he gonna fail
Babylon is waiting for the prisoner of his mind
Babylon is everywhere I'm running out of time

Drive drive do we get it on
Drive drive to Babylon
Drive drive do we get it on
Drive drive to Babylon

Babylon is everywhere and to a sticky tape
The flies are flying to the light and trying to escape




The years are eating up his time a prisoner of his mind
He is alone in Babylon with millions of his kind
