Story behind the song
This is a very unique song that has sprang from Gary Carciello's very talented and deep musical well. He amazes us at how he can squeeze such a tasteful guitar solo in such a short space!
DrC's keys/Moog are outstanding on this song as is his mixing abilities!
Rob is showing his bass playing versatility in Prisoner as you can hear hints of Getty Lee. Rob does have quick fingers!
When I first heard this song I was taken back a bit. It sounded great as an instrumental and I wasn't sure if I could help or hurt it with vocal additions. Truthfully I was intimidated by the unusual timing but the more I listened the more it came into focus. What went down is what I heard in my head.

Lyrics
Prisoner
V1 - If you were a bird, I'd put you in a cage
I could hear you sing, but you wouldn't be my slave
Chorus - I would be your prisoner
At your beckon call
Cause your love surrounds me
Like a prison's walls
I would be your captive
Down on bended knees
Cause your love surrounds me
Like a lover needs
V2 - If you were a flower, I'd put you in a garden
I could smell your sweetness, but I wouldn't be your warden
V3 If you were a pony, I'd put you in a pasture
I could watch you run, but I wouldn't be your master
Chorus - I would be your prisoner
At your beckon call
Cause your love surrounds me
Like a prison's walls
I would be your captive
Down on bended knees
Cause your love surrounds me
Like a lover needs
Farrell Jackson
