Hostage

Something in Maria just drove me crazy
Don't know what it was that pulled me in
Inner voice had warned me I just ignored it
This time I just gave right in

Don't know why sometime I get reckless
A chemical will disengage my mind
Oh I am love's machine a pawn unto her queen
And far from this corruption I will hide

Look out love will take you hostage
Find yourself on further up that road
Battered, bruised, broken and discarded
There ain't no roadmap for the soul

With this despair I took my sins to Jesus
Laid 'em down in chains upon his feet
He said "you can't be saved" - and he turned his eyes away
Said, "I felt that way for Mary Magdalene"

Look out love will take you hostage
Find yourself on further up that road
Battered, bruised, broken and discarded
There ain't no roadmap for the soul

Oh the truth is in the eyes of Mona Lisa
Hidden in the banquet of her smile
In the hunger of King David for Bathsheba
And the lust of Heloise for Abelard

Look out love will take you hostage
Find yourself on further up that road
Battered, bruised, broken and discarded
There ain't no roadmap for the soul
