Lyrics

TRAPPED

Live 29 May 1981 version


It seems like I've fallen in your trap again
It seems like I'll be wearing the same old chain
Good will conquer evil and the truth will set me free
Someday I know I will find the key
Yeah somewhere I know I will find the key

It seems like I've been playing your game way too long
It seems the game I played has made you strong
But when the game is over, I won't come out the loser
I know that I will walk out of here again
Someday I will walk out of here again

Trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
I'm trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeahhh

Well it seems like I've been sleeping in your bed too long
And it seems like you've been meaning to do me harm
I know I will see beyond these that wall in front of me
Someday I'll walk out of here again
Maybe I know someday I'll walk out of here again

But now I'm, I'm trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeahhh

Now it seems that I've been playing your game way too long
And it seems the game I played has made you strong

Trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeahhh
Trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Trapped, ooh yeahhh
I'm trapped
