You see we've been born again Since you've slept there in that liars den (den) You cannot be turned Until your innocence is old And you seek out to live alone Though it hurts to make it on your own (own) You can not be saved You gave your innocence away Oh... You will remain a hostage of love A hostage of love Hostage of love
