Prisoner Of Time

Please note: the following are fan-transcribed lyrics from the 1990s; transcribed from Spin Doctors live tapes; taken as-is from the original “Spin Doctors Information Page” (defunct since 2001).

We believe a man’s no more than a snowflake in this life
Well, we may be made of carbon stuff, but he speaks in unique lines
Oh, the soldiers on the line
Don’t be no prisoner of time
Don’t be no prisoner, baby

Try as I said to spend our lives in no test of mettle
In our world, a man’s no more than a flower petal
Oh, the soldiers on the line
Don’t be no prisoner of time
Don’t be no prisoner, baby

Brothers and sisters, boys and girls all join hands
Drop your bread crumbs and pop your fingers,
And listen to the band
Oh, the soldiers on the line,
Don’t be no prisoner of time
Don’t be no prisoner, baby
