Donna Summer - The Hostage Lyrics
Lady: halloKidnapper:Lady weve just kidnapped your husbandHave $800,000 ready by tomorrow nightAnd lady no policeOr youll never see your husband alive againLady: halloI remember standing there so petrifiedMy hand frozen to the phoneAs a strangers words that caught in my earsAnd chilled me to the boneSome dark tragedy had come right home to meTheyd kidnapped my man and his life was in their handsHe was a hostage, a hostageHis life was at the mercy of their handsHe was a hostage, a hostageHis life depending on their gold demandsLady: halloKidnapper:Lady, heres your husband throughTo warn not to play any gamesHusband:Hi honey listen Im okayJust make sure you do whatever they tell youAnd whatever you do dont go to the police!Well I couldnt raise that kinda money fastSo I was left no other choiceSo I called the police and they came in fastSaying leave it up to usJust do as they toldThe ransoms in this bagWell watch over youAnd well have your husband back tooHe was a hostage, a hostageHis life was at the mercy of their handsHe was a hostage, a hostageHis life depending on their gold demandsLady: halloKidnapper:Listen very carefully ladyDrive out to the abandoned shack on highway 16Throw the package of money out the window and keep drivingAnd remember lady no police!Well my heart was heavy as I made that driveI was sure something was wrongI soon found the shackI threw out the bag and I just kept driving onThen the shots rang out and turned my car aboutOn the ground one lay but the other had gotten awayHe was a hostage, a hostageHis life was at the mercy of their handsHe was a hostage, a hostageHis life depending on their gold demandsLady:Well they found my husband a few days laterYes, the funerals tomorrow
