Lyrics

Kidnapped!
I was kidnapped
I dreamed I was kidnapped
By a guy with a moustache
And a chick with an eyepatch
Who though they could trade me back
For some quick cash
But when they relayed the bargain
My family said
"We'll pay half that"

The haggling went on for days
The days went on for weeks
And weeks for years
Riding in the trunk was never fun
But soon I plum ran out of tears
They camped us in the woods
We cooked canned goods
They never threatened me with pain
They treated cops politely
Driving nightly
Always using coded names
So if slowly I could trust them
Dare I say it even love them
Who's to blame

I learned my alphabet
And letterset while setting up
My latest ransom note
They got me correspondence classes
Got me glasses
Gave me dropcloths in the cold
My fondest memories
Are from my hostage crises
I know it's strange
Although we got so close
You know they never even
Told me their real names
