Probably the most likely reason. My favorite is that we are all born into A Rigged Casino. We find this out eventually, usually way too long after the discovery would have done any good.
Lyrics: Oh my love is that a vulture? Don’t tell me it’s a vulture Standing beside you Do you see your own face in his eyes? Do you see him like I do? I used to be that, when you said you believed it, I would believe it too. It used to be that, when you said you were leaving, I’d want to follow you, But never where the dogs bark And I remember praying at the dinner table For you to come around, Maybe pat me on the back, When you’re able Now I’ve a dream of you with half a face And you take me to a rooftop and skin me, Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me? And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark, When the shadow of the moon won’t do, Because on you, the moon is but a pearl, Stolen from your mother’s bedside, The day you came into the world. And still now I can hear the dogs bark. And I remember praying at the dinner table, For you to come around, Maybe pat me on the back When you’re able Whole cities light up, But nothing can compare to you, baby. So I stay waiting, Laying on the dinner table, Waiting for you to hurt me Come on, Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me. Come on, Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me (’round the table). And now it’s laying on the table, waiting for you on the table To carve it up and watch the spray go across the river-bed, And sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before And that’s the body; I swear that’s the body I remember, was laying on the dinner table When you came around, said, "You’ll be doing fine when you’re able. Oh whole cities light up, But nothing can compare to you, baby. So I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table. Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, Cut me, cut me, serve me.
I love this song...but I think I like the amazing sessions version of this tune a little better. Please don't take this wrong....Its all good....I love all their music.
While I do agree, you still gotta acknowledge that it's "easier" to perform a note-perfect rendition in a more controlled environment like that, compared to a big stage like this where you gotta perform in more ways that just audibly.

8 years later and I’m still watching this video weekly wishing I had seen them live just once
One of the most underrated songs of all time from one of the most underrated band of all time.
So glad I saw them in Philly years ago. Such a great show, great album. Wish they would come back
Why these guys aren't one of the biggest bands in the world I have no idea
May 'cause they are a really great band and their music is more than just that. :)
Because they've never been on any of the 'Opportunity Knocks' reacharoundfest shows on the propaganda box.
Yeah, Why arent they big. They are the bomb
Didn’t sell their soul most likely reason

Prisoner is one of the BEST albums I've heard in my life. These guys are fucking symphonic, and Hayley's range and passion is unreal.
7 years ago I discovered this song and it's still one of the greatest I've ever heard
Where have these guys gone? Truly amazing band.
Lyrics:
Oh my love is that a vulture?
Don’t tell me it’s a vulture
Standing beside you
Do you see your own face in his eyes?
Do you see him like I do?
I used to be that, when you said you believed it,
I would believe it too.
It used to be that, when you said you were leaving,
I’d want to follow you,
But never where the dogs bark
And I remember praying at the dinner table
For you to come around,
Maybe pat me on the back,
When you’re able
Now I’ve a dream of you with half a face
And you take me to a rooftop and skin me,
Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me?
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark,
When the shadow of the moon won’t do,
Because on you, the moon is but a pearl,
Stolen from your mother’s bedside,
The day you came into the world.
And still now I can hear the dogs bark.
And I remember praying at the dinner table,
For you to come around,
Maybe pat me on the back
When you’re able
Whole cities light up,
But nothing can compare to you, baby.
So I stay waiting,
Laying on the dinner table,
Waiting for you to hurt me
Come on, Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me.
Come on, Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me (’round the table).
And now it’s laying on the table, waiting for you on the table
To carve it up and watch the spray go across the river-bed,
And sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before
And that’s the body; I swear that’s the body
I remember, was laying on the dinner table
When you came around, said, "You’ll be doing fine when you’re able.
Oh whole cities light up,
But nothing can compare to you, baby.
So I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table.
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me,
Cut me, cut me, serve me.
