Don't you mess
With a little girl's dream
'Cause she's liable to grow up
Mean
Surprise you to find that I'm laughing?
You thought that you'd find me in tears
You thought I'd be crawling
The walls like a tiny mosquito
And trembling in fear
Well, you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen, understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops and
Castles
All inside the palm of my hand
While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole
In me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control (I have... control...)
Now I have taken control (I have... control...)
Now I have taken control
Control...
This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly
You're scared to let through
You thought you could keep me from loving
Ha, you thought you could feed on my soul
But while you were busy destroying my life
What was half in me has become whole
While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole
In me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control (I have... control...)
Now I have taken control (I have... control...)
Now I have taken control
Control...
So this is how it feels
To breathe in the summer air
To feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear
All those things, you taught me to fear
I've got them in my garden now and
You're not welcome here
Come here
Come a little bit closer...
Let me look at you
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, it's true
But keep in mind my darling
Not every saint is a fool
(Don't)
While you were looking the other way (you mess)
While you had your eyes closed (with me)
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
(Don't)
While you were selling your soul (you mess)
While you were tearing a hole
In me
(I was taking control)
Now I have taken control (I was taking control)
Now I have taken control (control)
Control...
(Control)
Control...
Don't you mess with me
(Spoken)
This cannot be all that there is to life,
Because, in our confrontation, with,
An enormous and cold, universe.
There is something comical, to the idea
That we can really enforce our will, on humanity.
Power, corrupts.
It's your world, do with it what you want!
No, that's not the way to do it.
Power...That's not the way to do it.
Paradox
No
It's your world
No
It's your world
No
It's your world
NO!
Control it! Control it!
(This is scaring me...
I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway
I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway)
At the end of it all lies of course the final phenomenon of deterioration
Entropy
Which is a predictable deterioration when the creative energy ceases...
