Control Songtext

von Poe

Don't you mess
With a little girl's dream
Cause she's liable to grow up mean

Suprise you to find that I'm laughing
You thought that you would find me in tears
You thought I would 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 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 (Control)
Now I have taken control (Control)
Now I have taken control

Control

(Meow)

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 (Control)
Now I have taken control (Control)
Now I have taken control

Control!

So this is how it feels to breath in the summer air
To feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear.
All those things that you taught me to fear...
I've got them in my garden now
And you're not welcome here!

(Wel - 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... (with me...)

(I was taking control)

Now I have taken control (I was taking control)
Now I have taken control

Control...control...

So you mess with me...

Father:
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!)

Little Poe:
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

Fahter:
And at the end of it all lies, of course, the final
Phenomenon of deterioration - entropy, which is a predictable
Deteriortion when the creative energy ceases:
Everything has to fall apart.

Little Poe:
Why are you always so serious?!
