Control

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.

Chorus...

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.

now i have taken control.

now i have taken control.

control...

Don't you mess

With a little girl's dream

'Cause she's liable to grow up

Mean

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

Your scared to let through

You thought you could keep me from loving

You thought you could feed on my soul

But while you were busy destroying my life

What was half in me has become whole.

-= Chorus =-

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!

=Chorus=

(don't

you mess

with me)

This cannot be all 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.
