Oingo Boingo – Out of Control

Everyone says sooner or later you’ll reach the end of the line

When things get rough some think it’s easy to jump the ship . . .

You decide

I say–don’t throw it away

There’s about a million reasons why

Though you’ve heard them all before

And you’re getting very tired

Lay your head on my lap and I’ll sing you this lullaby

CHORUS

Don’t you know

That everyone around you

Has felt the pain you feel today

You’re out of control yeah–and you want someone to tell you

When you wake up in the morning it’ll only be a dream

You’re out of control . . .

There’s a cloud-rollin’ overhead and it seems to rain on no one else

There’s a black sun–casting a black shadow,

and I know you feel so all alone

You’re out of control–and you want the world to love you

Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know

That you live and breathe and suffer

And your back is in the corner and you’ve got nowhere to go

Nothin’ for nothin’–everything’s right at your fingertips–for a price

Who ever said that life on this planet would ever be paradise

I say–don’t throw it away, you’ve got too many things to say

If you throw your life, if you throw away your life . . .

THe world will never be the same

CHORUS

You’re out of control–and you move without direction

And people look right through your soul

You’re out of control–and you want someone to tell you

When you wake up in the morning it’ll only be a dream

And I wish that I could tell you, it’ll only be a dream
