Poe - Control
текст песни

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.
