Lyrics
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 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 that 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

Poe →(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 Don't you mess with me
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, 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 It's scaring me
I live at a five-and-a-half minute hallway I live at a five-and-a-half 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
