Tears For Fears - Out of Control lyrics

Goodbye desperado
If they hadn't sucked out all the poison from
Your veins you'd be dead by now
Too late frida kahlo
You could have the power of the phoenix and
The flame if you knew just how

Come the hour come the mantra
Repeat in defeat with the pots and the pans
Walk away walk on water
They're young then they're old then
They don't give a damn yeah but you
You're out of control
Your babies are changing
You're out of control

Sleepless situation
Shaken by the clatter of the clinking on
The bars of your private jail
Twisted ultimatum
Searching for a lifeline or a band aid
For your sins in the morning mail

Tow the line floating islands
They're here and they're now
But they're oceans away tie them down
Baby lions you'll bleed and you'll plead and
You'll beg them to stay

Yeah but you you're out of control
Your babies are changing
You're out of control

Don't be afraid now your cover is blown
Don't shed a tear now your babies are grown
