Out of Control

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, you don't have to run away to join the circus The circus is right here and it swallowed you whole You don't have to fake a fall to make us nervous By drinking from a empty bowl But that tightrope walk is just danger on the take And it's a lot more safe than bein' burned at the stake Those crocodile tears are just a little bit lake You've got your net if you lose control [Chorus] Out of control, out of control Cast your fate to the wind Tie your saints to their sins You know you're never gonna win 'Til you're out of control [Verse 2] Well, they'rе handin' away free tickets for the show They'rе payin' off reporters and people in the know The bandwagon's rollin' in a screen of smoke The emperor has definitely got his new clothes But his story got borin' the second time around And the crowds stayed home when the rains fell down His fame faded quiet without no sound You know that nature was what they could not control [Chorus] Out of control, out of control Cast your fate to the wind Tie your saints to their sins You know you're never gonna win 'Til you're out of control [Verse 3] Well, Saint Joseph and Mary at the end of their rope Dreamin' sacrilegious messages to send to the pope Resistance not submission is our only hope You know that faith can take its toll Rememberin' a time when another child was born No means of support or time to warn No conception of what it means to be torn When your father says you are out of control [Chorus] Out of control, out of control Cast your fate to the wind Tie your saints to their sins You know you're never gonna win 'Til you're out of control [Verse 4] Well, the freedom fighter is fakin' his friendship With a fifty-state waltz of ethnic roles Foundin' his fortune on faces called hip Who know that he's ahead in the polls But somethin' is missing in that down-home smile Like Judas kissin' babies ahead of his trial And the grass-roots religion ain't a martyr to style You know the vote is what they cannot control [Chorus] Out of control, out of control Cast your fate to the wind Tie your saints to their sins You know you're never gonna win 'Til you're out of control [Verse 5] Well, the pagan rain falls out in left field Red hair and hotdogs and a wounded goal It was the last of the ninth in the early summer heat Before the factory claimed his soul And those aching voices vasectomizin' dreams Cut off from visions with midnight screams Banishing blessings like a wounded priest When his life fell out of their control [Chorus] Out of control, out of control Cast your fate to the wind Tie your saints to their sins You know you're never gonna win 'Til you're out of control [Verse 6] Well, the animal uncaged in a rat-black coat In a typewriter romance with eyes like coal Finding his fortune in a rainbow boat Alchemist treason for his pot of gold "I am with you." he cried as if he just made up his mind The reluctant reaper is shakin' with desire But tomorrow is loose on a horizon of fire I would pay you but I lost control [Chorus] Out of control, out of control Cast your fate to the wind Tie your saints to their sins You know you're never gonna win 'Til you're out of control Out of control, out of control Cast your fate to the wind Tie your saints to their sins You know you're never gonna win 'Til you're out of control Out of control, out of control Cast your fate to the wind Tie your saints to their sins You know you're never gonna win 'Til you're out of control Out of control, out of control Cast your fate to the wind
