Got Control Of Me

Sound Of One
Beautiful
And Blind
Linda
lives out in the trailer park
With her
man of 20 years
Things go
on there no one talks about
Nathan
got himself a beauty
But she
stays out late most every night
She comes
home drunk and says Don’t bother me
He slips
his arms around her sleeping body
Somewhere
there’s a celebration
A wedding
day in lace and light
So how
come love’s so beautiful
How come
love’s so beautiful
How come
love’s so beautiful and blind
It would
mean a lot to me
If you’d
turn around
And maybe
you would see
What I
have found
In your
love
How come,
how come love
Is so
beautiful and blind
How come,
how come love
Is so
beautiful and blind
Everything
I ever did can not be undone
And every
love I ever lost could not have been won
What
would you do if I was to say to you
I was
only having fun
If you
ever get to heaven
Sneak me
inside
Cause I’ve
been walking with the devil
He’s
taken my life
From all
the fishes in the deep blue sea
To the
stars up in the sky
There’s
a million possibilities
To sink
or get high
And
though those chances come and go
I thought
you might be the one
If you
ever get to heaven
Sneak me
inside
Cause I’ve
been walking with the devil
He’s
taken my life
I dreamed
you were an angel
Sent down
from the sun
So if the
dark should fall on me
You’d
show me where to run
So if you
ever get to heaven
Sneak me
inside
Cause I’ve
been walking with the devil
He’s
taken my life
You gotta
wait for me
Wait for
me
Wait for
me
If you
ever get to heaven
My hands
are shaking
My heart
is pounding
All cause
of you
My words
are fumbled
My mouth
is dry
All cause
of you
What
could I do
I’m on
fire
I’m on
fire
I’m on
fire
You’ve
got control of me
You take
my breath away from me
Somehow I
knew
I’d
never get away
Cause you’ve
got control of me
You stood
in the doorway
There was
a light behind you
Hurting
my eyes
It was a
perfect moment
One I
will remember
All of my
life
I still
don’t know why
I’m on
fire
I’m on
fire
I’m on
fire
For you
You don’t
have to be so cool
To keep
from crying
You don’t
have to be so nice
When you’re
falling down
Mama’s
in the kitchen talking to herself
Saturdays
never made her feel very well
Daddy
spends weekdays bouncing off the walls
Saying
please Mama, please Mama
You say
you give me love
I call it
something else
Don’t
wanna be like that
Don’t
wanna be like that
You can
take it back
Don’t
wanna be like that
You don’t
have to be so strong
When you
feel like walking
There’s
a place where we belong
I’m
gonna take you there
Mama’s
in the kitchen talking to herself
Saturdays
never made her feel very well
Daddy
spends weekdays bouncing off the wall
Saying
please Mama, please Mama
You say
you give me love
I call it
something else
Don’t
wanna hold this thing above you
Or put
you on some shelf
Don’t
wanna be like that
Don’t
wanna be like that
You can
take it back
Don’t
wanna ever be, never be like that
You don’t
have to be so cool
To be
with me
My uncle
came down in the morning
Looking
like the crack of dawn
His hair
was combed and his shirt was clean
There was
something going on
He said I
laid upstairs and I listened
While the
world went round and round
There was
something that I’d been missing
And I
thought I heard a sound
Saying
time won’t heal
What only
time can tell
And I’ve
been waiting on those mission bells
There’s
a line we feel
Between
the heaven and hell
And the
waiting on those mission bells
The
waiting on those mission bells
Well some
of us wait until winter
Before we
feel the cold
Some of
us hold onto some things
Like they’re
worth their weight in gold
My uncle
just stood by the window
Thinking
of the days he lied
To the
people he gathered around him
And the
voice he heard inside
Saying
come on down
Come on
down
Come on,
come on
Come on
down
Cause
only time can heal
What only
time can tell
And I’ve
been waiting on those mission bells
There’s
a line we feel
Between
the heaven and hell
And the
waiting on those mission bells
There’s
a line we feel
Between
the heaven and hell
And the
waiting on those mission bells
The
waiting on those mission bells
The
nights are getting clear and long
The
curtains are blowing
There
goes another year, another song
Never
thought I’d last this long
But that’s
o.k.
It doesn’t
matter anyway
I still
have these photographs
I still
have those dreams
When
there’s no place left to hide
The road
is free and wide
Dana has
a smile like a negligee
The more
she wears it the less I say
I can see
Dana slip away
The time
is getting near and soon
I’ll go
down to meet her
We’ll
have another beer, another tune
And play
it to an empty room
But that’s
o.k.
It doesn’t
matter anyway
I still
have these photographs
I still
have those dreams
When
there’s no place left to hide
The road
is free and wide
Dana has
a smile like a negligee
The more
she wears it the less I say
And I can
see Dana slip away
Sideway
glances
Ice-cube
jangling sounds
In a
universe that overflows with stars
That will
watch you
Anywhere,
anytime you move
Picture
perfect
I thought
I saw you smile
As the
radio crackles through the dark
It’s
closing time once again
Be my
friend tonight
Once
there was a road I used to know
That took
me to the sound of drums
Now it’s
just a place I used to go
I cannot
see it now
I do not
want to run
I cannot
hear the sound of one
Call it
crazy
Say its
just a phase
I’ll be
over this when morning comes around
Before I
go I’m waking you
And
taking you with me
Once
there was a road I used to know
That took
me to the sound of drums
Now its
just a place I used to go
I cannot
see it now
I
do not
want to run
I cannot
hear the sound of one
The sound
of one will ring out loud
The sound
of one will ring out loud
