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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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
