Lyrics Oingo Boingo – Out Of Control

Everyone says, sooner or later,
You’ll reach the end of the line
When things get rough
Some think it’s easy to jump the ship…

I say, don’t throw it away
There’s about a million reasons why
Though you’ve heard them all before
And you’re getting very tired
Lay your head on my lap
And I’ll sing you this lullaby:

Don’t you know
That everyone around you
Has felt the pain you feel today?
You’re out of control, yeah—
And you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning, it’ll only be a dream
You’re out of control….

There’s a cloud rollin’ overhead
And it seems to rain on no one else
There’s a black sun casting a black shadow
And I know you feel so all alone
You’re out of control—and you want the world to love you
Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know
Yeah, that you live and breathe and suffer
And your back is in the corner
And you’ve got nowhere to go

Nothing for nothing—everything’s right at your fingertips—for a price
Who ever said that life on this planet would ever be paradise?
I say, don’t throw it away; you’ve got too many things to say

Don’t you know
That everyone around you
Has felt the pain you feel today?
You’re out of control, yeah—it’ll only be a dream

You’re out of control—and you move without direction
And people look right through your soul
You’re out of control—and you want someone to tell you:
When you wake up in the morning, it’ll only be a dream
And I wish that I could tell you it’ll only be a dream
