| Don’t you mess with a little girl’s dream |
| 'Cause she’s liable to grow up mean |
| Surprised you to find that I’m laughing? |
| You thought that you’d find me in tears |
| You thought I’d be crawling the walls |
| Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear |
| Well you may be king for the moment |
| But I am a queen understand |
| x And I’ve got your pawns and your bishops |
| And castles |
| All inside the palm of my hand |
| While you were looking the other way |
| While you had your eyes closed |
| While you were licking your lips |
| 'Cause I was miserable |
| While you were selling your soul |
| While you were tearing a hole in me |
| I was taking control |
| Now I have taken control |
| …CONTROL |
| Now I have taken control |
| …CONTROL |
| NOW I HAVE TAKEN CONTROL |
| …CONTROL |
| This is beginning to feel good |
| Watching you squirm in your shoes |
| A small bead of sweat on your brow |
| And a growl in your belly YOU’RE scared to let |
| through |
| You thought you could keep me from loving |
| You thought you could feed on my soul |
| But while you were busy destroying my life |
| What was half in me has become whole |
| While you were looking the other way |
| While you had your eyes closed |
| While you were licking your lips |
| 'Cause I was miserable |
| While you were selling your soul |
| While you were tearing a hole in me |
| I was taking control |
| Now I have taken control |
| …CONTROL |
| Now I have taken control |
| …CONTROL |
| NOW I HAVE TAKEN CONTROL |
| …CONTROL |
| So this is how it feels |
| To breath in the summer air |
| To feel the sand between my toes |
| And love inside my ear |
| All those things that you taught me to fear |
| I’ve got them in my garden now |
| And YOU’RE not welcome here |
| COME HERE |
| Come a little bit closer |
| Let me look at you |
| I gave you the benefit |
| Of the doubt it’s true |
| But keep in mind my darling |
| Not every saint is a fool |
| While you were looking the other way |
| While you had your eyes closed |
| While you were licking your lips |
| 'Cause I was miserable |
| While you were selling your soul |
| While you were tearing a hole in me |
| I was taking control |
| Now I have taken control |
| I WAS TAKING CONTROL |
| Now I have taken control |
| …CONTROL |
| Don’t you mess with me |
| Father: THIS CANNOT BE ALL THAT THERE IS to life |
| than this, because in our |
| confrontation with AN ENORMOUS AND cold universe, |
| there is something comical |
| to the idea that we can really impose our will on |
| humanity. Power corrupts. |
| IT’S YOUR WORLD. DO WITH IT WHAT YOU WANT. |
| NO, THAT’S NOT THE WAY TO DO IT. |
| POWER… |
| THAT’S NOT THE WAY TO DO IT. |
| PARADOX. |
