she's lost control/i can't control myself

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.

She's lost control.

And she's clinging to the nearest passer by,

She's lost control.

And she gave away the secrets of her past,

And said i've lost control again,

And a voice that told her

when and where to act,

She said i've lost control again.

And she turned around

and took me by the hand and said,

I've lost control again.

And how i'll never know

just why or understand,

She said i've lost control again.

And she screamed out

kicking on her side and said,

I've lost control again.

And seized up on the floor,

I thought she'd die.

She said i've lost control.

She's lost control again.

She's lost control.

She's lost control again.

She's lost control.

Well i had to phone her friend

to state my case,

And say she's lost control again.

And she showed up

all the errors and mistakes,

And said i've lost control again.

But she expressed herself

in many different ways,

Until she lost control again.

And walked upon

the edge of no escape,

And laughed I've lost control.

She's lost control again. She's lost control.

She's lost control again.

She's lost control.

(Joy Division, Unknown Pleasures, 1979)

across the pathless sands

through jungle, blind, i run

no guide taken in hand

and no idea where to turn

no sanctuary found

i tear myself in two

i pray for scarlet fields to save me

whole and white and pure

i can't control myself

lend one of your hands because i

i can't control myself

i dream of lost desires

fingers run through fur

i drive myself insane

the rain cascades onto the dirt

and in the throes of love

where the shadows burst in flames

i cast myself abandoned

with a cry i call your name

i can't control myself

i try and i try but i

i can't control myself

i can't control myself

lend one of your hands because i

i can't control myself

or hold myself in though i try

i can't control myself

deliver me from the fire because i

i can't control myself
