Out of Control

from A Little Heat by Andrew Grimm

/

lyrics

darkly I gaze into the days ahead
where they measure your worth by the measure of your debt
everyone lives on the wrong side of town
racing each other on a merry-go-round

with a roll of dollars as big as your fist
you can make any man cease and desist
until he can't remember
if he even exists

what was once a simple joke
is overgrown, wild
and out of control
out of control

quickly we sink without a warning bell
take away that hammer and its just a shell
someone once said someday we'd need
but no one remembers how to make it ring

and so you pray to anything to clear the way
throw ourselves in the river
to wash the dirt away
shovel shit straight up our veins

what was once a simple joke
is overgrown, wild
and out of control
out of control

slowly this storm rises up from behind
somehow it got us right between the eyes
hope is just a flicker in the pitch black night
reminding everyone that there used to be light

from your hand to your heart
your mind to your tongue
was it ever this hard to love someone?
you know a bell cannot be un-rung

what was once a simple joke
is overgrown, wild
and out of control
out of control
