"Self Control" lyrics
Marc Almond & Replicant Lyrics
(originally by Raf)
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day, nothing matters
It's the nighttime that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Through the streets of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night
I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not what it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day, nothing matters
It's the nighttime that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Through the streets of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
City light painted girl
In the day, nothing matters
It's the nighttime that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Through the streets of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night
I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not what it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day, nothing matters
It's the nighttime that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Through the streets of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
