Laura Branigan Self Control Lyrics

Self Control Lyrics

Oh, the night is my world  
City light painted girl  
In the day nothing matters  
It's the night time that flatters  
In the night, no control  
Through the wall something's breaking  
Wearing white as you're walkin'  
Down the street of my soul  
 
You take my self, you take my self control  
You got me livin' 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 my dream  
I know the night is not as 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, the night is my world  
City light painted girl  
In the day nothing matters  
It's the night time that flatters  
 
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 knows  
 
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream  
I know the night is not as 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  
You take my self, you take my self control  
You take my self, you take my self control ... [fade out]
