No Self-Control - Lyrics by Peter Gabriel


Lyrics
Got to get some food
I'm so hungry all the time
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop


Got to get some sleep
I'm so nervous in the night
I don't know how to stop

No, I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop


Got to pick up the phone
I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
I know I'm gone too far

Much too far I gone this time

And I don't want to think what I've done
I don't know how to stop

No, I don't know how to stop


There are always hidden silences

Waiting behind the chair

They come out when the coast is clear

They eat anything that moves
I go shaky at the knees

Lights go out, stars come down

Like a swarm of bees


No self-control


You know I hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain

But I don't know how to stop

No, I don't know how to stop


Street after street

Night after night
I walk on through the rain
I walk on through the rain
I don't know how to stop
