You Take Control (1991 demo) - Bonus Track

from Brendan & The Extenuating Circumstances (Back Issue Series) by GrooveLily

lyrics

Well I've been wondering what you want me to do
with the things you left behind.
And I no longer understand what's with you
and the workings of your mind.

You took off in such a hurry that day
and my house is full of crazy things that you have thrown away.
Without words, with that look, you react, take your bags and take control.

And lately people seem to flock to your side
in search of your guiding light
and with your simple facts, you help them decide
it's either black or white.

You got the cleanest reputation in town
and people put their trust in you, you cannot let them down
underneath, deep inside, you are weak with your struggle for control.

And when I see you now you're pouring water on your fire
quenching love and passion and boxing up your soul
and this desire for control is now controlling your desire
pretty soon you won't have anything at all
except your control

And when life gets rough some people will hide
and some people stand and take the heat
although it may cost them pride
and then some sacrifice everything to remain
in control.
And you take control.
