♪ She's living in the rising sun of gold She's floating through the cold And she's living in the never-to-dispose of fire She's lost her way in the cold And she gave away the secrets of her past And said, I must control the end And with a voice full of wet wet lies She said, I must control the end ♪ And she turned to me and took me by the hand And said, I must control the end And all I'm left with are these wild gooseflesh She said, I must control the end And she screamed out, kicking on the side And said, I must control the end She seemed to run before her but she died And said, I must control the end She must control the end She must control She must control the end She must control ♪ Well, I had a boyfriend who stayed the same He said, I must control the end And he showed her all the errors of his days He said, I must control the end But she had turned herself in many a little ways And said, I must control the end And walked up on the edge of no escape And laughed, I must control the end She must control the end She must control She must control the end She must control ♪ I could never hurt her better than when the mistletoe lies And when the dark was closing, I couldn't come down and cry I could never lose her in the wilder life When did the shame come? When did the pain come? She was a little girl ♪ When did it come? ♪
