Control Lyrics by Desperate Journalist

Desperate Journalist

2014

[Verse 1]
I'm so happy we're here
Just excited to be here
Please don't listen to them, dear
I'm sure you've had a great year

Are we cutting the dead weight?
Are we scaring them all straight?
What a fantastic road rage
Darling go fill up your plate

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold
I can't control
Oh, oh, oh no

[Chorus]
Open the vein
I'll cut the reins
It's like a hole in the head
A thoroughbred

[Verse 2]
(?) service your lips need
I consider it fun for each
And the blood in me calling
I can feel myself falling

And you're making me do this
You are making me do this
I was driven to this
This voluptuous offense

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold
I can't control
Oh, oh, oh no

[Chorus x2]
Open the vein
I'll cut the reins
It's like a hole in the head
A thoroughbred

Open the vein
I'll cut the reins
It's like a hole in the head
A thoroughbred

[Outro]
I'll cut the reins
Like a hole in your head
A thoroughbred
