Control Freak Lyrics by Recoil

Unsound Methods

1997

[Verse 1: Maggie Estep]
A girl who can't shake off the smell
Of a man she met but didn't know well
She thinks she feels him in her skin
She thinks she sees his sideways grin
She sees him on the street by chance
Follows him as if entranced
Gets on a train that he gets on
A girl like this she is possessed

[Verse 2: Maggie Estep]
She sits two seats behind his own
Can hear him sigh, a little moan
She wonders what he's thinking of
As he removes his right hand glove
She notices his hand is strange
As if the bones were rearranged
She thinks of what she'll say to him
She hears it playing deep within

[Chorus: Hepzibah Sessa]
You're all I need to get high

[Verse 3: Maggie Estep]
The man jumps to his feet just then
Slips out the train and 'round a bend
She almost loses sight of him
Shuts her eyes, thinks of his skin
She catches up just as he goes
Into a bar and down below
To where cases of wine are stacked
There is no light, it's nearly black

[Chorus: Siobhan Lynch, (Hildia Campbell)]
You're all I need to get high (You're all I need to get high)
You're all I need to get high (You're all I need to get high)
You're all I need to get high (You're all I need to get high)

[Verse 4: Maggie Estep]
He turns around to face her then
His right hand seems to claw the air
She doesn't know why she came here
She doesn't know what possessed her
Sweat's running down her spine
But then he breaks into a smile
That lights up his whole face
And then he starts to laugh and laugh, and laugh
And then he says, "I've thought about you
Since that day we met but barely spoke"

[Interlude]

[Verse 5: Maggie Estep]
They start to kiss
He rubs his hand inside her tight's inner band
She shivers up against him hard
She reaches inside of him far
But then she stops, she pulls away
She starts to go and he tells her "stay"
But she walks determined up the stairs
She sways a bit, she flaunts her wares

[Verse 6: Maggie Estep, (Siobhan Lynch)]
She's got him where she wants him now
She knows he'll follow hardand how anything she says will go
Any yes she'll turn to no
He follows her outside and says (You're all I need to get high)
"Hey wait, don't go, stay here"
She turns around and sneers at him
And walks away for days (You're all I need to get high)
(You're all I need to get high)
(You're all I need to get high)
(You're all I need to get high)
(You're all I need...)
