- Self Control LyricsOh the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Down the street of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night, I'm living in a forest of my dream
(You take my self, you take my self control)
I know the night is not as it would seem
(You take my self, you take my self control)
I must believe in something so I'll make myself believe it
(You take my self, you take my self control)
That this night will never go
(You take my self, you take my self control)
(Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
Oh the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
You take myself, you take my self control
(Oh the night is my world)
You got me living only for the night
(City light painted girl)
Before the morning comes, the story's told
(In the day nothing matters)
You take myself, you take my self control
(It's the night time that flatters)
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows
A safe night, I'm living in a forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
(Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
I, I live among the creatures of the night
(You take my self, you take my self control) (Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
I haven't got the will to try and fight
(You take my self, you take my self control) (Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
I'm living in a forest of my dream
(You take my self, you take my self control) (Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
I know the night is not as it would seem
(You take my self, you take my self control) (Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
It's my world
(You take my self, you take my self control) (Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh)
