No Control

David Bowie · Outside [1995]

You stay away from the future

Back away from the light

It's all deranged

No control



Sit tight in your corner

Don't tell God your plans

It's all deranged

No control



If I could control tomorrow's haze

The darkest shore would not bother me

If I can't control the web we weave

My life will be lost in falling leaves



Every single move's uncertain

Don't tell God your plans

It's all deranged

No control



I shall live my life on bended knee

If I can't control my destiny

You've gotta have a scheme, you've gotta have a plan

In the world of today, for tomorrow's man



No control



Stay away from the future

Don't tell God your plans

It's all deranged

No control



Forbidden words deafen me

(No, no)

In memory, no control

(No, no)

See how far a sinful man

(No, no)

Burn his tracks, his bloody robes



You've gotta have a scheme, you've gotta have a plan

In the world of today, for tomorrow's man

I should live my life on bended knee

If I can't control my destiny



No control

I can't believe I've no control

It's all deranged

I can't believe I've no control

It's all deranged

Deranged

Deranged
