[Intro] Don't you mess with a little girl's dream Cause she's liable to grow up mean [Verse 1] Surprised you to find that I'm laughing You thought that you'd find me in tears You thought I'd be crawling the walls Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear Well, you may be king for the moment But I am a queen, understand? And I've got your pawns and your bishops And castles all inside the palm of my hand [Pre-Chorus] While you were looking the other way While you had your eyes closed While you were licking your lips 'Cause I was miserable While you were selling your soul While you were tearing a hole in me [Chorus] I was taking control Now I have taken control (I have control) Now I have taken control (I have control) Now I have taken control, control [Verse 2] This is beginning to feel good Watching you squirm in your shoes A small bead of sweat on your brow and a growl In your belly you're scared to let through You thought you could keep me from loving You thought you could feed on my soul But while you were busy destroying my life What was half in me has become whole [Pre-Chorus] While you were looking the other way While you had your eyes closed While you were licking your lips 'Cause I was miserable While you were selling your soul While you were tearing a hole in me [Chorus] I was taking control Now I have taken control (I have control) Now I have taken control (I have control) Now I have taken control, control [Bridge] So this is how it feels to breathe in the summer air To feel the sand between my toes and love inside my ear All those things that you taught me to fear I've got them in my garden now, and you're not welcome here Come here Come a little bit closer, let me look at you I gave you the benefit of the doubt, it's true But keep in mind, my darling, not every saint is a fool [Pre-Chorus] While you were looking the other way (you messed) While you had your eyes closed (with me) While you were licking your lips 'Cause I was miserable While you were selling your soul (you messed) While you were tearing a hole in me [Chorus 2] I was taking control Now I have taken control (I was taking control) Now I have taken control, control, control Don't you mess with me Father: This cannot be all that there is to life Because in our confrontation With an enormous and cold universe There's something comical To the idea that we can really enforce our will on humanity Power corrupts It's your world, do with it what you want No, that's not the way to do it Power That's not the way to do it Paradox No, it's your world, no, it's your world No, it's your world, no It's your world Child: It's scaring me Father: At the end of it all lies, of course The final phenomenon of deterioration, entropy Which is a predictable deterioration When the creative energy ceases
