"Out Of Control" lyrics

Out Of Control

I was out
In the city
I was out
In the rain
I was feeling
Downhearted
I was drinking
Again

I was standing
By the bridges
Where the dark
Water flows
I was talking
To a stranger
About times
Long ago

I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
I was lucky
Tell me how
Have I changed
Oh, yeah

Now I'm out
Oh, out
Of control
Now I'm out
Oh, out
Of control, yeah
Oh, help me now

And the girls
In the doorway
And the boys
On the game
And the drunks
And the homeless
They all know me

And the police
On the corner
Give a nod
And a wave
As they point me
To my final
Destination

I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
Feeling lucky
Tell me how
Have I changed

Now I'm out
Oh, out
Of control, oh
Now I'm out
Oh, out
Of control
Oh, help me now

In the hotel
I'm excited
By the smile
On her face
But I wondered
How was time
Gonna change her, yeah

I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
I was out there
Tell me how
Have I changed

Now I'm out
Oh, out
Of control
Oh, yes
Oh, I'm out
Oh, out
Of control
Oh, yeah
