[00:03.06]Don't you mess with a little girl's dream
[00:09.31]'Cause she's liable to grow up mean
[00:14.68]Surprise you to find that I'm laughing?
[00:17.67]You thought that you'd find me in tears
[00:20.69]You thought I'd be crawling the walls like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear
[00:26.61]Well, you may be king for the moment
[00:29.40]But I am a queen, understand
[00:32.52]And I've got your pawns and your bishops and castles all inside the palm of my hand
[00:39.39]While you were looking the other way
[00:42.36]While you had your eyes closed
[00:45.32]While you were licking your lips 'cause I was miserable
[00:51.23]While you were selling your soul
[00:54.15]While you were tearing a hole in me
[01:00.00](I was taking control)
[01:02.71]Now I have taken control (I have control)
[01:08.55]Now I have taken control (I have control)
[01:14.50]Now I have taken control
[01:19.94]Control
[01:26.02]This is beginning to feel good
[01:28.87]Watching you squirm in your shoes
[01:31.81]A small bead of sweat on your brow
[01:33.73]And a growl in your belly you're scared to let through
[01:37.72]You thought you could keep me from loving
[01:40.63]You thought you could feed on my soul
[01:43.61]But while you were busy destroying my life
[01:46.24]What was half in me has become whole
[01:50.48]While you were looking the other way
[01:53.40]While you had your eyes closed
[01:56.48]While you were licking your lips 'cause I was miserable
[02:02.38]While you were selling your soul
[02:05.35]While you were tearing a hole in me
[02:11.14](I was taking control)
[02:13.89]Now I have taken control (I have control)
[02:19.74]Now I have taken control (I have control)
[02:25.61]Now I have taken control
[02:31.19]Control
[02:35.55]So this is how it feels
[02:39.32]To breathe in the summer air
[02:42.92]To feel the sand between my toes and love inside my ear
[02:49.84]All those things that you taught me to fear
[02:53.98]I've got them in my garden now and you're not welcome here
[03:00.04]Come here
[03:05.68]Come a little bit closer
[03:08.64]Let me look at you
[03:13.04]I gave you the benefit of the doubt, it's true
[03:18.59]But keep in mind my darling
[03:21.39]Not every saint is a fool
[03:23.65](Don't)
[03:25.34]While you were looking the other way (you mess)
[03:28.21]While you had your eyes closed (with me)
[03:31.23]While you were licking your lips 'cause I was miserable
[03:37.16](Don't)
[03:37.25]While you were selling your soul (you mess)
[03:40.15]While you were tearing a hole in me
[03:46.70](I was taking control)
[03:48.86]Now I have taken control (I was taking control)
[03:54.60]Now I have taken control (control)
[04:00.09]Control
[04:05.46]Control
[04:11.38]Don't you mess with me
[04:22.97]This cannot be all that there is to life
[04:25.42]Because, in our confrontation
[04:28.72]With an enormous and cold universe
[04:32.67]There is something comical
[04:34.86]To the idea that we can really enforce our, our will on humanity
[04:41.84]Power corrupts
[04:46.06]It's your world, do with it what you want
[04:51.02]No, that's not the way to do it
[04:53.97]Power
[04:54.88]That's not the way to do it
[04:56.56]Paradox
[04:57.35]No
[04:57.53]It's your world
[04:59.34]No
[04:59.34]It's your world
[05:00.28]No
[05:00.54]It's your world
[05:01.80]No
[05:04.53]Control it
[05:09.58]Control it
[05:16.81]It's scaring me
[05:27.66]I live at a five-and-a-half minute hallway
[05:37.05]I live at a five-and-a-half minute hallway
[05:50.36]At the end of it all lies of course the final phenomenon of deterioration
[05:56.32]Entropy
[05:58.45]Which is a predictable deterioration when the creative energy ceases
