Lyrics Under Control - Ben Caplan

Under Control

There’s a churning, There’s a churning, There’s a churning around
I can’t fall asleep and the drugs won’t stay down
There’s a burning, There’s a burning, There's a burning I’ve
Found.
It’s deep in the pit Where the blood pumps around
All children are laughing outside.
The work never sleeps and there is no where
to hide
It’s under control far as anyone seen
But there ain’t enough shit to climb out the latrine
There’s a witness, There’s a witness, There’s a witness out there We’ve got to
pretend that the moneys still here
There’s a knocking, There’s a knocking, There’s a knock at the door We’ll tell
them that uncle don’t live here no more
All the angels are crying down stairs the brandy’s run out but their god never
cares
Just grab them and tell them the evenings been ruined and his robes reek of
failure and cheep french perfume
There’s a tinkering, There’s a tinkering, There’s a tinkerer in town she’ll fix
everything till the moneys been found
There’s a watchman, There’s a watchman and he’s guarding the door with a drink
in his hand and a gun on the floor
And the monsters blew in through the sewers again and they spend every night
making evermore friends
They’ve conquered the bowels of Paris and now They have every intention of
Taking the town
There’s a bottle, There’s a bottle, There’s a bottle in my bed It helps me to
reach for the switch in my head
There’s a madness, There’s a madness at bay but a cold wind will blow down the
levee some day
A trade of blows but the doctors been hanged
In a white little house oh the telephone rang and It’s under control far as
anyone seen
But there ain’t enough shit to climb out the latrine
