Lyrics Mischief & Control - Vonda Shepard

Mischief & Control

There is a fire within all of us
There is a river flowing in your soul
To put out the fire when it gets out of control
There is a stranger in all of us
That we try to get to know
There is a wise woman in theretoo
SheЂ™s trying to run the show
I can not escape the constant equipoise
In between the mischief and control
Swinging from the pendulum of desires
In between the mischief and control
There is a painter in all of us
She knows exactly which brush to choose
She knows exactly where to make a stroke
But thereЂ™s an army of voices
She might have to get through
There is a writer in all of usyeah
He knows what to say and he knows when itЂ™s done
But then thereЂ™s this twenty-foot blank page
You gotta filldarling
Or you think your life has no meaning
I can not escape the constant equipoise
In between the mischief and control
Swinging from the pendulum of desires
In between the mischief and control
Excuses piling up like junkyards
We never want to sort through
Efficiently we hide our needs
And all along a voice is calling out pleaseplease
Ђ™cause IЂ™m so hungry and IЂ™m so tired
I feel so lonelyI feel so wired
I need my angel… where is my angel
