Lyrics
Across the pathless sands
Through jungle, blind, I run
No guide taken in hand
And no idea where to turn.
No sanctuary found
I tear myself in two
I pray for scarlet fields to save me
Whole and white and pure.
I can't control myself
Lend one of your hands cos' I,
I can't control myself.
I dream of lost desires
Fingers run through fur
I drive myself insane
The rain cascades onto the dirt.
And in the throes of love
Where the shadows burst in flames
I cast myself abandoned
With a cry I call your name.
I can't control myself
I try and I try but I,
I can't control myself.
I can't control myself
Lend one of your hands cos' I,
I can't control myself
Or hold myself in though I try
I can't control myself
Deliver me from the fire
I can't control myself.
