I know where to go but I know that I shouldn't go   I go anyway, I make myself so miserable   I know what to look for, I have made the deals before   The men in puffy jackets standing on the street corner   They say "Hey", they say "hey kid"   They say "Hey", they say "hey kid"      And I say, "When will I be free? When will I stop torturing me?"   Well, I tell myself no, but the words don't mean a thing   I'm not in control   I'm like an overthrown king      I've been up and down these city streets a thousand times   But when it's cold and when it's late at night it's hard to find   I call every number that I know and they all ring   Like cathedral bells on Sunday when no one's listening   They go ding, they go ding dong   They go ding, they go ding dong      And I go   Well, I tell myself no, but the words don't mean a thing   I'm not in control   I'm like an overthrown king      [Throw me over   Throw me over]      I tell myself no   I tell myself no no no no no oh
