Got to get some food
i'm so hungry all the time
i don't know how to stop
i don't know how to stop

got to get some sleep
i'm so nervous in the night
i don't know how to stop
no, i don't know how to stop
i don't know how to stop
i don't know how to stop

got to pick up the phone
i will call any number
i will talk to anyone
i know i'm gone too far
much too far i gone this time
and i don't want to think what i've done
i don't know how to stop
no, i don't know how to stop

there are always hidden silences
waiting behind the chair
they come out when the coast is clear
they eat anything that moves
i go shaky at the knees
lights go out, stars come down
like a swarm of bees

no self-control
no self-control
no self-control
no self-control
no self-control
no self-control
no self-control
you know i hate to hurt you
i hate to see your pain
but i don't know how to stop
no, i don't know how to stop

street after street
night after night
i walk on through the rain
i walk on through the rain
i don't know how to stop
i don't know how to stop
no, i don't know how to stop
i don't know how to stop
i don't know how to stop
i don't know how to stop
