[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]

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

But 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


[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]

I got to pick up the phone

I will call any number

I will talk to anyone

I know I've gone too far

Much too far I gone this time

I don't want to think what I've done

'Cause I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to stop


[Bridge: Peter Gabriel]

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

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush]

No self control

No self control

No self control

No self control

No self control (No self control)

No self control (No self control)

No self control, no self (No, no)


[Interlude: Kate Bush]

(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)

(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)

(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)

(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)


[Verse 3: Peter Gabriel]

You know I hate to hurt you

I hate to see your pain

But I don't know how to stop

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


[Outro: Peter Gabriel]

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

Hey, I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to stop
