Come - escape from your pain,
See the colors again
The rainbow is yours just to take.
Control is the name of my game.
Relax - open wide -
Let my magic inside
One snort or one hit,
One gulp for the road,
Let your mind spin with carefree joy.
Control is the name of my game.
My name is Addiction,
I’m evil! I kill!
But I’ll make you think I’m your friend.
Control is the name of my game.
Don’t try to escape,
I won’t let you go.
You’re hooked on the edge of my knife,
I’ll govern the rest of your life.
Control is the name of my game.
I’ll hold you, I’ll keep you
‘Till Hell freezes over.
You’ll never escape from my charm.
I’ll ease all your pains,
The world will seem right.
Control is the name of my game.
But your friend over there,
The one who won’t do,
Knows that I’m really a fake.
He knows he can conquer,
He knows he can win.
Control is the name of his game.
He’s discovered my scam,
He knows that I cheat,
He knows that you’re doomed if you stay.
Control is the name of his game.
He’s learned I’ll destroy,
He’s learned I can’t win,
If only he keeps up his guard.
Control is the name of his game.
He’s strong, he’s determined
I can’t break his will,
Though I try and I tempt and I beg.
Control is the name of his game.
He discovered the will to keep me away,
I know that I don’t have a home.
He’s has tools, he has drive,
He won’t take me back.
I know that he won’t take me back.
He says that I’ll go to my grave.
Control is the name of his game.
He’s conquered, he’s won,
He’s strong, he’ll survive.
His life is his own.
