Intro: (x4) I tried to control my shaking With just one sigh I tried to warm the ocean By riding it down I tried to tame my nightmares Line by line For I had a song about you Then make you mine The conductor caught in slow-motion The orchestra plays on Over and over the same motion This work is never done The only thing that's certain Is your indecision I guess it must be working Cause you hit me with such precision Now the strings are breaking Your fingers run with blood But they keep on playing The cycle never stops Who's in control? Who's playing who? She wants to be a monster Conducting them too She knows the song won't save her But what else can she do She weeps just like a willow And she's playing for you She's fragile and she's ferocious As the current flows through She's a conductor caught in slow-motion The orchestra plays on Over and over the same motion This work is never done Now here comes the crescendo The music starts to sway And now it's so ecstatic I know this part so well And then it goes staccato The notes were flying on Higher and higher But they never reach the top Who's in control? Who's playing who? Who's in control? Who's playing who? I am the orchestra Conductor too My heart is a concert hall And I filled it with you
