Out of Control
L.H. & the Memphis Sounds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a fever and it's out of control, yeah
Incarnation of a higher trapped soul, yeah
I said it's vicious and it's out of control, yeah
Out of control, yeah
I've got a fever but it's hidden to you
In plain sight but out of the blue, yeah
That said it's out of control, yeah
Out of control, yeah
So, what's keeping you at bay?
Away from disarray
When your life breaks away
A shard a day
That said it's out of control, yeah
Out of control, yeah
I've got a fever, it's infecting the blight
So savage it's killing the light
Affiliations sparked and out of control
Out of control
I've got a fever and I give it to you
May god now watch your soul
I've got a cleaver and it's out of control
Out of control
So, what's keeping you at bay?
Away from disarray
When your life breaks away
A shard a day
That said it's out of control yeah
Out of control, yeah
I've got a lot of things to say
About the life you promised me
And all the times you failed
I've got a lot things to say
About the way you traded me
I'm not the one to blame
They said it's out of control
They said it's out of control




They said it's out of control
Out of control
