*sigh* Anyone out there want to make a Cylon vid for me? Anyone?

Control
Don't you mess with a little girl's dream
'Cause she's liable to grow up mean
Surprise you to find that I'm laughin'
You thought that you'd find me in tears
You thought I'd be crawlin' the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear
Well you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops* and castles
All inside the palm of my hand
While you were lookin' the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were sellin' your soul
While you were tearin' a hole in me
I was takin' control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
This is beginnin' to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly you're scared to let through
You thought you could keep me from lovin'
Heh, you thought you could feed on my soul
But while you were busy destroyin' my life
What was half in me has become whole
While you were lookin' the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were the king of the house
'Cause I was miserable
While you were sellin' your soul
While you were tearin' a hole in me
I was takin' control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
So this is how it feels
To breathe in the summer air
To feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear
All those things you taught me to fear
I've got them in my garden now
And you're not welcome here
Come here
Come a little bit closer
I wanna look at you
I gave you the benefit of the doubt it's true
But keep in mind, my darling
Not every saint is a fool
(don't)
While you were lookin' the other way
(you mess)
While you had your eyes closed
(with me)
While you were the king of the house
'Cause I was miserable
(don't)
While you were sellin' your soul
(you mess)
While you were tearin' a hole in me
I was takin' control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control
Don't you mess with me
(spoken by a man)
This cannot be all there is to life, because, in our confrontation with an enormous and cold universe there's something comical to the idea that we can really enforce our will on humanity. Power corrupts. It's your world. Do with it what you want. No. That's not the way to do it.
*I swear she actually sings "baseships" here. :P
