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
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Got to pick up the phone
I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
I know I'm gone too far
Much too far I gone this time
And I don't want to think what I've done
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop
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
No self-control
no self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
You know I hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain
But I don't know how to stop
No, 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
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
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
This IS typical Peter Gabriel, I'll give you that -- but there is nothing typical about Peter Gabriel or that which he creates. This is but one of many songs that he has made that has helped me with my own things. One does not need to be anomic or hurtful to identify here, just be aware of your own inner beasts before they get the better of you. Enjoy the music for what it is, and either take or leave any impact of the message. And, having seen him perform solo numerous times and with Amnesty, he and all the other talents with him are simply the most amazing -- and I've seen a lot of shows (and produced a few, including one of PG's earlier cohorts from Genesis).
