(Poole/Martin/Poole)
Free-spirited young man
Why d'you have to grow
From a sparky little jewel
Into something so pointed and cold
Cold feet
I'm gonna do a runner
I couldn't breathe
Cos you had the power
And I feel sorry for you
Cos you don't bother me
And cos I'm in control now
I dare you to kill me
I've erased all your twisted ways
From my memory
And cos I'm in control now
I dare you, I dare you
You're gonna have to kill me
(Oo-ooh, Oo-ooh)
I could forgive you
But then I would say that, wouldn't I?
I wasn't jaded back then
And I still had a twinkle in my eye
Funny how it is with a hand around your neck
And a pounding in your chest
What thoughts you have
I haven't been to India yet
And I feel sorry for you
Cos you don't bother me
And cos I'm in control now
I dare you to kill me
I've erased all your twisted ways
From my memory
And cos I'm in control now
I dare you, I dare you
You're gonna have to
I haven't been to India yet
No, no
I haven't been to India yet
Free-spirited young man
Why d'you have to grow
From a sparky little jewel
Into something so pointed and cold
Cold feet
They took me on a runner
Now I can breathe
Cos I have the power
And I feel sorry for you
Cos you don't bother me
And cos I'm in control now
I dare you to kill me
I've erased all your twisted ways
From my memory
And cos I'm in control now
I dare you, I dare you
You're gonna have to kill me
