Coco, believe me
I'm a lonesome man
I wanna get stoned and trip some wires
I wanna get myself underground
I said that, you must believe me

By the look upon ya face
Standing with all the whores and cannibals
In the censored race
But I got these voices that just keep singing out
[Chorus]
Saying, "I just can't stop losing control"
I said that I just can't stop losing control
I just can't stop losing control
I said that I just can't stop losing control
[Verse 3]

When I say I'm fighting the dead
Lying low across the evening
Can you see the lumps on my head?
I guess that you never been here
By the look upon ya face
Standing with all the whores and cannibals
In the censored race
Well, I got these voice that just keep singing out
[Chorus]
Saying, "I just can't stop losing control"
I said that I just can't stop losing control
I just can't stop losing control
I said that I just can't stop losing control
[Outro]
Well, I got these voices
