[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
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
But 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

[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
I got to pick up the phone
I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
I know I've gone too far
Much too far I gone this time
I don't want to think what I've done
'Cause I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop

[Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
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

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush]
No self control
No self control
No self control
No self control
No self control (No self control)
No self control (No self control)
No self control, no self (No, no)

[Interlude: Kate Bush]
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)

[Verse 3: Peter Gabriel]
You know I hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain
But I don't know how to stop
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

[Outro: Peter Gabriel]
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
Hey, I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
