Mischief & Control - Vonda Shepard

There is a fire within all of us

There is a river flowing in your soul

To put out the fire when it gets out of control

There is a stranger in all of us

That we try to get to know

There is a wise woman in theretoo

SheЂ™s trying to run the show

I can not escape the constant equipoise

In between the mischief and control

Swinging from the pendulum of desires

In between the mischief and control

There is a painter in all of us

She knows exactly which brush to choose

She knows exactly where to make a stroke

But thereЂ™s an army of voices

She might have to get through

There is a writer in all of usyeah

He knows what to say and he knows when itЂ™s done

But then thereЂ™s this twenty-foot blank page

You gotta filldarling

Or you think your life has no meaning

I can not escape the constant equipoise

In between the mischief and control

Swinging from the pendulum of desires

In between the mischief and control

Excuses piling up like junkyards

We never want to sort through

Efficiently we hide our needs

And all along a voice is calling out pleaseplease

Ђ™cause IЂ™m so hungry and IЂ™m so tired

I feel so lonelyI feel so wired

I need my angel… where is my angel
