(Peter Gabriel)

From Peter Gabriel's album "3" a.k.a "Melt"(1980) (backing vocals)


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


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
