I was out in the city, I was out in the rain
I was feeling downhearted, I was drinking
again
I was standing by the bridges where the dark
water flows
I was talking to a stranger about times long
ago
I was young, I was foolish
I was angry (and), I was vain
I was charming, I was (Feeling) lucky (out
there)
Tell me how have I changed
(Oh yeah)
Now I'm out, oh out
Of control (yeah) (oh yes)
Oh help me now, yeah
And the girls in the doorway and the boys on
the game
And the drunks and the homeless they all know
me
And the police on the corner give a nod and
a wave
And they point me to my final destination
In the hotel I'm excited by the smile on her
face
But I wondered how was time going to change
her, yeah
TrackTalk
Out of Control has that bass riff from Papa Was a Rolling Stone... (H)ey, if anybody can do that (joke), it's us (laughs). Mick played the harmonica solo on that one. He's getting better, man.
