I was out in the city

I was out in the rain

I was feeling down hearted

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

I was vain

I was charming

I was lucky

Tell me how have I changed



Now I'm out

Oh out of control

Now I'm out

Oh out of control

Oh help me now



And the girls in the doorway

And the boys in the game

And the drunks and the homeless

They all know me



And the police on the corner

Give a nod and a wave

As they point me

To my final destination



I was young

I was foolish

I was angry

I was vain

I was charming

Feeling lucky

Tell me how have I changed



Now I'm out

Oh out of control

Now I'm out

Oh out of control

Oh help me now



In the hotel I'm excited

By the smile on her face

But I wondered

How was time

Gonna change her



I was young

I was foolish

I was angry

I was vain

I was charming

I was out there

Tell me how have I changed



Now I'm out

Oh out of control

Oh I'm out

Oh out of control
