* Minimalism: Simple, repetitive riff with a clean tone. * Arpeggios: Picking individual notes from chords, rather than strumming full chords. * Dynamics: Gradual build-up in intensity, from soft and haunting to louder and more powerful. * Surfy reverb: The guitar has a shimmering reverb, giving it an ethereal, ethereal feel. * Rockabilly and reggae influences, pushed snare hit, landing just ahead of beats 2 and 4 in 4/4 time. This creates a subtle syncopation reminiscent of a reggae one-drop rhythm [Intro] [Verse] Your heartbeat's a hammer Pounding through my veins My flesh is your puppet Dancing in chains [Verse] Your blood's in my system Like strings made of steel Not dead, not living Just yours to steal [Chorous] YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) Wrapped in your tendons Strung up in your veins YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! [Instrumental] [Verse] Twitch like a zombie When you crack your spine Can't stop these movements They're no longer mine [Verse] My bones are hollow Fill 'em up with you A walking void now But baby, I'm true [Chorous] YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) Wrapped in your tendons Strung up in your veins YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! [Instrumental] [Verse] Each breath you're breathing Pulls my strings tight My muscles spasm To your heart's delight [Verse] No will, no wanting Just your command A meat marionette In your hot hands [Bridge - slower, creepier] They say love's possession But baby, they don't know How deep your infection goes Through muscle, blood and bone Your body's got me dancing Like a corpse at midnight And I don't want the cure No, I don't want the cure... CAUSE... [Verse] Your touch is poison Running through my brain My nerves are wiring To a different frame [Verse] Can't fight this feeling Don't want to try Just keep controlling Till the day I die [Chorous] YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) Wrapped in your tendons Strung up in your veins YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! [Instrumental] [Verse] Your rigor mortis Is my favorite dance Locked in your movements In this dead romance [Verse] No need for freedom When I'm bound to you Just keep controlling Like dark angels do [Chorous] YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) Wrapped in your tendons Strung up in your veins YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! [Instrumental] [Chorous] YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! (Controls me!) Wrapped in your tendons Strung up in your veins YOUR BODY CONTROLS ME! [Instrumental] [Outro] [Maniacal laughter]
