|
When I'm down |
|
Really down |
|
Nothing matters |
|
Nothing does |
|
I close my eyes |
|
To go to sleep |
|
But I can't sleep |
|
I can't sleep |
|
Please hear my cry for help |
|
And save me from myself |
|
Junior high |
|
I lost my mind |
|
I don't know why |
|
It's a terrible thing |
|
Since that day |
|
It's been a struggle |
|
Trying to make sense |
|
Out of scrambled eggs |
|
Please hear my cry for help |
|
And save me from myself |
|
I painted a bar |
|
And I never got paid |
|
In a town where everyone was unemployed |
|
I was locked in |
|
On Easter day |
|
All I had to eat was a piece of bread |
|
When I got home |
|
My mother said |
|
"You're a lazy bum, |
|
and that's how come |
|
You suffer like that |
|
And you'll starve |
|
All your life |
|
All your life" |
|
Spoken just like it was a curse |
|
But it didn't really sound so bad |
|
I like to make things up |
|
It's the healthiest thing that I do |
|
But I'm tired |
|
From being kidnapped |
|
By a dark wolf that would do me in |
|
Please hear my cry for help |
|
And save me from myself |
|
I'm just saying how I feel |
|
Maybe you could try to understand |
|
I'm a man who needs you |
|
When I'm down |
|
Really down |
|
Nothing matters |
|
Nothing does |
|
I close my eyes |
|
To go to sleep |
|
But I can't sleep |
|
I can't sleep |
|
You can listen |
|
To these songs |
|
Have a good time |
|
And walk away |
|
But for me |
|
It's not that easy |
|
I have to live these songs forever |
|
Please hear my cry for help |
|
And save me from myself |
