Peek A Boo

[Verse 1]

When I'm down, really down

Nothing matters, nothing does

I close my eyes, go to sleep

But I can't sleep, I can't sleep

[Chorus]

Please hear my cry for help

And save me from myself

[Break]

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Please hear my cry for help

And save me from myself

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Please hear my cry for help

And save me from myself

[Break]

[Bridge]

I'm just saying how I feel

Maybe you could try to understand

I'm a man who needs you

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

Please hear my cry for help

And save me from myself
