I tried to run away but I was frozen in place

My body was mad of sawdust and my heart just
split

My old friend rigor mortis started to breathe in
my face

The air started to drain out of my spirit

Help me, can you help me?

A century of my tears wouldn't even fill a
thimble

The war of the class clown is never won

But nothing makes me laugh anymore

And nothing makes me craw

And nothing makes me feel like I belong

Help me, can you help me?

I can't believe all the stupid things I'm saying
now

Either I've shaken the world off my back

or else I've gone senile

I thought your love was just a great big lie

Now love you is the only thing that's gonna get
me by

Help me, can you help me?

All I have to offer you is archaeology and
Christmas

And we'll turn our backs on what the world has in
store

And twist the light so that it shines down on us

And wait together for the touch of something more


Help me, can you help me?
