Peek A Boo
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 SongtexteIn 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
