Help Me

 

Well I'm an actor, if you know what I mean,

Your benefactor, living between

All the places I've ever been

Wearing the faces that are hidden within

The child I used to be

Running wild but I wasn't free.

 

I say hey, Help Me.  Hey, Help Me.

 

You're in danger.  You can see through the eyes

Of the stranger who fell from the skies.

Innuendo, the slightest of sound,

Reaching crescendo and spinning around

In a room filled with criminal minds

You see your dreams killed leaving you blind.

 

I say hey, Help Me.  Hey, Help Me.

 

You go out dancing under the stars,

Romancing in those dark whiskey bars,

You're drifting through your fantasy world.

The curtain's lifting, you see the magical swirl

Of the demon who ripped out your heart

And left you screamin‘.  Now you’re falling apart.

 

You say hey, Help Me.  Hey, Help Me.

 

From the streetlights in the middle of town

You followed bright lights that led you way underground

Into the chambers of the goddess of night.

You called her name out but it didn't sound right

To hear the laughter echoing back

So soon after such a vicious attack.

 

You say hey, Help Me.  Hey, Help Me.

 

On the staircase you're passing yourself.

Wearing the new face that you took from the shelf

In the confusion when you started to run

From the illusion that you were holding the gun

Behind the steel bars where they left you to die

With all your real scars.  Now you're starting to cry.

 

You say hey, Help Me.  Hey, Help Me.

 

Well you’re an actor, if you know what I mean,

My benefactor, living between

All the places you've ever been

Wearing the faces that are hidden within

The child you used to be

Running wild but you can't free.

 

You say hey, Help Me.  Hey, Help Me.
