How May I Help You?

This is a story about a little man named Rod Who did not have a mind of his own Just went along with his pathetic lonely life Even when he went to school, the teacher said "jump!" And he jumped and he jumped and he jumped He fell on the floor Never let his feelings out, didn't have any friends Once he left school he hoped this would all change now But it was not to be The world for him to see mercy, oh, mercy! Aaaaurgh! He had to get a job Wanted to go somewhere to relax for a while He went to work on a boat as a cabin boy... "Get on you knees and scrub the decks, I want to see you sweating Make sure you're in my quarters around half past ten this evening" He didn't like this one bit He's got to get another job! So he jumped off the boat and swam to the shore To work on the beach in a bar He met a chick working there just like him Not too pretty, not too pretty She was sad and lonely just like him They went to the cinema together and then Went back to his room, back to his room Made sweet loving to each others only friends (Only friends!) The night after he walked out of his room, heard a voice shout... " Boy! Go pick the dead rats outta the drain!" Eurgh... First day, but it's OK From then, talks to Rodney like shit all day But Rod, doesn't do anything, just keeps it in He thinks: "Fuck it, I'll put up with this shit I got a girl and a friend, I don't need nothing else" "How are you doing, my good man?" (As Rodney gazes at Miranda) "I see you got good taste. Miranda nice girl, very nice girl..." "What's that supposed to mean? You trying to say something, say it! Very friendly girl? Very friendly girl?! What's that supposed to mean?!" Where does he go from here? What's going on? "Miranda your girl?" "Yeah, what of it?" "She very good expressing her affection for her friends. She my girl, your girl, everybody's girl..." "So you're saying that you and all the other people that have come into this here bar have been with her? But no one's come in for days, apart from a couple of piss-heads..." "She had lovely tight cheeks!" "Not after I saw to her!" Rod was furious, Rod said to Miranda... "How could you do this to me?" "Well, once I was with you my whole life changed!" "So you got the confidence to disgrace yourself?" "No longer do I want to be a slave!" "What? What did you say?!" Asked Miranda would she say sorry... "You're weird, stay away from me!" Then he put some laxatives into their tea And he was on his own again!

Clinging on to any piece of mind That elevates me beyond those thoughts Start to focus, I'm flowing again Got it sussed now Flying high, check it out it's so sweet Suddenly I'm chillin on a white beach Then the sun disappears Lightening strikes the tree that falls on me Please sing along My life is just a page saying ALL GONE WRONG Suddenly I don't feel so strong Like a castle in the sand, then it gets washed over it's ALL THE SAME All collapses before my EYES Why am I here tolerating everything when it feels incomplete? With all that was meant to be Left looking for a chance to leave Don't think like that, fuck the way you're feeling Now you gotta concentrate on breathing Try to look up - think about what you got Listen to me - I wanna be alive Try to be strong Even though it may be so confused WHY BUT WHY Everything is going wrong I am fighting now With the desperation IN MY MIND A thousand thoughts are spinning round my mind Why can't I control my thoughts? See past them out into the light But everything stands against! Everything goes wrong all at once Try to think positive or the pain will flood Into your mind and under your skin Thought for today is not to give in Thought for today is not to give in Thought for today is not to give in Open your eyes or the pain will flood in Thought for today is not to give in Your real life, too! Your real life, is there more? Everything goes wrong all at once Try to think positive or the pain will flood Into your mind and under your skin Open your eyes to what you could be Thought for today is not to give in Open your eyes to what you could be Open your eyes or the pain will flood in This is your life! Your real life! Your real!
