Peek A Boo – Daniel Johnston – letras

When I’m down, really down,Nothin’ matters. Nothin’ does.I close my eyes, 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 struggleTrying 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,In a town where everyone was on foot.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 comeYou suffer like that and you’ll starveAll 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 tiredFrom being kidnappedBy a dark wolf that wouldDo 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 downNothin’ matters. Nothin’ 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.
