HELPLESS

So I'm walking down the street just minding my business
All at once I'm everything and nothing at all
I'm lost and I'm right there for merely an instant
With a rusty alibi that's nothing at all
I'm helpless, I’m helpless, I’m hopeless
I’m helpless
I thought about it once, I thought about it twice
But I never ever listen to my advice
Should've kept my mouth shut, not said what I felt
Now I'm falling from grace like a comet from the sky
I'm helpless, I’m helpless, I’m hopeless
I'm helpless
And it sounds like this
There's thunder in the alley, lightning in the window
Kitchens on fire, ghosts are dancing around my door
There's thunder in the alley, lightning in the window
Kitchens on fire, ghosts are banging at my door
I'm helpless, I’m helpless, I’m hopeless
I'm helpless
I'm helpless, I’m helpless, I’m hopeless
I'm helpless
And it sounds something like this
