Lyrics by The Residents Help us, help us, help us, Please would you make me helpless So that I could be looking for the sight of something that I cannot see I'd be floating in the ocean, floating in the sea Floating in a drifting wind, I wish that I could be floating in a liquid, nice and thick and warm Floating where there is no pleasure and there is no harm Life could be so pleasant, if we all could be Helpless, hopeless creatures just marching to the sea Would we be alive? Helpless, hopeless
