Can god help me?
Booklet, abandoned
(no one sees it, not even god)
In a trash heap on the sidewalk
Can god help me?
Little booklet,
Ripped and wet and tearing
(everyone has forgotten it, even god)
In a trash heap on the sidewalk
Can god help me?
Whispered prayers
(no one listens, not even god)
In a trash heap on the sidewalk
Can god help me?
empty brown eyes that
(no one looks in, not even god)
In a trash heap on the sidewalk
Can god help me?
Only you can now
(Because no one else will save you, not even god)
In that trash heap on the sidewalk
Can god help me?
You are god, so kiss your own lips
Walk backwards out of hell,
That trash heap on the sidewalk
