Here you'll find me in between
Heaven and hell my dear where nothings what it seems
Its just as well up here I'm givin' you the creeps
And a farewell kiss to go into the unknown

Saw you standing there
Outside the music hall you come out for some air
Until your curtain call and everyone just stared
When you took the stage that night
Somethings not right

You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning but nobodies home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long

And they sing along
Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself

Here I'll find you in between
Heaven and hell again where nothings what it seems
It's just as well my friend
I'm givin' me the creeps
And a farewell to arms and legs and heads and heart

You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning but nobody's home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long

And they sing along
Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself
Take me from this hell

And they sing along
La la la la la la la la [x4]

You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning but nobodies home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long
And they sing along

Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself

Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me (la la la la la la la la)
Save me from myself
Take me from this hell
