Stephen Malkmus - Black Book lyrics

I been feelin' very weak, I been turnin' pretty pale

First I'm fallin' to my knees, then I'm hangin' by my tail

Asked the doctor for some medicine

He said there's nothin' we can do

Preacher said it's gonna kill you son

Mama dropped the chicken soup

Chorus:

I'm gonna need a little help, help, help

While I'm getting' over you

I'm just a flicker of my self, self, self

Your hurt has cooled my fire into

If you could spare a little touch, touch, touch

I might survive a week or two

I'm gonna need a little help, help, help

While I'm getting' over you

Ever since you made me leave, can't remember wrong or right

When I'm up I wanna sleep, When I'm asleep I wanna fight

Dialled the number for emergency, sheriff said to tough it out

I called my psychic friend on channel three

And she confirmed without a doubt

Chorus

Bells are ringin' in my ears, wolf is howlin' in the yard

But the only thing I hear is the poundin' of my heart

I saw my picture in the evening news; I had a caption by my head

They polled the people for the public view

And nearly everybody said

Repeat chorus twice

I'm gonna need a little help, help, help

While I'm getting' over you

I'm gonna need a little help, help, help

I'm gonna need a little help, help, help
