Save Me (Live at Peppermint Lounge, New York, NY, July 18, 1982)

I'll be someone in the morning, I don't want to be And the things that were so easy are getting hard for me I lived with things when I was younger I can't swallow now I'll lose everything I worked for If I don't fight it somehow Baby can you help me Before I lose sight of who I am I'm getting tired of depending on intangibles Take the gun out of my hand Baby save me I wanna reach right out and touch you But I don't know how I've got to know if you are with me Or against me now And if you ask too many questions, you've got no chance They'll keep you going round in circles You've got to stop this dance I'd get down on my knees girl But it's too late for me to learn how to pray Can you look into my eyes and understand The words that I cannot say Baby save me Come here baby don't cry, we need all our strength to get well Who's gonna save the children when we can't help ourselves Nobody's picking up the fallen flag Nobody seems to know it never went down It's getting harder and harder to find the things you need It's getting harder and harder to find someone who believes Who can see girl, who can still feel baby, don't let it ever be me It gets so quiet in the morning I don't wanna be You've got to have some faith in someone but they lied to me You make more money baby by lying down But I ain't lying down for no one They're cannibals and clowns As the things we want come closer I feel the things we need slipping away Don't ever let me forget girl What it took to get here today
