Intro verse 1 Haul me up please help me I'm drowning Haul me up to where I can breathe Haul me up where the air is sweeter Stretch out a hand a hand brother please verse 2 Well I'm walking in a sea of molasses Every step I take it sucks me down The more I fight the more it grips me If I sink much further I'm looking to drown Haul me up I'm lost in confusion Haul me up I'm up to my knees Haul me up I'm stuck in the quicksand Stretch out a hand a hand brother please haul me up Repeat verse 1 verse 3 Here comes Jezebel sweet as the morning Holds out a cup and I'm tempted to drink Six thousand voices ringing in the rafters How can I dream when I can't even think Haul me up the banshees are wailing Haul me up the sirens are singing Haul me up the furies are screaming Stretch out a hand a hand brother please haul me up Repeat verse 1 verse 4 I'm fighting but oh the disease has got me But what is this sickness that has no name Who are these friends that kill me with kindness I don't know the rules but I'm trapped in the game Repeat Chorus 1 Repeat Chorus 2 This is a song that was requested.
