Mother, father, I beg for your aid - just look at the mess I have made
Even the shadiest stylists in LA - has decided to turn me away
Day in, day out, I feel out of place
Unable to meet people's gaze
Scared of turning another poor schmuck - into a lump of blackened, dead rock
At the moment, even Poseidon I miss - with his stale, unaffectionate kiss
