When you're down and out
you can look up from that
gutter they threw you in
and I'll be standing there
with a smirk on my face
and a hand outstretched.

So, spit and my feet and
claim you don't need my
help, when we both know
you do. Scramble around
in the mud like swine,
because we both know
that's exactly what you are.
And my hand's still outstretched.
