I took a stairway
Straight to the top
I kept on climbing
I never stopped to smell a rose
But that's just the way it goes 

I made a dollar
I tasted blood
I needed water
I found a flood oh my

And I almost drank enough to die

Took my John boat out to sea and the waves grew high 

SOS now
Can you help me
I'm taking water on just about as fast as I can
Could you lend me your hand

SOS how
Can you help me
I ask myself 
How could anybody else understand
This wasn't part of my plan
I do the best that I can
Mayday man

Thought it was easy
I'd seen it done
Thought it would please me
To make it to the other side
But I wasn't ready for the ride

I felt the thunder 
Rip through my sail 
It took me under
Got swallowed by a whale oh my 

I guess he saw that weakness it my eye 
Took me right on out to sea and the waves grew high 

SOS now
Can you help me
I'm taking water on just about as fast as I can
Could you lend me your hand

SOS how
Can you help me
I ask myself 
How could anybody else understand
This wasn't part of my plan
I do the best that I can
Mayday man
