Mayday, mayday do you read me?
I think I'm about to fall
The bottom is rising faster
Do you heed my call?

'cause I've been up here so damn long
in this mean old plain
and there's fever in my cabin, Lord
and I'm hangin' from the mane......
Let me down slowly when you're lettin' me down
I promise to be holy when you're letting me down
Oh! come on let me down
Mayday, mayday do you read me?
the breaks are all ceased up
I can hardly move,
my bones are all ceased up
'cause I've been up here so damn long
I can't remember why I came
And there's fever in my cabin bunk
And there's only me to blame, that's right
Let me down slowly when you're lettin' me down
I promise to be holy when you're letting me down
Oh! come on let me down
Mayday, mayday do you read me?
the breaks are all ceased up
I can hardly move,
my bones are all ceased up
'cause I've been up here so damn long
I can't remember why I came
And there's fever in my cabin bunk
And there's only me to blame, that's right
Let me down slowly when you're lettin' me down
I'll be you're one and lonely when you're lettin' me down
Oh! come on let me down
Down, dooown, dooowwwn, down
Mayday, mayday do you read me?
I think I'm cracking up
