I knew a guy who died, I don't know why but I wasn't surprised
I knew a guy who tried and tried, he just could not survive
Please, please lay a hand on me, please touch me
Please, please lay a hand on me, please touch me

I knew a girl who went strange, I just could not explain
And I knew a girl who ran away, without anything to say
So please, please lay a hand on me, please touch me
Please, please lay a hand on me, please touch me

I never been anywhere that I could not hear a train
I never been anywhere that I could not feel its pain
So please, please lay a hand on me, please touch me
Please, please lay a hand on me, please touch me
Please lay a hand on me, please, please, please
Please, please, please
