chorus:
helium its helium
Pray for my poor melancholy soul,
I've cried so many tears inside -
my head's a goldfish bowl.
A mood so depp - so far above you all,
With no one there to catch me if I fall.
This is your man in the street reporting,
and so far all we've got is that a regular guy is on a ledge up high -
he's had enough of an irregular lot.
And in World exclusive live tonight,
brought to you via satellite -
the last sane man heard frankly speaking
'but the 'ups and downs' of leaping.
He says...
Chorus:
I'm lighter than air - I haven't a care,
Still gravity pulls me under.
Credibility gaps - gullability fills -
They were bringing me down (no wonder).
Square pegs, round holes, last dregs, own goals -
Monkey puzzle my fist won't fit inside.
Ever day nothing new - black and white déja-vu,
Makes me feel I wann spread my wings and glide.
Should I look - should I leap from this unfairy story?
My life and my filofax flashing before me.
Fly like a rock from the roof to the basement,
The last thing to go through my mind is the pavement!
(Falling out of love with life).
Here's the latest newsflash update
on the Wall Street situation,
seems he wants to have his song played live upon our T.V. station.
It's a lyric he just wrote -
the bleatings of a social scapegoat,
Thirty years under the weather - at the end of a short tether.
It goes...
Chorus:
I'm lighter than air - I haven't a care,
Still gravity pulls me under.
Credibility gaps - gullability fills -
They were bringing me down (no wonder).
Square pegs, round holes, last dregs, own goals -
Monkey puzzle my fist won't fit inside.
Ever day nothing new - black and white déja-vu,
Fuel emotions, killing me
Pure devotion, cut and bleed
You're the crystal, the ecstasy,
The drug that keeps feeding me.
So come on
Torn together we sow the seed,
Bring the pleasure back for free,
The world is frozen but
I can taste new life every time i breathe.
So come on, get in,
Take a ride, till you sink,
Come on, get in,
Lets feel a new high kicking in
Change the system, break the shape
New connection hands to make,
Find the honey and learn to taste again,
So come on
Burn forever, learn to feed,
Find the pleasure it's yours to keep
The world is frozen,
But I can taste new life every time I breathe
Come together, feel the heat,
Suck the life left right out of me,
The world is frozen,
But I can taste new life every time I breathe,
Every step I take,
Here I am waiting, taking every chance I'm given
Feeling more and more alive with every note I'm singing
I do all I do until I can't go on
I put all I do into the sun
So when the day comes that I don't wake up
I'll float away, full of love, like helium
From heaven I won't worry
'Cause I left behind one hell of a story
Float away, full of love, like helium
From heaven I won't worry
'Cause I left behind one hell of a story
When I walk I walk until my shoes are torn and tattered
For my love I'll fight until my body's bruised and
battered
That's all that matters
I do all I do until I can't go on
I put all I do into the sun
So when the day comes that I don't wake up
I'll float away, full of love, like helium
From heaven I won't worry
'Cause I left behind one hell of a story
Float away, full of love, like helium
From heaven I won't worry
'Cause I left behind one hell of a story
Open your eyes and soak it up
This life ain't long enough
So love all that you can
I'm rising up, I'm rising up
So when the day comes that I don't wake up
I'll float away, full of love, like helium
From heaven I won't worry
'Cause I left behind one hell of a story
Float away, full of love, like helium
From heaven I won't worry
'Cause I left behind one hell of a story
Why should he be without a princess?
He tuned to me, he turned to me in helium, helium.
We were so bright, we had no shadows.
We were so light, above the flowers; yellow and white.
He turned to me in helium, helium.
Why should he be without a princess?
It's not for free
but I'll take your love
if your love will pay me
I see your wallet in your pocket
You know I carry my heart around my neck
like a locket so I can take it off
Now I feel good, I feel like candy
Go out on the street, I'm gonna make some money
That was just a joke about the money
you're gonna pay me with your life
Out on the corner
Like a fallen Maraschino cherry
I know you're scared to eat me
You got a candy red sports car
My heart is not a sports car
My heart is cab
Your love is a fad
And you're a drag
And now I feel good, I feel like candy
go out on the street I wanna make some money
That was just a joke about the money
you're gonna pay me with your life
You wanna have me
You watch me like TV
You wanna hold me
Collect me like rubies
Talk about me like a movie
You're so dirty
And now I feel good, I feel like candy
I'll get in your car, I wanna make some money
That was just a joke about the money
A glass eye I use to spy.
have Little tiny teeth that tell a golden lie.
My feet are small, I'm not that tall.
I'll tell you the truth, but really not at all.
I'm small like a superball, throw me at the wall
I'm fragile like an eggshell, I'm mad as hell.
My teeth are gold, I'm not that old.
I would tell you the truth, but I'm not that bold.
Hook me with your hand, my mouth is full of sand.
Everything I say ends with and.
I'm small like a superball, throw me at the wall
Did I tell you I've got tiny little fingers
I've got bones where the ring goes
They go like a plant grows
They go slowly
They go over your new clothes
They go over your money
They go over your head, man
The only good man is a dead man
I like pretty baby candy
It goes right to my head
It makes my lips as red as rubbies
I'll eat it till im dead
Did I tell you that you can't get to heaven
In high-heeled shoes?
You're such a loose little belle
You're a fallen angel
You go down into the big pit
It is deeper than a tar pit
Your lips are redder than lucifer
Your hair is up in curlers
I like pretty baby candy
'Cause It goes right to my head
It makes my lips as red as rubbies
I am the earth.
It’s not something that I know,
I am the dirt.
When to stay in and when to go,
I had my own birth,
when to freeze and when to grow,
And I am your curse.
it's not something that I know.
You came out of the sky like a feather from an angel, I
was rubbing my eyes.
I know I'm not so wise or half as able as your angel
size.
Love is light like a lead dove (fly lightly).
Love that fits like a wet glove (fly all night).
It feels like a slide show
it's not something that I know,
It's more like a freak show
when to stay in and when to go,
What makes the world go?
when to freeze and when to grow,
What do I know?
it's not something that I know.
You came out of the sky like a feather from an angel, I
was rubbing my eyes.
I know I'm not so wise or half as able as your angel
size.
Love as light like a lead dove (fly lightly).
"Creepy and sullen and running out of room
In my little tomb, my little tomb
I'll plant a seed there to remember you
at the may fair with your long ass curly hair
We had a pirate band, a tear for every grain of sand
and i was fighting with my hands. Oooooo
This came up wilted and looks like you
cause it never grew, it never grew
This one is scrawny, it looks like me
cause it's dirty and i'm so dirty too
We had a pirate band, a tear for every grain of sand
and i was fighting with my hands... OVER YOU
beautiful thing, you are the most beautiful thing
flower of life, bird of spring, you are the most beautiful thing
Locus flower -- grow out of bounds
Locus flower -- grouw out of (the under) ground
Some say its like a beautiful flower
some say it is a terrible power
I'll meet you at the end of the hour
I want to use, i want to use that power
FEED ME, feed me, feed me
you are the most beautiful thing
you are the most beautiful thing
flower of life, bird of spring
I'll be your TV.
I'll be your movie.
I want you to watch me.
Come on, it's easy.
If you make me then I'll make you
but if you take me then I'll take you
I'll be your candy
and you can suck me.
Or leave me in the wrapper sticky,
I said I'll be your candy.
If you fight me then I'll fight you,
but if you like me then I'll like you.
I wanna be your TV;
I wanna be in the movies.
And you can call me your floozie,
I'm your doozie.
But it's a nix.
I need a fix.
Break me like sticks
I think I'm going to be sick.
And it might melt just like snow
then you should stop and let me know
let me know
And if you think I'm bad if you think I'm low
remember I'm the hooker who told you so
told you so…
And I'm going to tell you like you've never been told
That girl knows where she doesn't go
In the river with the rest of the bones,
Under the water under the stones,
Away from the parties and the telephones.
Until I'm gone, until I'm dead,
I'll be making a wish on this empty head.
Maybe I should just go to bed,
Or try to pray or something instead.
That girl knows where she doesn't belong,
Under the ground where the days are long,
Under the round earth's revolution song,
Looking up through the dirt at right and wrong.
Until I'm gone, until I'm dead,
I'll be making a wish on this empty head.
Maybe I should just go to bed,
Or try to pray or something instead.
I want everything you do,
Don't tell me
You don't think that it's true.
I can do anything you can do,
Don't tell me
You think that I'm rude.
Cause I do anything you do
Don't tell me that I'm rude.
I want everything you do,
Don't tell me you think that I'm rude.
That girl knows where she wants to go,
Out on the river in a little life boat,
Out on the castle's muddy moat,
And through the walls with the rest of the ghosts.
Until I'm gone, until I'm dead,
I'll be making a wish on this empty head.
Maybe I should just go to bed.
Or try to pray or something instead.
I want everything you do,
Don't tell me you don't think that it's true .
I can do anything you can do,
Don't tell me you think that I'm rude.
Cause I do anything you do
Don't tell me that I'm rude.
I want everything you do,
Don't tell me you think that I'm rude
I can do anything you can do
Don't tell me you don't think that it's true
Cause I do anything you do
Do you think you'll die when this river runs dry?
Took all of my friends and said goodbye.
Now you run with the wind, you sleep on high,
between outer space and the sky.
Did you ever think that it would end,
when I found out how you got messed up with all my
friends?
Did you think that I would tell a lie
and swim across the ocean in your eye?
Over the trees and the Mayfair,
with a hundred birds flying in your hair,
and you were in the back yard getting high
and I really don't care, and I don't know why.
In this never ending summer of disease,
when we fell asleep and died beneath the trees,
did you ever think that I would lie?
I can see the motion in your eye.
Sitting on a pinstripe, glowing like the ocean,
darling I can't tell a lie
the queenie moves behind you, keeping right at your
side,
we could dance 'til we die
with you…
'Cause we are sitting on a pinstripe, glowing like the
ocean
Darling I would never lie
The queenie moves behind you, bless yourself in motion,
I can't see this blowing by
Black angel, you’re my centerfold
Though you’re two years old, your love is so bold
My heart is so cold
My heart is so cold
Come and get me, we’ll fly
On your wings through the thunderstorm sky
Kiss me, oh my
Little kiss of death and things that die
The wings of a dragonfly
The kiss of a butterfly
Sing alleluia on high
Sing alleluia on high
Come and get me we’ll fly
On your wings through the thunderstorm sky
Kiss me, ah
Little kiss of death and things that die
The kiss of a rattlesnake
The body of a black lake
Sing a lullaby to wake me
A lullaby to wake me
Come and get me we’ll fly
On your wings through the thunderstorm sky
Kiss me, oh my
I've got these magic things under my bed,
I swear I've got these magic things, they're under my
bed!
I've got some trees, a river and an old man's head
under my bed.
Someone said it was something he said, now he's dead.
Check it out it's a miracle! [Hey-ey]
Hey, yeah, it's my vehicle! [Yeah]
On second thought nevermind, I'll have to show you some
other time.
It's just that I don't really feel like it, next time
yr here, then
I'll have to show you it.
I've got this magic box in the backseat of my car,
I'll show you all the magic in it, it's out in my yard.
-In the backseat of my car.
On second thought nevermind, I'll have to show you some
other time.
It's just that I don't really feel like it, next time
yr here, then
I'll have to show you it.
Someone left it on in the rain and it got pretty wet.
We'll have to wait until it dries we can't use it yet.
It's all too old now, we can't use it anymore.
It's put away and it's cracked down to the core.
On second thought never mind, I'll have to show you
some other time.
It's just that I don't really feel like it, next time
yr here, then
I'll have to show you it.
Hush now, do not cry
A crystal teardrop from your eye
The men would have to die
To stop this lullaby
And when the song is done
The dead of night will have just begun
A thousand birds will fly down
And plant your teardrops under the ground
Do you hear the planets sing?
We will fly on a moth's wing
Up to where there is no sound
Leon, sing me your space song, I don't care if you do.
Shoot me into the 23rd century with you.
All my friends in L.A. love me more than you
Love lasts a very long day, and then is through.
I got a funny feeling about you.
Maybe it was all of those nasty things you made me do.
Like sitting and watching you break through the other
side
Lady, queen of fire, come on, be my girl, oh… yeah
Why I can't let you be is a mystery
to me
I can't believe what you just said
Over my body when you know that I'm dead
I was born underground, I had two horns
And I'm gonna make love to the unicorn
Come on, boy
Baby, I'm gonna watch you roll, I'm outta control, oh…
It's this electricity, won't let me be
Electric hearts may cause a fire,
I can't be messin' with the "human desire"
'Cause I found a star on its final course
Above a rider, on a big white horse
And she knows
you never ask her to come over
But she doesn't care.
And she combs her hair
over and over in the mirror.
And she spits and swears
until she can't swear anymore.
And she doesn't care
when you call her a whore.
You better watch out for her,
She'll eat you up and she'll spit out the burrs,
She'll talk about you to all of the girls,
But you wait for her.
Cause she's sweeter than a honeycomb
And that's why you stay at home.
And she's slower than a valium
And that's why you stay at home.
And she goes
so that you can hardly see her
It's so slow.
And I know she's low
and dirty but she told you so.
Lady of luck
she's a roll of the dice,
and it feels so right
and so does your price.
You'll see, she'll put a spell on you,
She did it to me, and changed my point of view,
She'll tie you up so that
you can't move,
But you wait for it.
Cause she's sweeter than a honeycomb
And that's why you stay at home.
And she's slower than a valium
You are a creature of the dark,
come on hit me on my mark.
This X marks my heart,
on the mark.
Bad luck and worse weather,
Hyacinth and Heather,
Of Lace and Leather.
I'm moving on, I'm getting out of here.
The devil cries without a tear.
I'm moving out of here
with a bag of Devils tears.
When the Devil cries,
it's a pack of lies.
A heart of gold, a heart of tacks,
you love me baby, that's a fact
in your
big black Cadillac.
I'm moving upwards through the atmosphere
the devil cries without a tear
St. Christopher, help them please.
I saw them floating on the little breeze.
Their hearts were tiny and their eyes were black
when I heard the whole world crack.
Born in the time of the awful power,
out of the ground like little flowers,
I saw them listen to the radio,
and I can still hear it go
when the sun comes up under the ground
love is shining all around
down by the river the Dragons play
digging for the light of day.
I don't care if it takes too long,
I really don't care about this song,
I'll be outside with the other freaks
where the cosmic rays are weak.
I can't see you on this awful day,
I can't see you when anyway,
radio waves are in the way,
it's the dawn of the cosmic day
when the sun comes up in your mind
say good bye to all of your kind
down by the river the dragons die
Baby I feel good, do you feel bad, now that you're mine?
Baby I feel good, do you feel bad, Clementine?
It's the season of the witch and the drinking of wine,
the season of the Bitch, bionic in crime
shed a tear for our daughter, Clementine
floating in the ocean, drowning in the brine.
Deep in the rainy streets, the rainy streets,
of your mind,
if you move faster, can you look back there and see
her outline?
Trapped in the tower on the top of the hill
or hear the crushing of her bones in the miller's mill
or trapped in her bottle of tiny blue pills
Baby, I saw they kicked you down
Now you’re the only dirty trick in town
The stars are bright under your nightgown
A star is bright, a star is round
Maybe someday we’ll get back, get back
The rock life and the heart attack…
Baby likes it when it hurts like that,
A millions days after the, after the fact.
Baby is going underground
With the whip and trix you found
The moon is bright when you’re bound
The moon is bright, the moon is round.
And maybe some day we’ll get back, get back
The rock life and the heart attack…
Baby likes it when it hurts like that
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or if it's right,
you won't remember after I bite.
You've got blood, baby friend of mine,
you've got blood and tastes like lye.
I've got a baby vampire in me,
nobody knows...
I saw you put it in me like a seed
that was as big as a stone.
And all I can do is watch it grow
and it comes and it goes…
and it's turning me into someone I don't know.
You've got a skull, baby, you've got a spine.
After I'm done with you I'll spit them out like rinds.
I got a baby vampire in me,
it just might eat me before it eats you.
I saw you put it in me like a seed.
Then it grew.
It feels funny but I want you to see
that's good for you isn't always good for me.
And I'm gonna kill it, or hide underground,
it's after me like a hound.
Baby… so beautiful.
Little baby, I feel clean,
There's still life after the machine.
Little baby, I feel fresh,
aging children say, give your life away.
It's truthful I talk, I don't play
I live for today,
It's useful. In an ancient time
for a magic crime
she rode the sun up to the sky
"How'd we get so high?"
Aren't I soft enough for you?
I was getting off just being rude.
And if there's some kind of party, won't you call me to
I'll be on top of the mountain that's covered in snow
Come on, feel my pain does it fall like rain
inside a plastic skeleton,
where we play our game?
The ball shoots up and then falls down,
and cannot be found,
while the world is deep in space
revolving round.
From the way that you said it I could tell that you
lied,
and in the month of September, I heard we died
and when they opened their mouths they were all black
inside
Heaven can wait as you should know by now.
But you really don't care and that's OK too somehow.
Every time I ask you what you want to be
You say a hooker or something really dirty.
Don't feel guilty
I am that dirty too.
Do you think you'll have time to change yourself later?
Pay your dues to the devil and your payment to the maker.
Every time I ask you what you want to do
You say make money or something really rude.
Don't fear the reaper
I count the stars almost every day,
the aging astronauts have floated away.
I watch the future from the edge of a knife,
the same stars that killed you will bring you life.
Will you go on without your friends?
There's a time for everything except the end.
The same future hasn't got the same past.
You've seen the good times, baby can you make them last?
I ride a plane almost every day;
I've seen the freaks lost in the Milky Way.
Will we go on until the end?
See the star shine in the distance
see the ending of the day
You shine only in the distance
Love is metallic, a golden ray
I know I shouldn't be this way
Love is metallic, "now fade away"
See the sky turn purple 'round the
edges of the final night
The golden rider with his sages
is coming to us, say "all right!"
I was born of the Devil's victory
"Trixie says shes blown away by what she sees
there's a heaven, there's a heaven on the TV
There's a movie star for you and one for me
Someday it'd be so right, so right to be
(Cruising and shooting and fucking like some kind of movie)
Little star of the heavens, tiny star above
Shiny, shiny light, tell me if i've got the love
pick me up on your silver studded dove
we could watch down on us from above
(to see how ugly and dirty and lost we were, this is so rough)
Vita, Vita Nuova, cause it feels so right
star of your birth, baby the brand new life
and the universe will move for you
that stupid curse fell through
Vibrations every day, in the dark you feel o.k.
Do you see the outline in the sky?
You think the planets will collide?
Pretty baby, watch the cold wind blow,
you had a heart made out of snow,
that lived as long as the fly was alive,
One, two, three, four, five.
How'd they fit you in the dark disguise,
the neck-lace of thirty eyes?
Tell me why the sky is full of birds,
what is coming - have you heard?
I saw you turn into a butterfly
whose heart was smaller than a star in the sky
that disappeared when it started to snow
I thought I told you, it's time for me to go.
Will we live beyond the farthest wave?
The water is the darkest grave.
Can you see beyond the farthest sun,
to the prophets as they wait in line?
Sail under Scorpio in the sky,
I'll watch for you with my eye
but if the stars are something you can't find,
And for these things I will pray
But I should touch you kept
all feel away
Rid me of this dirty mind today
It's just for these small things that I pray
That's why I'm gonna walk away,
I wanna walk away, baby
There will come a day…
When we can walk away
Ch-child…
Walk away, into the outer space,
Into the atmosphere, 'til we cannot hear
'Til we lose our faith,
and cannot see
You are the child of the dark, I am a child of day
But call me anything, and I will obey
And all the freaks will kneel down and pray
Saying He will only save one of us today
Come on, we're gonna walk away,
walk away, baby
There will come a day…
When we will walk away
I saw you, child ch-child…
If we push
Boy, watch this from the trees
It's in the darkness
Yeah… everything you see
Ch-child…
of the earth,
and I am of the sea
And that's the difference between
It is magnificent
It is (this) party
It is (this) business
And it isn't
You set me up; I'm leveled now
And my shoes are worn and cracked from the wide, hard ground
"Put back the pieces and pull yourself together, man
We've got so much further to go"
(Son, you won't make it)
They can find him in broken spirits on a broken bed,
dreaming of lead,
in the basement of a house where dreams go to die
The grass outside my tiny window shows evidence of prying eyes,
and I still don't care how bad they want you...
"Save his soul. Sort his goals."
Kneeling by the bedside light each night
While I lie in the next room,
praying, "Please get me out of here alive."
"Oh, you're so morose...
And when you fail, I need to know."
"We lock the doors at night, for fear that we are in your sights."
throw me 'round in circles as i run into i crash
into i only want to run if i'm crashing into you as i reach to
the sky and on today it's much too high
though the seasons change souls rearrange
and i don't want to push you away
wait for me wait for me 'cause i need you inside my soul
wait for me wait for me 'cause i want you burning inside my veins
invade my space any time of day you tear down my walls
but that's ok i'm not sure where we're going 'cause you're a mystery
to me if time is on our side then i'll decide to wait for you
i can't speak the words but there's no words to say
'cause i don't want to push you away
throw me 'round in circles as i run into crash
into i only want to run if i'm crashing into you
through broken dreams and memories you burn away all the tragedies
you can't drag me away from what's meant to be
When love's young dream has let you down
All you want is escape
But you're all
Talk, talk - let your tongue masturbate
Talk, talk - who controls their own fate?
Talk, talk - 'til the words run down your face and into
mine
"Things just went wrong too many times"
Lies are not freedom
We're lighter than air
We talk without sound
We think without thought
Our feet don't touch the ground
And we don't wish on stars
We shoot them down, yes
When we inhale
When we inhale
We are hilarious
Helium
Tonight's the night for us to prove absolutely nothing
Time and again and again
'Cause we're all
Talk, talk - words alone cannot win
Talk, talk - and the lies might sink in
Talk, talk - it could almost mean something
But it's just words
In the half-light between binge and purge
We are senseless forever
We're lighter than air...
You call this "home", but it stinks
It stinks
Well, maybe home is where the heart is
But if I cared about my heart then I'd quit smoking
If I cared about my heart then I'd quit puking
Let's burn this town to the ground
We're lighter than air...
We're on the run from something we cannot leave behind
And we run 'cause we're too scared and too cheap to fly
We don't face our problems, we just complicate them
When we inhale
When we inhale
It's desperation
Climbing the mountain, feeling the wind upon my face
Watching people , down there, little ants
Running their endless, endless race
That I dont want to enter
Competition never nourished my soul
And I'm through with pretending that
I'm not a square peg in a round hole
How I yearned to be me
Think I just learned to be me(repeat)
Seems like I'm filled with helium and now
I am a big balloon
Untethered and soaring
Onto the planets and their vivid moons
No weight on my shoulders
My spine as light as light as thistle down
I'll go where I want to yet
I'm not tied down to that greedy ground
