Helter Skelter

Summertime has crystallized, ice blurring glass window panes

Tantalized, hypnotized, "you′re happy, you're happy" they say

Try hard as I may, think I′m losing my mind, I'm afraid

Nauseated isolation, the ballroom was flooded by crowds

And all their mesmerized, eagle eyes watched me collapse to the ground

Under all of the haze and the gaze, I just needed a place to lie down

So, I'm not leaving the house today

I′ve run out of words I can say now

Nowhere feels safe anymore

I′m calling in sick to the rest of this year

Nothing you see here is as it appears

I had hopes, but I don't think I can go on with the show

Foul play at the cabaret, our bodies were covered in chills

Helter skelter in gold decanters

Was melting the floor where it spilled

Let′s all raise a toast to the things we love most

Turning to smoke

So, I'm not leaving the house today

I′ve run out of words I can say now

Nowhere feels safe anymore

I'm calling in sick to the rest of this year

Nothing you see here is as it appears

I had hopes, but I don′t think I can go on with the show

And if I had the chance (I had the chance), I'd start over again

Back to where we began (where we began), I'd start over again

I′m not leaving the house today

I′m calling in sick to the rest of this year

Nothing you see here is as it appears

You can all go back home

Don't think I can go on with the show

And if I had the chance (I had the chance), I′d start over again

I'd forgive and forget (forgive and forget), and start over again
