Helium lyrics

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



Helium.
