portugal. the man – tommy / helter skelter (live) lyrics
[part i: tommy]
[verse 1]
tommy was a preacher’s son
now he’s running through the jungle, oh, “yes sir, yes sir”
fingers cold and fire
when you get so tired (and we’re so tired)
[verse 2]
tommy was a preacher’s son
now he’s running through the streets selling up that cocaine
those fire eyes will get you (get you, get you, get you, get you)
when you get too tired (and we’re so tired)
eyes blister beaded fortress rolling fevered freight trains in
[verse 3]
august, fall of ’69 (jesus had birthed him)
he spoke in guns through crippled sheets (yeah, jesus had birthed him)
sugar cubes (fingernails)
worming snakes that built the fire (when you get so tired and we’re so tired)
[chorus]
well, i met three men with friends in office
smooth dark skin and ivory t++th smiles
our boots come alive in this mud, in this mud and this sh+t
well, i met three men with friends in office
smooth dark skin and ivory t++th smiles
our boots come alive in this mud, in this mud and this sh+t
[part ii: helter skelter]
[verse 1]
don’t you, don’t you want me to love you?
i’m coming down fast, but i’m miles above you
tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
you may be a lover, but you ain’t no dancer
[verse 2]
don’t you, don’t you want me to make you?
i’m coming down fast, but don’t let me break you
tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
you may be a lover, but you ain’t no dancer
[chorus]
it’s a helter skelter
it’s a helter skelter
it’s a helter skelter
it’s a helter skelter
oh, it’s a helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
[verse 3]
when i get to the bottom, i go back to the top of the slide
where i stop, and i turn, and i go for a ride
’til i get to the bottom, and i see you again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[chorus]
oh, it’s a helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
it’s a helter skelter
[verse 4]
don’t you, don’t you want me to make you?
i’m coming down fast, but don’t let me break you
tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
you may be a lover, but you ain’t no dancer
