"Helium: The Dirt Of Luck" HELIUM: "THE DIRT OF LUCK"




1) PAT'S TRICK
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. oooooooooo

This one is wilted and looks like you
cause it never grew, it never grew.
This one is scrawny and 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.

- - Locusflower - - grow out of bounds
- - Locusflower - - grow out of (the under) ground

Some say it's like a beautiful flower,
some say it is a terrible power,
I'll meet you at the ending hour,
I wanna use, I wanna use that power.
F E E D M E, f e e d m e, f e e d m e,
you are the most b e a u t i f u l thing,
you are the m o s t BEAUTIFUL thing,
flower of life, bird of spring,
you are the most beautiful t h i n g.


2) TRIXIE'S STAR
Trixie says she's 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...
WHILE WE WERE WONDERING WHAT THE HELL WE WERE GONNA DO.


3) SILVER ANGEL
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 AS 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).
LOVE THAT FITS LIKE A WET GLOVE (fly all night).


4) BABY'S GOING UNDERGROUND
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.
Rock life and the heart attack...
Baby likes it when it hurts like that,
A million days after the after the fact.

Baby is going underground
With the whip and the trix you found.
The moon is bright when you're bound,
The moon is bright, the moon is round.

Maybe someday we'll GET BACK, GET BACK,
Rock life and the heart attack...
Baby likes it when it hurts like that,
A million days after the fact. u n d e r g r o u n d u
n d e r g r o u n d u n d e r g r o u n d u


5) MEDUSA
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 f l y
on your w i n g s, through the thunderstorm sky.
kiss me, OHMY
LITTLE KISS OF DEATH AND THINGS THAT DIE.

The wings of a dragonfly,
The kiss of a butterfly,
Sing alleluia on high,
alleluia on high.

Come and get me we'll f l y
on your w i n g s, through the thunderstorm sky.
kisssss me, oh my
LITTLE KISS OF DEATH AND THINGS THAT DIE.

The hiss 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 f l y
on your WINGS, through the t h u n d e r storm sky.
kiss me, this my
LITTLE KISS OF DEATH AND THINGS THAT DIE.


6) COMET #9


7) SKELETON
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 's a dead man.

I like pretty baby candy, it goes right to my head.
It makes my lips as red as rubies, I'll eat it 'til I'm dead.

Did I tell you that you can't get to heaven in high heeled shoes.
You're such a loose little belle, a fallen angel.
You go down into the big pit, it is deeper than a tar pit,
Your lips are red as Lucifer, your hair is up in curlers.

I like pretty baby candy, it goes right to my head.
It makes my lips as red as rubies, I'll eat it 'til I'm dead.


8) SUPERBALL
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 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
I'm fragile like an eggshell, I'm MAD as hell.


9) ALL THE X'S HAVE WINGS
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 have been down deeper too.


10) OH THE WIND AND THE RAIN
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
I DO ANYTHING YOU DO
DON'T TELL ME THAT I'M RUDE
DON'T TELL ME THAT I'M RUDE


11) HONEYCOMB
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.
Oh-oh.
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
And that's why you stay at home.


12) FLOWER OF THE APOCALYPSE
{From the "Agnus Dei" of the Catholic Mass }
Agnus Dei, qui tollis,
Miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis,
Dona nobis pacem.
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis,
Miserere nobis.

{Translated:
Lamb of God, who takes away,
Have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, who takes away,
Grant us peace.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Lamb of God, who takes away,
Have mercy on us. }
