John Collins - Helena lyrics

[Verse 1] Helena, the ramifications are very large tonight The stars say don't pick a fight or barge things around See, apparently our bloodlines are botched beyond redemption Luckily, you don't believe in redemption This may work in your favor, I'm told [Chorus] So throw the old furniture in the fire As the children go barbaric behind the wire They're just children [Verse 2] It's a drag the way your flag had to come down With one of the above Americas so ferociously in bloom But pistols at dawn can only work for so long Curved appetites took flight when you decided to call the song “A Pacific-Northwest b**h Gets Shown To Her Room” [Chorus] So throw the old furniture in the fire As the children go barbaric behind the wire They're just children And this one goes out, just like the one before To the 17th version of 'How I Won The War' Oh, first Destroyer! And, oh, now the Underground! [Verse 3] Helena, the ramifications are very large tonight The stars say don't pick a fight or barge things around [Outro] Just throw the old furniture in the fire As the children go barbaric behind the wire They're just children They're just children They're just children They're just children
