lyrics

HELICOPTER

VERSE 1
HELICOPTER’S GOING TO LIFT YOU OUT
TAKE YOU FAR AWAY FROM TROUBLE, DISAPPEAR
YOU’VE GOT YOUR FEET STUCK
AND YOU’RE LOSING IT FAST, IT’S CLEAR
CHORUS
GRAB HOLD OF ME, DRAW ME NEAR
I WILL NEVER DROP YOU, DON’T FEAR
TOGETHER WE WILL PASS THROUGH THIS TIME
LOOK UP HELICOPTER’S RIGHT ON TIME
MID 8
WITH THE SWEATS AND THE CRAMP
AND THE DARK AND THE HOLLOW ECHOING,
THE BLAME AND THE HATE AND THE ANGER
AND THE KNIFE SLOWLY TURNING IN,
GOT TO MOVE PRETTY QUICK WHEN YOUR DEVILS
ARE ON YOUR BACK,
THE LIGHT’S AT THE TOP OF THE TOWER
BUT YOUR UNDER ATTACK
CHORUS
QUIET MID 8
MESS IT UP WITH WORDS, CAN’T TALK AT ALL,
HERE THEN GONE, OUT OF FOCUS, COLLAPSE AND FALL,
SENSES VANISH MELTING INTO THIN AIR,
AS WE REACH OUT OUR HANDS TO SAVE US
REACH OUT OUR HANDS TO SAVE US
VERSE 1
CHORUS
