Helium

Music & Lyrics: John Forster

Cocaine Bill & Morphine Sue--
Get out the way. Here comes Helium Hugh.
Helium [inhale]...runnin' round my brain.

A ten buck bottle on the street
Gets you about a hundred fifty cubic feet
Of helium...running round my brain.

I'm all through with blow and boo,
Bourbon, cigarettes and airplane glue.
I no longer waste my breath
Crying "Give me Librium or Give me Meth."

Breathe it in/ Up ya go.
Nice and slow/ When you're done
And down ya come/ Cause helium
Is really um-believable stuff.

Float in space, your mind's a blank.
The only pressure is in the tank.
Nothing can upset this tranquil mood.

[Break: Kazoo on helium]

Father James says all the monks
Got helium hoses in their bunks.
"Et com spiritu tuo helium"

Crack is bad and smack is bad
And so is LSD.
And I vaguely recall that pot
Does...something bad to your memory.

So when I die, Oh please don't skinp.
Bury my body in the Goodyear blimp
I got to got to have that helium...runnin' round my brain.

Helium, helium, helium, helium helium helium helium... [Dogs bark]

Announcer: Kids, don't try this at home. There's no such thing as a safe drug. If you're at a party and your friends are doing balloons...just say no.
