Helter Skelter

Summertime has crystalized ice blur and glass windowpanes
Tantalize, hypnotize, you're happy, you're happy that he's safe
Try hard as I may, think I'm losing my mind, I'm afraid
Nauseated, isolation, the ballroom was flooded by crowds
And all their mesmerized, eagle eyes watched me collapse to the ground
Under all of the haze and their gaze, I just needed a place to lie down

So, I'm not leaving the house today
I've run out of words I can say
Now nowhere feels safe anymore
I'm calling in sick to the rest of this year
Nothing you see here is as it appears
I had hopes, but I don't
Think I can go on with the show

Foul play at the cabaret, our bodies were covered in chills
Helter skelter in gold decanters
Was melting the floor where it spilled
Let's all raise a toast
To the things we love most
Turning to smoke

So, I'm not leaving the house today
I've run out of words I can say
Now nowhere feels safe anymore
I'm calling in sick to the rest of this year
Nothing you see here is as it appears
I had hopes, but I don't
Think I can go on with the show

And if I had the chance, I'd start over again
Back to where we began, I'd start over again

I'm not leaving the house today
I'm calling in sick to the rest of the year
Nothing you see here is as it appears
You can all go back home
Don't think I can go on with the show

And if I had the chance, I'd start over again
I'd forgive and forget, and start over again
