Lyrics
Cocaine Bill & Morphine Sue--
Get out the way. Here comes Helium Hugh.
Helium...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.
[Helium kazoo break]
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 skimp.
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...
Public Service 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.
Up I go, up I go...
Help! I've risen and I can't get down, etc.
