[Intro]
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop, I turn, and I go for a ride
When I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop, I turn, go for a ride
When I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you, don't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast and I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

[Chorus]
So look out
Helter skelter, na la la la la la la
Helter skelter, na la la la la la la
Helter skelter, na la la la la la la
Helter skelter, na la la la la la la

[Verse 2]
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop, I turn, go for a ride
When I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you, don't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast but don't let me take you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
Well you may be a lover but you ain't no fucking dancer

[Hook]
So look out
Helter skelter, na la la la la la la
Helter skelter, na la la la la la la
Helter skelter, na la la la la la la
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
I'm coming down fast

[Outro]
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop

Siouxsie and the Banshees

Formed in 1976, Siouxsie and the Banshees is one of the main faces of post-punk and new wave music. Their sound is interesting, distinctive, and dynamic. The band’s songs often tell stories, and have deep meanings behind lyrics filled with imagery. From slower songs such as Cascade, to more upbeat tunes such as Peek-A-Boo, and even to covers such as The Last Beat of My Heart and Dear Prudence, the sound that Siouxsie and the Banshees had is timeless.
