Helen Songtext
von Dan Warren

They came from so many miles away
Just to see your face
And they pronounced the trip a waste
′Cause you were just some pretty girl
As unremarkable as sand
And yet the war went on as planned

And now your suitors are all corpses on the field
So gullible and foolish
That they'd perish for a well-intentioned lie
Somebody told them that you were somehow special
Despite all of the evidence that you were just ordinary

Drag your fingernails across your face
Tear out your eyes, Helen
Making sure that nobody will want you anymore
Tear out all your hair and break your teeth with storms, Helen
Maybe they′ll stop fighting if their pretty prize is broken and ruined


You may say you made no difference either way
And there was nothing you could do
They would have come and they'd have stayed
Like anybody

You want to be wanted without hurting anyone
But if that isn't possible, when all is said and done
You′d rather tear yourself to pieces and throw yourself away
Than live life poisoned by the guilt
For the men who broke like waves against you

Drag your fingernails across your face
Tear out your eyes, Helen
Making sure that nobody will want you anymore
Tear out all your hair and break your teeth with storms, Helen
Maybe they′ll stop fighting if their pretty prize is broken and ruined

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
