Helen of Troy (Live) lyrics
by John Cale
[Verse 1]
Greet me, greet me in the dark
Shiny, shiny Joan of Arc
When the moonlight starts its glow
Cold heart Helen, queen of them all
[Verse 2]
She's got charisma and thunderstorms
Like a baby, she's never, never been bought
She's got mammon in the skies
In the corners of her eyes
[Chorus]
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Big fat mama done me wrong
Left me standing all alone
But that b*tch is as old, is as old, is as old, is as old, is as old, is as old
As that dirty old crow right out there in the cold
[Chorus]
Oh, Helеn of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helеn of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
[Electric Viola Solo]
[Verse 4]
Mercy, mercy, mercy me
I'm so scared, please comfort me
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be your back street boy
Baying like the hounds of Troy
[Chorus]
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
