The Beatles – Helter Skelter Lyrics
Track 23 on The Beatles (The White Album)
[Paul McCartney]
When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn
And I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer!
And you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Go Helter Skelter
Helter Skelter
Helter Skelter
Will you, won't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast, but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer!
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn
And I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer!
And you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Go Helter Skelter
Helter Skelter
Helter Skelter
Will you, won't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast, but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer!
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

About Helter Skelter
A “helter skelter” is an amusement park ride with a slide built in a spiral around a high tower (it’s also snobby British slang, meaning “in disorderly haste or confusion”)
Paul McCartney — who penned the song — used the song as a response to critics who accused him of writing too many ballads.
Here is Siouxie and the Banshees' iconic version
