Helen

Lyrics

The other day Ma said to me "What happened to that girl you went to high school with?" I said "Me Ma, gee Ma, I don't know, there's plenty of girls that I went to high school with." And she says "No, Joe The one with the talent and the 'je ne sais quoi' Who played in the play as Blanche Dubois in your senior year." And I said "Helen? You mean Helen? Well, I don't know what she's up to, I have no idea." But I did know, I knew well Just couldn't bring myself to tell That Helen's in skin flicks now Helen's in skin flicks now She went from couldn't be nicer To wanton enticer Yeah, Helen's in skin flicks now Helen's in skin flicks now The conference was over and the folks were lame So I went back to my room with a couple hours to kill I thought I'd get a dirty movie with a nondescript name just in case they print the title on the bill And I watched, it was fine There were girls , none were mine Then I spied a familiar face in the midst of sweat and sin My heart skipped a beat, my gut caved in, man Helen's in skin flicks now Helen's in skin flicks now Was shocked at what I was seein' My Pre-K girlfriend was bein' Poked and prodded in skin flicks, wow Helen's in skin flicks now Pick up the phone gonna call everybody Pick up the phone, who'm I gonna call first? Was she slutty in school? My memory's muddy Buddy, I bet she's tight with Fred Durst I wonder if her dad knows, you know that he's got to I remember that dude from the newspaper route Look at the phone, damn, that must be a lot to deal with And maybe he never found out about Helen Oh well, then I guess that I'll call somebody later I wonder if she's one of those girls who loves what she does Or if she's being forced to stay I wonder if people who knew me in high school are just as shocked at how I turned out and what I'm like today I mean, I am not impressive But I am not in pornos, so I guess I'm not doing so bad No no no I'm not so shoddy But I don't want to jinx myself So I'm not telling anybody That Helen's in skin flicks now Helen's in skin flicks now Wrapped up in scandalous madness And her eyes show her sadness And she's been in some skin flicks Yeah, Helen's in skin flicks now Helen's in skin flicks now Her favorite candy was smarties And she cried at cast parties Was an honor-roll brownie And a self-proclaimed townie Hung with Sunday-school prayer nerds Never really said swear words Wanted to be a nurse And was a pretty nice person But Helen's in skin flicks now Helen's in skin flicks now Helen's in skin flicks now
