Helen by Joe Iconis 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
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
