lyrics

HELIUM - SKINNY ALLEY / ESCAPE THE ROAR / 2003 / Virgin Records

Climbing the mountain, feeling the wind upon my face
Watching people, down there, little ants
Running their endless, endless race
That I don't want to enter
Competition never nourished my soul
And I'm through with pretending that
I'm not a square peg in a round hole

How I yearned to be me
Think I just learned to be me

Seems like I'm filled with helium and now
I am a big balloon
Untethered and soaring
Onto the planets and their vivid moons
No weight on my shoulders
My spine as light as light as thistle down
I'll go where I want to yet
I'm not tied down to that greedy ground

Chorus
