"Helen Of Troy (Live)" lyrics - JOHN CALE

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

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]

Big fat mama done me wrong
Left me standing all alone
But that bitch 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, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy

[Electric Viola Solo]

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
