Song lyrics
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I 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 tell me come on tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

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.

Look out helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter

Look out, cause here she comes.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again

Well do you, don'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.

Look out helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out helter skelter
She's coming down fast
Yes she is
Yes she is.

I have never actually heard the song "Helter Skelter" but I looked up the lyrics because of the Manson murders! I wish I could find somewhere online to hear it..

I totally adore this song! It's so untypical The Beatles in a way, but then again, it was typical for them to be the first at doing everything. My God, this tune rocks! And when sir Paul played it live this summer, it just blew me away!

i read the book helter skelter and it was about the manson murders. it turns out that charles manson was absolutely obsessed with the beatles and thought the beatles' lyrics had subliminal messages written for him to uncover and that's why he killed those people. because he thought the beatles' lyrics were telling him to take a stand so his Family would become the supreme rulers of the world. read the book. it's friggin awesome. and the beatles are too of course. that's the whole reason i read the book in the first place.

Yeah, what's up with the blister thing? I would expect it on Anthology but on a "real' album it just throws me off every time

I love this song, its osm. SO many people think John wrote it coz its his style but it was actually Paul...I hate Charles Mansion for ruining this song for everyone who was alive at that time
So when my dad put his white album record onto a cd, he cut out this song! Thats too bad considering I wasnt around then so its just a cool song to me.

This song is so great. It's like an experiment gone right. So crazy and full of energy. It's weird that it's about Charles Manson

You want to know something really crazy? One of Charlie's followers, Susan Atkins, went by the name Sadie Mae Glutz. They called her Sadie before the album came out. Eventually she gave the whole thing away by bragging...Listen to 'Sexy Sadie' it's disturbingly appropriate.

Starters...this song kicks ass.

Two: How do you not know Charles Manson?

Three: To whomever talked about Sadie (Susan Atkins) this album came out in '68 and the murders took place in '69. The Beatles were great musicians but not fortune tellers. (Except to Charles Manson)

But if you want a conspiracy just say the Beatles became part of the Manson "family" he had going in the 60's.
