Sometimes life it takes you by the hair, pulls you down
Before you know it, it's gone and you're dead again
I've been in places and I won't pretend
That I'd make it out just to fall on my head
Wake up strange I take the walk downstairs
Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent
You know that I could not believe my own truth
Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose
Yeah yeah and it's O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah yeah and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight
You know those days when you want to just choose
To not get out of bed, you're lost in your head again
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/helena-beat-lyrics-foster-the-people.html ]
You play the game but you're kind of cut
'cause you're coming down hard and your joints are all stuck
I've tried to say that it's not the only way
I never knew if I could face myself to change
You were impatient, I was insecure
Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, in the prison I've been living in
Yeah yeah and it's O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah yeah and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight
Yeah yeah and it's O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah yeah and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight

Please don't post lyrics if you heard them once at a party over a loudspeaker with the bass all the way up and you can't type out "you"

Please for the love of music update those lyrics. Just listened to the unplugged version on vh1 about 15 times and completely missing the message of the song with what's listed. The real lyrics... Sometimes life it takes you by the hair Pulls you down before you know it It's gone and you're dead again I've been in places and I won't pretend Yeah I'd make it out just to fall on my head Wake up stranger take the walk downstairs Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent You know that I could not believe my truth To show 'em what I choose, got nothing to lose oh Yeah yeah and it's okay I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight You know those days when you want to just choose To not get out of bed you're lost in your head again You play the game but you're kinda cut Cuz you're coming down hard and your joints are all stuck I tried to say that it's not the only way I never knew if I could face myself to change You were pacing I was insecure Slip and fall I'm dodging calls hug the prison I've been livin in Yeah yeah and it's okay I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight Yeah yeah and it's okay I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison took a sip of something poison

It sounds like in the first verse that the lyrics in a couple lines should be this: "Pulls you down before you know it" "That I make it out just to fall on my head" "To show em what I chose, got nothin' to lose
