There's No Place Like Helen

He walks tall sometimes Afraid, aware There are people around There are people that stare Where's the one to walk beside She may have died, she choked on his pride

He buys a ticket A movie of life There's a hero on heroine There's a husband and wife Where' the one to finish the show She said she must go, she choked on some snow

He flies high sometimes Sobriety stone There's a bong on the table There's a man on the phone Where's the one to share the time She can't make the climb, she choked on a lime

And all that he needs... And here, makes a pause There's no place like Helen For a Wizard of Oz
