This song was inspired by the band’s stay at Helga’s Folly while they were on tour in Sri Lanka. The folly itself is owned by Helga Desilva Blow Perera, from whom the title “Madame Helga” originated. The song is also one of the heavier tracks produced by the band along with “Vegas Two Times”.
[Verse 1]
Mary Mary where you been?
You been out all night?
You ain't got no sleep?
She said 'I been dancing in the hills at a place I know'
She said 'an' that's the place where the fireflies glow'
[Pre-Chorus]
Had to slap my white face
Pull my head from the clouds
And I kept buying 'n' lying 'n' flying, relying
And dying to know what spins your world around
[Chorus]
Good morning I missed ya
But ya bringing me down
I saw an Indian roller
Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour
We fought our forty eighth fight
Madame Helga's folly
Is where I spent last night
[Verse 2]
She's been married not once not twice but three
And that's the livin' lovin' woman I want me to be
There were pictures and paintings of freaks like me
So I drank with the devil for my company
[Pre-Chorus]
Had to slap my white face
Pull my head from the clouds
And I kept buying 'n' lying 'n' flying, relying and dying
To know what spins your world around
[Chorus]
Good morning I missed ya
But ya bringing me down
I saw an Indian roller
Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour
We fought our forty eighth fight
Madame Helga's folly
Is where I spent last night
Good morning I missed ya
But ya bringing me down
I saw an Indian roller
Today on the line
It was the forty eighth hour
We fought our forty eighth fight
Madame Helga's folly
Is where I spent last night
