"Helena"
Words & Music by John Craigie

LYRICS
I was born dead, mama told me 
She said the devils they didn’t want me 
And they left me behind for her to hold
And she said, no one could see me
I was invisible to everybody
And we would have revenge for what they stole
 
She said fire was how we’d make ‘em pay
As I ran across the fields she would scream
 
Light it up son 
 
She would send me in with the matches
I would burn that shit down to ashes 
And I would crawl out of the flames back in to her arms 
And she was right, no one could see me
I was her ghost, I was her banshee
And in our wake we watched Montana burn
 
Somehow they figured out that it was her
But it only made us run faster
 
Light it up son
 
When she was tired of the chase 
She decided that we would make our peace
See I was born dead and she’d been jealous the whole time 
So she tied us both to the stairwell 
Made me light one last farewell 
I can still hear her crying through the flames 
 
And when the Helena police arrived at the scene
The fire must have burned away my invisibility 
They pulled me out, not a scratch, they couldn’t believe
 Just a loose rope wrapped around me not tied to anything
 
Light it up son
