A racing stampede
Down in the valley
The waves are horses made of mercury
Our boat is shakin'
Wet timber aching
Helter skelter in the pouring rain
The boiling river's driving me insane
The rain-gods are calling my name
The end of the world is already in sight
CHOR:
Midnight in China
We're stuck between the devil and
The deep blue sea
Heaven! Fire
The angels of hell
Found their heaven on earth !
Caught in ancient China
The slaves just pull the ropes
A neverending tug of war
And the river always wins the game
Helter skelter in the pouring rain
