I did something bad
I got in a fight
about drugs
kicked him in the neck
I am helsabot
I am all you're not
but you wish you were
I am working hard
don't you laugh at me
I am helsabot
alcohol fueled robot
I take off my clothes
then I say to joe
"do your pants ever just fall off?"
a menage-et-trois' fine
I am helsabot
I am all you're not
but you wish you were
I am working hard
don't you laugh at me
I am helsabot
alcohol fueled robot
I got in a fight
about drugs
kicked him in the neck
I am all you're not
but you wish you were
don't you laugh at me
I am helsabot
alcohol fueled robot
then I say to joe
"do your pants ever just fall off?"
a menage-et-trois' fine
I am all you're not
but you wish you were
don't you laugh at me
I am helsabot
alcohol fueled robot

what does the word "helsabot" mean?
Basically, it's about the entropic breakdown of an addiction, whether that be drugs [first verse], alchohol [second verse] or sex [third verse].
this song is breathtaking and beautiful.
I like Ten In the Swear Jar's version better. Also when Caralee sings it.
I hate when Caralee sings it, too slow.
i love when caralee sings it, too slow.
i sing when caralee loves it, too slow.
i laugh when caralee fucks it, too slow
caralee loves it when i sing, too slow.
This is hands down, my favorite Xiu Xiu song ever written. It works for me on so many levels...I love the part where he asks if "joe's" pants ever fall off. It is such a beautiful way to describe desire. And the menage-et-trois part to me is like this complete surrender for another person, like he'll do whatever they want, even if it's subversive and dirty.
I could probably talk about this song for hours, but I love all versions of the song because to me, the lyrics are so important Jamie could just sit there and read them and I'd enjoy it.
