    "This is a song Charles Manson stole from 'The Beatles'. We're stealing it back)
    When you get to the bottom
    You go back to the top of the slide
    And you stop and you turn
    And you go for a ride
    Then you get to the bottom
    Then you see me again
    Do you, don't you want me to love you
    Coming down fast I'm right here above you
    Tell me tell me tell me the answer
    Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Do you, don't you want me to make you
    I'm coming down fast now don't let me break you
    Tell me tell me tell me the answer
    You ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    When you get to the bottom
    You go back to the top of the slide
    And you turn and you stop
    And you go for a ride
    Then you get to the bottom
    Then you see me again
    Do you, don't you want me to love you
    Coming down fast I'm right here above you
    Tell me tell me tell me the answer
    Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Helter skelter"
    Writer/s: John Lennon, Paul Mccartney

    This is a cover of the 1968 Beatles song. U2 recorded it live at McNichols arena in Denver on November 8, 1987.
    Helter Skelter represented how they felt towards the end of their Joshua Tree tour. The demands of the film crews following them for the Rattle And Hum documentary and the rigors of the tour were wearing them down.
    Bono introduced this by saying: "This is a song Charles Manson stole from The Beatles, well we're stealin' it back." Charles Manson's followers wrote "Helter Skelter" in blood when they killed Sharon Tate and her friends. He interpreted the title as being about an imminent race war and apocalypse.
    In 1989, U2's song "Exit" was cited by stalker Robert John Bardo as inciting him to kill actress Rebecca Schaeffer. Charles Manson had claimed "Helter Skelter" as an influence on his killing spree.
    This appears in the black-and-white sequence of the movie Rattle And Hum.
