Helen Of Troy lyrics - Lorde

Hey, hey

You've heard it all before

One minute, I was killing 'em all

And the next, a brown suit wouldn't let me perform, ah

Typical

So I took a happy face

And it's coming on like a charm

I don't wanna get lost, I wanna worship the sun

If you want, you can come

I'm in my own little golden age

But it's such a pill when they don't appreciate

So when you smoke that cigarette

Or when you talk shit 'bout an old friend

I know it's hard, but do your best

Give yourself a break, have a little faith, ah

Let's hear it for the girls

Living in the modern world

They're banging on the door

"Everyone please make way

For the girl who looks like she flew in from outer space

Yesterday, eh"

I think I'll wait it out

My little thing is keeping 'em keen

They could be drinking with you, but they'll be looking at me

This whole time, I've been playing it coy

The city's falling for me just like I'm Helen of Troy, ah

So when you're broke, can't get ahead

Or when you take it out on your boyfriend

I know it's hard, but do your best

Give yourself a break, have a little faith

Let's hear it for the girls

Living in the modern world

Give yourself a break, have a little faith

Let's hear it for the girls

Living in the modern world

Let's hear it for the girls (Let's hear it for the girls)

Living in the modern world (Living in the modern world)
