When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again

Do, don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter

Will you, won't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Look out
Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out, 'cause here she comes

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again, yeah, yeah

Well do you, don't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me your answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Look out
Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter

Look out, helter skelter
She's coming down fast
Yes, she is
Yes, she is
Coming down fast

(I've got blisters on my fingers)

    I think this song is about having sex while you're high. Paul McCartney most likely wrote this song in a girl's POV.

    "When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide, Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride Till I get to the bottom and I see you again."

    Basically, Paul (still in a girl's POV) is describing the different sex positions and how she's so high she's comparing the experience to a slide.

    Both: "I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you." - refers to how she's about to cum but she's still higher than he is. "I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you" - refers to how she's about to cum (again) but doesn't want him to yet.

    Which is also why the song laters says "She's coming down fast, yes she is." in the guy's POV (or Paul's)

    The chorus "Helter Skelter" is just another reference to their sex experience or a possible orgasm.

    The entire song is just one correlation for a crazy sexual exp.
