Hey Hey Hey

1 ContributorHey, Hey, Hey Lyrics[Verse 1]

I am not a prophet

I wouldn't be one if you paid me

But it doesn't take a lot to see

Just where you're headed lately

Pretty soon you're gonna ask me

How come the life you lead

Doesn't make you very happy

Or satisfy your needs

And you talk about your needs as though

You know just what they are

Well, in fact, to really know them

Is like traveling to a star

It takes so long you die along the way

So I say, "Hey, hey, hey-hey, hey-hey"

Hey, hey, hey

Yeah, I say, "Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey"

[Verse 2]

Come on, sit down

And let's talk about illusion

How everything is made of it

No wonder life's confusin'

All this stuff that we take for granted

So solid to the touch

Is just a concrete indication

That we love ourselves too much

"But if we don't love ourselves," you say

"Who will and whatever for?"

And I say, "That's a better question

Than the one you asked before"

But the answer is still just as far away

So I say, "Hey, hey, hey-hey, hey-hey"

Hey hey hey-hey-hey

[Verse 3]

Let go of all of this

Forget about your reason

You can leave it all behind you

You can start another season

'Cause all these silly little fictions

Are gonna take you by surprise

As you see them in the daylight

And you finally realize

That you told them to yourself

Nobody else was listening

And you'll be standing broken-hearted

Like a disillusioned Christian

With your mouth open but nothin' left to say

So just say, "Hey, hey, hey-hey, hey-hey"

Hey, hey, hey-hey

Hey, hey, hey
