Chris Smither - Hey, Hey, Hey lyrics

You know 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 When 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, hey hey So I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey" Just say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey" Just say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey" C'mon, sit down We're gonna talk about illusion How everything is made of it Well, 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? 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" Let go of all of this Just forget about your reason You can leave it all behind you You can start another season With all these silly little fictions Are gonna take you by surprise If you see them in the daylight And finally realize That you told them to yourself And nobody else was listening 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" We'll all say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey" Let's just say, "Hey, hey, hey" Ain't nothin' left to say, well, "Hey, hey, hey" Just say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"
