[00:00.00]Hey, Hey, Hey - Chris Smither
[01:16.87]I am not a prophet
[01:19.01]I wouldn't be one if you paid me
[01:21.75]But it doesn't take a lot to see
[01:24.35]Just where you're headed lately
[01:26.87]Pretty soon you're gonna ask me
[01:29.59]How come the life you lead
[01:31.85]Doesn't make you very happy
[01:34.68]Or satisfy your needs
[01:37.17]You talk about your needs as though
[01:40.10]You know just what they are
[01:42.35]When in fact to really know them
[01:44.21]Is like travelling to a star
[01:47.68]It takes so long you die along the way
[01:52.30]So I say hey hey hey
[02:13.67]C'mon siddown
[02:15.95]Let's talk about illusion
[02:18.32]How everything is made of it
[02:21.37]No wonder life's confusin'
[02:23.15]All this stuff we take for granted
[02:25.88]So solid to the touch
[02:28.48]Is just a concrete indication
[02:31.03]That we love ourselves too much
[02:33.53]But if we don't love ourselves you say
[02:36.50]Who will Whatever for
[02:38.59]I say that's a better question
[02:41.35]Than the one you asked before
[02:44.23]But the answer is still just as far away
[02:48.70]So I say hey hey hey
[03:25.07]Let go of all of this
[03:27.37]Forget about your reason
[03:29.67]You can leave it all behind you
[03:32.55]You can start another season
[03:35.07]All these silly little fictions
[03:37.83]Are gonna take you by surprise
[03:40.15]When you see them in the daylight
[03:42.91]And finally realize
[03:45.51]You told them to yourself
[03:47.88]Nobody else was listening
[03:50.38]You'll be standing broken-hearted
[03:53.01]Like a disillusioned Christian
[03:55.95]With your mouth open but nothin' left to say
[04:00.21]So just say hey hey hey
