I knew it first thing I met you There's something special in us Our lives will be different We will stay young forever
We'll know when we get there And we looked for entrance doors But somehow we never And there was no
And when the streets wake up at nights, we'll go there Singing "Hey, Ho" Hey ho, to the plans that slip away before we have them Catching soup with forks without lamplight
And everyone else seemed to end up places While we just sang "Hey, ho" Hey ho, to the sailors that never passes by To take us along to Brazilian sea ports
But there is something about him Like he has never seen the world Something so pure and decent I have to destroy it
Or tap it on bottles And drink it all night And put a ring on it To keep it forever
And in a suddent flash of light I'll stand there Singing "Hey, ho" Hey ho, to the hope I carry with me in my hands Fragile as newly-born birds or as egg shell
I have something, I know I do I just need someone else to see it too To pinpoint it and let me know What to do
You, my friend, you are no help You have just as little clue as I ever had We ask each other for directions It's as entertaining as it is sad
No, I didn't ask much of him Only that he'd be all I need That he'd fill the void in me Make me stay young forever
And now we roam the streets like tourists There is panic in our eyes We pick up every paving stone Look underneath them for anything
Your head is nowhere safe tonight I have no idea what to say tonight We'll take off our boots and run out Curse and scream at the moon tonight
In a dream I'm on my death bed Being asked what it's all about And in my dream I know it: Roaming the streets with your best friends Singing "Hey, ho"
