Hey you! If anybody's home I'm trying to get through With a story for you There's a monster out there, and it really doesn't care What you say, what you do, if you're young or you're grey
Hey you! You can take it from me I was talkin' that talk 'till I was 43 I was walking in a web that was too thick to shed And it was only by degrees that I was brought to my knees
Justification of my mode of operations Looking good...number one on my list Trapped in the circle of a merry-go-round Couldn't get up...getting down
The things that I was doing Was all I'd ever known I didn't know that I was driven by delusion to the bone
You wanna hear the greatest story ever told? There ain't a greater feelin' than the healing of your soul
WOMAN: Baby, I'm not here to sell you But you need someone to tell you like it is I don't wanna be a preacher But you really need a teacher - here it is.
<Scatting>
JOHN: Hey you! Don't beat yourself up, be gentle to yourself ('Cause there ain't nobody else) And it isn't your fault, and I know it seems weak And you're only on the street 'till you admit defeat
Hey you! You can take it from me There's more goin' down than you and I can ever see There's a tale being told, and the word is all around It's a brand new day - get the heck out your way!
I never let you tell me what I wanted to hear When you said it like it is, it never got to my ears My behaviour at its peak, was completely insane Kept playing those games with a saturated brain
I never thought I'd had to go as far as I did I had to lose a home and abandon that kid
You wanna hear the greatest story ever told? There ain't a greater feelin' that the healing of your soul
WOMAN: Baby, I'm not here to sell you But you need someone to tell you like it is I don't wanna be a preacher But you really need a teacher - here it is.
JOHN: Make a turn around, make a U-turn now
<Scatting>
WOMAN: Baby, I'm not here to sell you, But you need someone to tell you like it is
JOHN: Make a U-Turn Make about-face, make a turn around Make a turn around, make a U-Turn now
WOMAN: I don't wanna be a preacher But you really need a teacher, here it is
JOHN: Make a turn around, make a U-Turn now
<Scatting>
WOMAN: Hey you...hey...hey you...he-eeey
<Scatting>
JOHN: Make a U-Turn Make about-face, make a turn around Make a turn around, make a U-Turn now
<Scatting>
JOHN: Make a turn-around, make a U-Turn now

WOMAN: Here it is...here it is...hey...hey you...hey...
