The Jeffrey Lewis, Peter Stampfel Band - Hey Hey lyrics

Maybe at the next crosswalk
We will not walk
Instead we’ll all start skipping and jumping
And maybe in this whole New York
A little act of happiness
Can still mean something

Hey hey go ahead throw away what went before
You’ll say, in my head
There’s no reason to be bored
Hey hey break the springs
Shake a leg and spread your wings
Hey hey many things everything and anything
Sometimes we’re lost, sometimes we’re tossed
Like laundry in the dryer
I’ll help you up, you help me up
And we will both be higher than yesterday

If only we could seize the chance
And everyday ride the magic rainbow horsey
And hey hey was all we’d say
It ain’t no worse than any
Other fate you might foresee

Hey hey lots of luck
Things don’t really have to suck
Hey hey pass the buck
Fill her up, start the truck
Hey hey here we go no time to take it slow
How high? What behind?
It’s what’s ahead, you never know

Sometimes we’re bruised, sometimes we’re used
Like punching bags and suckers
I’ll help you up, you help me up
And we’ll be better truckers than yesterday

And all the fishes in the
Sea don’t have to swim
They all can take a break and start gloatin’
But all the visions inside me like galaxies
There’s been into space and explodin’

Hey hey what the hell
Ain’t it worse to never try?
Hey hey might as well
Just as dumb to sit and cry
Hey hey poorly planned
Then you dropped it anyway
So what? take my hand
There’s a
Life to live today

Sometimes we’re cooked
Sometimes we’re hooked
Like chickens on a skewer
I’ll help you up, you help me up
How we will feel less bluer than yesterday

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
