Lyrics

[Intro] Let me tell you a story about [?] Let me catch you up Instead of getting the words right [?] in your ear, tell it [?] in your ear And what was that? Alright Now it's [?] Leave a hole, in my head [?] giving it up That was all Heh-heh [Verse 1] Now let me tell you a story The devil, he has a plan A bag of bones in his pocket Get anything you want No dust and no rocks The whole thing is over All those beauties in solid motion All those beauties, gonna swallow you up Let's go [Chorus] Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi One time too many and too far to go Hi, we've come to take you home Woo-hoo [Verse 2] And when they split those atoms It's hotter than the Sun Blood is a special substance And they're gonna pray for that man So wake up, young lovers The whole thing is over Watch out, touch monkeys All that blood is gonna swallow you whole Let's go [Chorus] Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi (Oh) Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi What's that? Who's driving? Where we goin'? Who knows? Hi, we've come to take you home Woo-hoo [Bridge] How many people do you think I am? Pretend I am somebody else You can pretend I'm an old millionaire A millionaire washing his hands Rattle them bones, dreams that stick out A medical chart on the wall Soft violins, hands touch your throat Everyone wants to explode [Verse 3] Now, when your hands get dirty Nobody knows you at all Don't have a window to slip out of Lights on, nobody home Click, click, see you later Beta, beta, no time to rest Pika, pika, risky business All that blood will never cover that mess Let's go [Chorus] Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi So soft, hard feelings No tricks, let's go Hi, we've come to take you home Woo-hoo [Outro] Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi (Woah) Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi (Woah, heh-ooh, heh-ooh, heh-ooh) Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
