Hey Ho

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 night
We'll go there singing
Hey ho, hey hey ho
To the plans that slip away before we have them
Catching soup with forks without lamp light
And everyone else seemed to end up places
While we just sang
Hey ho, hey hey ho
To the sailors that never pass us by to take us
Along to Brazilian seaports
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 sudden flash of light
I'll stand there singing
Hey ho, hey hey ho
To the hope I carry with me in my hands
Fragile as newly born birds or as eggshell
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
Made 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 deathbed
Being asked what it's all about
And in my dream I know it
Roaming the streets with your best friend singing hey ho
But when I woke up, I forgot it
