Lyrics The Hippie - Infrared

The Hippie

I couldn't sleep for once more last night
I was wandering, feeling very tight
The bright neon lamp has entered my sight
I rushed into the bar, I was perfectly right

After a couple of drinks, I ended kin' of dizzy
The old man next to me said: dude, take it easy
I turned and looked at him with an endless pity
But then he smiled, making me feel quite guilty

This night I bumped into a very special guy
He made me optimist and my moral is high

The old man turned to be an unrepentant hippie
Funny, openhearted, easy-going, extra zippy
He gives warm around him like a bright sun
And always repeats: never trust the man, man

He was not at all an ordinary old man
I was totally mistaken, having him for fun
He told me crazy stories, he ain't cheappy
In his youth, he was a famous hippie

He wore colorful shirts and shoes with heals
An ancient flowered van, was his wheels
The chicks took turns to give him a treat
He stayed for 5 years in the caves of Crete

This night I bumped into a very special guy
He made me optimist and my moral is high

The old man turned to be an unrepentant hippie
Funny, openhearted, easy-going, extra zippy
He gives warm around him like a bright sun
And always repeats: never trust the man, man.
