Posted February 7, 200718 yr Song: Hey Man Album: Whoa Nelly! Hey, man, don't look so scared. You know I'm only testing you out. Hey man, don't look so angry, you're real close to figuring me out. We are a part of a circle. It's like a mobius strip, and it goes round and round until it loses a link. And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain, and $h!t is gonna fly once again. Hey, man, we look at each other with ample eyes, so why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes? I've got so many questions that I want to ask you. I am so tired of mirrors- pour me a glass of your wine! And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain, and $h!t is gonna fly once again! I've got a bunch of government cheques at my door. Each morning I try to send them back but they only send me more. I look at myself in the mirror; am I vital today? Hey, man, I let my conscience get in the way! And there's a shadow in the sky , and it looks like rain, and $h!t is gonna fly once again, and I don't mean to rain on your parade, but pathos has got me once again... and I don't want ambivalence no more, I don't want ambivalence no more, I don't want ambivalence no more, no I don't want ambivalence no more!

I'm talking to the mirror again but it's not listening I'm cleaning my dirty mind like a toilet but it won't give in I'm drinking spirits in the hopes that I will find myself one But all I can rectify is that the party's just begun Chorus: Party's just begun Party's just begun Party's just begun Party's just begun I feel like falling asleep and never waking up It's not that my glass is empty but I need another cup When all of the doors around me just shut one by one I feel like falling asleep but the party's just begun Chorus Shaky shaky steps in the middle of the day A fire in my path and a cool decay Of limbs and tooth under my skin Oh, freedom, where do I begin I'm changing my inflection and how I say the words Maybe it will sound like something they've never heard Oh, death of the party I picked up the chalice of malice And drank till I was full, I drank till I was full I was thirsty but I drank till I was full, I drank till I, till I,till I was full There's a fever in my bones that I know so well I keep my head low low low to avoid the swell But it'll be cold in hell, it'll be cold in hell Before they put me in that chamber So I'm cleaning up as fast as I can I'm cleaning up as fast as I can Cuz you can't unbreak what you break, you can't unfake the very fake You cannot fuel without a tank, no you can't unbreak what you break, what you break Chorus x 2
