Hey, i say

Hey, i say with joy
Oh to have an answer back 
One with so much sense
Hey, i say boy
I then stand in the corner 
As i watch
All of them go out of the world
I watched like a foreigner
And waited until they all whirled and swirled

Atlantic blues washing over, dancing to sound
Flying in the sky oh, the good feeling
Of all them being clowned
A stick of delusion 
A feeling of disgust
But oh, such a taste of
of sweet trust

Hey, i say again
This time less energy 
 and more angst
This has to stop i say 
All ignoring me like dancing in the rain

Why so comfortable 
Why did i have to know 
Or see i could have left
 I could have forgot
But no i lead to theft 

As i took the stick of joy
Went outside threw it across the floor
They run after it like running from 
the waves of Atlantic blues
But for them it's the same 
They're fantasy cruise
Is my reality frame

I stay away now
But boy, if i could go back 
To unsee what i saw 
I would take a vow
A pact, whatever it take 
to get them back
