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 nights we ll go there singing hey ho hey ho to the plans that slip away before we have them catching soup with forks without lamplight and everyone else seemed to end up places while we just sang hey ho hey ho to the sailors that never passes by to take us along to brazilian sea ports 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 suddent flash of light i ll stand there singing hey ho hey ho to the hope i carry with me in my hands fragile as newly born birds or as egg shell 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 make 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 death bed being asked what it s all about and in my dream i know it roaming the streets with your best friends singing hey ho but when i woke up i forgot it
