Send "Hey Light" Ringtone to Cell

Ya! Woo! Ya! Woo! Ya! Woo Ya! Woo! (repeated screaming)

Hey Light
In the curtain, in the room, in a well-made bed for two, I'm walking.

Hey Light
I'd forgotten work today, cause you should work all day, they're walking

Hey Light, the colors will arise, keep it deep inside, we are also working

Hey Light
I can wear my moccasins
you have made me smile again. There aint nothin' like you. (repeated until fade out)

Send "Hey Light" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:I love this song, it makes me laugh, even if it is slightly...odd.

    I think the lyrics are pretty much right. Does anyone know what is being said before they start going "ahh" "ahh" "ahh" ahh"???

    General Comment:I feel like this song could be about two people up together in bed all through the night making love, and not wanting it to be morning for the sake of having to end the nights festivities, but at the same time happy for the morning (light) because it starts a new day for them to be together and do other things.. I don't know, maybe that doesn't fit, but this is indeed a trippy song to listen to high.

    General Comment:I show this to my friends when they're high and they laugh their asses off. Very trippy and extremely creative. My favorite off here comes the indian easily but kinda drags on

    General Comment:This album kind of reminds me of The Cure, like around Faith and Pornography. Just a little bit more optimistic of course, haha
