    Somekind of amusement at all the people walking around while we go about the day. Maybe a bit of frustration at the space between them all.

    Story Behind the Song
    I think I wrote this one in a cafeteria when I was working in some kind of office filled building doing office type stuff.

    Not a bad recording for what I have to work with (fifty feet of duct tape, a horseshoe magnet, "bounce" static sheets, and a handful of iron filings). The tiny wizards in my computer worked night and day to create a faithful digital replication and will be rewarded well in due time. Meanwhile, the elves in the studio basement did nothing but waste my duct tape and raid my TV Guide collection to make Frasier collages.

    Lyrics
    Was thinking about complexity,
    The way our thoughts tend to float free,
    While waiting for the ninety-three
    To come along and catch me smoking.
    I saw a girl I’d seen before
    On the bus or someplace else, I’m not sure
    I took a seat across the aisle
    We drove from here to there.
    It took a while.

    Hey you, hey me, hey everybody,
    We walk around
    Always scouting beauty.
    Hey you, hey me, hey perfect body,
    It’s not so vain
    That you keep yourself that way.

    Lunch time, I wait in line
    Through fast track meal plans,
    Think-I-Cans, I try to keep my mind.
    In the corner someone feels the same way,
    Sad girl sits alone reading Nietzsche.
    I offer her a cigarette, She
    Shakes her head and tells me that she quit.
    I took a seat across the aisle,
    Ate my food and tried to keep a smile.

    Hey you, hey me, hey everybody,
    We’re choking on the pit
    Of the conversational cherry.
    Hey you, hey me, hey sad and pouty,
    Don’t you see you’ve been
    Pushing the same rock all this way.

    I see new faces every day
    They just won’t go away.
    Wish I were blind or lost my mind,
    Or could just get away.
    I go outside, I close my eyes,
    I push it all away.
    Might lose control, or grow real old.
    Or waste away today.

    Hey you, hey me, hey everybody,
    My brain has changed
    It will never be the same.
    Hey you, hey me, hey latent lover
    We’ll find each other through the fog
    Together we’ll hide away.
