Hey Dude
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All I have is all I need enough for love but not for greed yeah
I was younger once this guy came to me told me about all the honey out there.
He said, "Honey gold jewels money women wine cars that shine"
I don't know what he was talking about but I think I had an idea.
He said, "Smell the rose, sweet sweet rose, catch the sun find where it grows,
Smell the rose, the sweet sweet rose that grows on castle walls in heaven.
In heaven yeah.
"Well if it tastes like summer, you're catching the sun,
and I'm catching the moment you fall.
Well if it tastes like honey, don't swallow it all,
don't wait for the moment to come
- and catch the sun.
* Hey dude, don't lean on me man
Cause I'm losing my direction and I can't understand, no no
Hey dude, well I do what I can
But you treat me like a woman when I feel like a man.
I was crossing the city one day, everybody was flashing by me
Like images of tombstones, images of tombstones
On a Friday night I've seen everybody looking for their little bit of honey
To alleviate the pain, to alleviate the pain.
Well if it tastes like summer, you're catching the sun,
don't wait for the evening to fall
Well if it tastes like honey, don't swallow it all,
don't wait for the moment to come
- catch the sun.
(repeat *)
And I can't understand
No, No, n no, n no, no etc.
Well I can't understand, when I feel like a man!
Catch the sun
(repeat *)
Dude etc.
Hey dude, well I don what I can
But you treat me like a woman when I feel like a man.
