Lyrics
Hey Lou
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.
What's inside that heavy head?
Are you on the junk again? Your eyes look red
But your mouth keeps moving on and on and on and on
We're losing all of our friends
Pretty soon it's going to be just you and me across the table
Hey Lou
Are you feeling alright?
Whatcha wanna do
Are we staying all night
No one knows what to think
When you're acting like an asshole
Spilling all the drinks
And talking shit about Warhol again
Who is that fool in the den?
I'm not running a zoo here, tell me now
What can we do?
Hey Lou
Are you feeling alright
Whatcha wanna do
Is he staying all night?
Hey Lou
Are you feeling alright
You told me you had wings
Flying high down 5th Avenue
How did that work out for you?
How did that work out for you?
How did that work out for you?
How did that work out for you?
Oh, Superman
I've done as much as I can
You're not the life of the party
Hey Lou
Are you feeling alright
Whatcha wanna do
Are we staying all night
Hey Lou
Are you feeling alright
Whatcha wanna do
I can see the daylight again
