Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Now let me tell you a story

The devil, he has a plan

A bag of bones in his pocket

Get anything you want

No dust, no rocks

And the whole thing is over

All the beauties in solid motion

All the beauties, gonna swallow you up

[Chorus]

Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi

Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi

[Verse 2]

One time too many, too far to go

I, we come to take you home

And when they split the atoms

It's hotter than the sun

So wake up, young lovers

The whole thing is over

Watch out, touch monkeys

All that blood is gonna swallow you whole

Let's go

[Chorus]

Hi, hi, hi, hi

Hi, hi, hi, hi

[Instrumental]

Now when your hands get dirty

No one knows you at all

Don't have a window to slip out of

Lights on, nobody home

Click click, he's gone

Beta beta, eyes close

Pika-Pika, dice roll

All your blood might never come off

[Chorus]

Hi, hi, hi, hi

Hi, hi, hi, hi

Hi, hi, hi, hi

Hi, hi, hi, hi
