HEY MAN, TELL ME
Hey man, tell me about death
Remember now, I know a lot about it
I've seem it
I've caused it
Do I ever want to experience it?
When will it happen to me?
Hey man, tell me about love
I thought I was in love a number of times
But, somehow I lost it
It snuck away each time
How do I find lasting love?
Hey man, tell me about life
I lived a lot of life but I'm not impressed
Is life a constant struggle?
Is there happiness?
Do the nightmares last forever?
Do I ever find what I want?
Hey man, tell me
