Lyrics of
Hey

Hey by the Pixies is one of the most well-known tracks from the album Doolittle, released in 1989. The lyrics, written by Black Francis, the bands frontman, are noted for their obscure and surreal approach, typical of the groups songwriting style. Hey was recognized for its blend of musical styles, a distinctive trademark of the Pixies, merging elements of alternative rock, punk, and surf rock. The song deals with themes of desire, isolation, and ... redemption, though Black Francis has notoriously refrained from explaining his lyrics. Doolittle as a whole received critical acclaim upon its release and is often cited as one of the most influential albums in shaping alternative rock in the 1990s. See more [+]

been trying to meet you
mmmmm
 hey
must be a devil between us
or whores in my head
whores at my door
whores in my bed
but hey
where have you been?
if you go i will surely die

we're chained X5

uh said the man to the lady mmmmm
 uh said the lady to the man she adored
and the whores like a choir
go uh all night
and Mary ain't you tired of this
uh
is
the
sound
that the mother makes when the baby breaks

we're chained X6 end on Bm
