Lyrics of
Hey You

Hey you is a track from Pink Floyds album The Wall released in 1979. It reflects feelings of isolation and disconnection from the outside world, a recurring theme throughout the album, which tells the story of a fictional rock star named Pink.

Hey you! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
Hey you! standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me?
Hey you! don't you help them to bury the li-ii-ght
Don't give in without a fight

Hey you! out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me?
Hey you! with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me?
Hey you! would you help me to carry the sto-o-one?
Open your heart, I'm coming home

But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain

Hey you! out there on the road
Always doing what you're told, can you help me?
Hey you! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me?
Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at a-aa-ll
Together we stand, divided we fall.
