Snow ((Hey Oh)) (Edit) Lyrics
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Lyrics
Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on
When I sit alone come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe it, we rely on
When I lay it on come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh, listen what I say oh, I got your
Hey oh, now listen what I say oh
When will I know that I really can't go
To the well once more time to decide on
When it's killing me, when will I really see
All that I need to look inside?
Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride
When it's killing me, what do I really need?
All that I need to look inside
Hey oh, listen what I say oh, come back and
Hey oh, look at what I say oh
The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go
Hey oh, whoa
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it's so white as snow
Running through the field
And there's nowhere to go, ho!
When to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh, listen what I say oh, I got your
Hey oh, listen what I say oh
The more I see the less I know
The more I'd like to let it go
Hey oh, whoa
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field
And there's nowhere to go
I said hey hey yeah, oh yeah
Tell my love now
Hey hey yeah, oh yeah
Tell my love now
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field
And there's nowhere to go
I said hey oh yeah, oh yeah
Tell my love now
Hey hey yeah, oh yeah
