I went around traveling the world,
A remedy to cure my human disease.
I had a shaman make me dance and sing.
This immortality's a mighty strange thing.
It went,
''Hey hey hey na na.
Hey hey hey-iay na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey-iay-i na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey hey hey-iay na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey-iay-i na.''
****
Coming back, I showed all my friends
How to sing for eternal life.
For some reason they couldn't survive.
The ritual burned them up alive.
It went,
''Hey hey hey na na.
Hey hey hey-iay na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey-iay-i na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey hey hey-iay na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey-iay-i na.''
****
I had to fall down to see
That there was no one else but me
Living here in this state.
All the others died on their way
Singing,
''Hey hey hey na na.
Hey hey hey-iay na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey-iay-i na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey hey hey-iay na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey-iay-i na.''
****
I could not understand
The implications of this life.
Living forever it seems
Has brought me to the jaws of defeat.

I could not have foreseen
What this life means to me.
Living longer and longer still,
I'm losing sight of my free will.
        Hey hey hey na na.
        Hey hey hey-iay na.
        Hey hey hey na na.
        Hey-iay-i na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey hey hey-iay na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey-iay-i na.
****
Pretty soon the whole world will be singing,
And the people they, they will be screaming,
'Cause I forgot to tell them what they needed
So they can live through nonstop repeating,
''Hey hey hey na na.
Hey hey hey-iay na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey-iay-i na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey hey hey-iay na.
Hey hey hey na na.
Hey-iay-i na.''
