Lyrics of ' Hi Too Loo Rye ' by Hop Along

Mother once I awoke as an old man.
My name was Stanley Forbes
And I threw tin cans at everyone who passed my porch.
I dont know why I did but I didn't throw them at the kids
So I was a good guy

I remember yellin hi
Too loo rye
It's the day before I die
So why
Too loo rye
Cause everybody is walking by? Oh hi
Too loo rye
It's the day before I die
And I wanna sigh and cry
Alongside my brothers

Mother once i awoke, as a squirrel
And I jumped from tree to tree to tree to tree,
It was me at the acme of my career.
I saved all I caught that year, which is a lot of acorns let me tell you.
I was very resourceful and

I cried
Too loo rye
This is how it feels to fly so high
Too loo rye
This aint nothing cash could buy oh hi
Too loo rye
Tomorrow I could die
So i'm gonna climb the pines and have myself a time

Mother I dreamt I died last night.
See I was a lightbulb, left on a little too long and burned
Till I was dead with a hundred good ideas in my head
But I forgot 'em all and they tried to throw me away.
But hey when they grabbed a hold of me they all would burn their hands and see that
I was still quite hot with thought and so a little thought
They got that they should keep me as a kind of warmth you cant get from a stove or hearth.
So I sought and thought and fought but then cooled down and said

Oh hi
Too loo rye
To think I had a light inside when I try
Too loo rye
To remember what i wanted to find so sigh
Too loo rye
I thought that I had died

But I think tonight I've got it right,
I'm Stanley and the squirrel the invisible light,
I'm a lover liar, humble fire, im a little spider and a chicken on the wire
Climbin trying sighin cryin laughin highfivin slowly dyin

But I swear now thats alright, yeah I swear now thats alright, mother I'm alright
