Lyrics
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah
by Wilfred Kozub
I?m always looking for beauty and it?s always in the right place
I may be looking behind me when it?s right there in front of my face
And I don?t need to imagine, I just have to see
All this beauty that?s hangin? ?round me
Oh yeah, oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah
Aloha, baby, hello Aloha, baby, hello
My idea of Heaven is to wake up in a really good dream
A camera solves the confusion ? a funny moment turns into a scream
There?s the house that I?ve been in and it?s always the same
I am lost, can?t remember my name
Oh yeah, oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah
I get my clues from people younger than me
What can I do to be a part of the scene?
(I?m not as cool as I used to be)
Then I make up my own reality
I decide what?s in my scenery
(I may be a fool, but you?re not laughin? at me)
Aloha, baby, hello Aloha, baby, hello
Don?t tell me the ocean is rising and this island is slippin? away
I?m not through paradisin? ? it doesn?t matter what you say
If I have to go down, I WILL go down
Hangin? on till my toes touch ground
Oh yeah, oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah
Aloha, baby, hello Aloha, baby, hello
