Lyrics
[Dale: How is everyone tonight? C'mon, how is everyone? We're really, we're fantastic. Sounds great up here, i hope it sounds nice out there, we'll, does it sound nice out there? The band is going through a lot of changes right now. We're slowing down the tempos and playing a little more dance, expanding on some of our musical concepts, this one is kind of an expansion, it's called Mao Say Tongue number two, of course following Mao Say Tongue number one. And it's one of our new songs from last time we played live.]
young boy choking
his little finger in spite
afraid, he just might say what's on his mind
help this boy, he's proving it to the world
a world of the future for passing
who cares what he be
boy he flies the age of
for the world today
a prize for what he had was
helpless boy is skidding on his suitcase
bored to tears, of the fears
he must, he must be
helpless boy is moving to the world
afraid, of the future
who can, who can this boy be?
boy flies a hang-up
the boy is bored today
rise for what he had on
oh yeah
help this boy today
won't you try
helpless boy is tomorrow's drive
'cause this song frustrates you
with or without you
help this boy just to cry
help this boy to the love inside
'cause this someone
this boy
with or without you
oh yeah
[Billy: Boy it's hot up here]
