Hippos - He Said lyrics

When I was just a young boy

I loved to play with my toys

And sit around and watch tv

Sometimes we'd go to the beach

I loved to go to the beach

Until an old man came to me

I said hey misterwhy do you look so blue

He said it's nothing you just

Look like someone I once new

I said oh really as I looked into his eyes

Right then and there I knew this man would tell no lies

He said

I am a man of gloryI've got a million stories

If you would just listen to me

I've sailed across this oceangiven so much devotion

But just one thing has stayed with mecome here and see

We'd find a park with flowers

We'd sit and talk for hours

He taught me ancient history

He said

I used to be a great man

I traveled across this great land

Until an old man came to me

And said

I am a man of gloryI've got a million stories

If you would just listen to me

I've been around the world

Been with all kinds of girls

But just one thing has stayed with mecome here and see

But now I am much older

My life has grown much colder

I only care about one thing

How can I make more money

Life's empty without money

And then a voice spoke out to me

And said

I am a man of gloryI've got a million stories

If you would just listen to me

I used to be a rich man

Money can ruin a good man

Just look what it has done to me

No i'mI'm not the same as I used to be...
