Halleluhwah Lyrics
Did anybody see this snowman
Standing in the wind alone?
When mother did that, pick his head
And you’re feeling sleepy at.
It’s my recording, stitch remain,
But I record in his head
Knowing that too big mouth,
Oh, ice can flow away, no one knows.
Oh, shadow coming out,
While I call the story, storey that.
Oh, sample all about,
Spinning that all the time.
My powers strike me out.
Did I slip this thing on their life?
And my God buying out,
Oh, it gets me inside.
Searching for my blood flow, yes, I am,
Searching for my blood flow, yes, I am,
Searching for my blood flow, yes, I am,
Searching for my blood flow, yes, I am.
Did you see the day?
Every fever may I search in.
We can find now harder steam,
Change his kind, fly away.
Oh,
They’re all alone there, let me in.
Oh, she asked me the first day
For my name.
So she wasn’t going where I was singing.
Mushroom head, oh yeah, paperhouse,
I went day, first the game.
It wasn’t a game after this.
Oh, shadow coming out,
While I call the story, storey that.
Oh, it’s all about,
Spinning that all the time.
Shoot all the proof and lust and shout and it’s all, just you sow,
Shoot all the proof and lust and shout and it’s all, just you sow,
Shoot all the proof and lust and shout and it’s all, just you sow,
Shoot all the proof and lust and shout and it’s all, just you sow.
Searching for my blood flow,
Searching for my blood flow, let it, let it, let it flow,
Searching for my blood flow, let it, let it, let it flow,
Searching for my blood flow, let it, let it, let it flow,
Searching for my blood flow, let it, let it, let it flow.
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow.
Ask you
And the hills are blue,
And she’s so.
Got my fever, why do I go?
Got my fever, why do I go?
Got your soles into your shoes.
Got my fever, why do I go?
Got my fever, why do I go?
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow,
Lalalalalalalalalala, let it flow.

Are the lyrics correct? I always assumed at the ended he was shouting 'halelelelelelelelelelela-leleleleleluwah'. Hence the song title.
there are a dozen variations i have seen trying to document lyrics for this song I will have to agree with snapman on the 'halelelelelelelelelelela-leleleleleluwah' thing
trying to decipher most Can lyrics is like having Ray Charles for a bus driver....
This is the song that makes Tago Mago disc one a concept album, bringing together the mushroom and paperhouse songs (and probably Oh Yeah, too, but I couldn't say for sure). As for what it's a concept album about... God only knows.
The funny thing is, though, that even though the music is excellent, the album cover manages to be even better.
Vive Can.
One of the biggest misconceptions about this song is that it is free form .In fact it was written specifically in answer to the Velvet Underground
s "Heroin". Hence the repeated chorus of "searching for my bloodflow" NOT "brother".This was in direct answer to the chorus of "Heroin" "Ive been searching for my mainline" . I personally talked about this with both Damo and Michael Karoli(R.I.P). It`s also in The Can book,so Anti Jehovahs.........you look foolish!@yugedralya One minor correction: "Searching for my mainline" is from Sister Ray, not Heroin. The chorus of Heroin is "Heroin, it's gonna be the death of me. Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life."

The VU also performed a song live, never released on one of their albums, titled "Searching for My Mainline."

At the beginning, he says something about going to praise the lord, sleepy eyed...
Did anybody see this snowman Stand there with the lord With proper get up, hang his hat only you're feeling sleepy eyed
It's my recording station, man But I record in his head Going down to big mouth Oh the ice came down from way up north
Ooh, shadow coming out Why, it's all a story, story that Oh, sample all about Spinning that all the time
Ah, a power strike me out Did I slip this thing on their life And my God buying out Who awaits me inside
Searching for my brother, yes, I am Searching for my brother, yes, I am Searching for my brother, yes, I am Searching for my brother, yes, I am
Did you see the day Every fever may I search him You can find him, out of steam She just cried, cried away
Oh There's all a woman, just by me And she asked me if I'd stay For a night Something was going, I was sinking Mushroom head, oh yeah, paperhouse I wonder if I should go...
I'll continue this later, but I don't have time now. An incredible song, and clearly indicating Suzuki's future (and unfortunate) departure in order to become a Jehovah's Witness...
Sad things religion do to humanity...
people who live in delusion ? :P ok :)
Yes, but if everyone on Earth was a Jehova's Witness then what would be the point of continuing to go around and knock on everyone's door trying to spread your message about Jehove if everyone's already heard it. I've heard that a Jegova's Witness has to convert a certain number of people to get into heaven, if true, one of the core beliefs of the religion could not make sence, and thus the religion itself would not be able to be in existence with such a paradox, if there were no people to convert. All of humanity would be forever barred from heaven. It seems to me that, regarding this belief, the Jegova's Witnesse religion needs non Jehova's Witnesses.
I think I read somewhere that Can's lyrics were very often stream of consciousness.
This would seem to fit the bill if you ask me.
Man, I always assumed Damo was asking "are you feeling sleepy yet?" in the first stanza, the 3rd started with "moon shadow coming down" and it was "searching for my front door" (i.e. tripping so hard he can't find his front door).
Only Damo knows I suppose. Maybe he doesn't even know...
