Hey Lyrics
[Verse 1: Black Francis]
Hey
Been tryin' to meet you, mm-hm
Hey, must be a devil between us
Or whores in my head
Whores at the door, whore in my bed
But hey
Where have you been?
If you go, I will surely die
[Chorus: Black Francis, Kim Deal]
We're chained
We're chained
We're chained
We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 2: Black Francis]
"Uh!"
Said the man to the lady, mm-hm
"Uh!" Said the lady to the man she adored
And the whores like a choir
Go "Uh!" all night
And Mary, ain't you tired of this?
"Uh!" is the sound
That the mother makes when the baby breaks
[Chorus: Black Francis, Kim Deal]
We're chained
We're chained
We're chained
We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained
(Chained) We're chained

What did Pixies say about "Hey"?
Black Francis told Esquire,
People love this song. It’s like our only R&B song with this three-chord turnaround. Basically it’s our slow-jam R&B song or our version of that I guess. I don’t think we were trying to do that. It just sort of came out naturally. I suppose it’s a relationship so...
