Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1 (x1)
---> Play Riff 1 + 2 over:
Story time, Sways away the haze
They spent contemplating, formulating,
Theory searing above me swimming
Pay tribute to the few we look up to
Come again, hear my soul fool
Who will know us but our brothers
Those who down with us are thinking
New school, tip top, pound the feeble
Walking and talking
Low down and evil
Follow me now, yo yato
The Nix Hex is on
---> Play Riff 3 (x4)
---> Play Riff 1 + 2 over:
Would everybody just look at the hook
I took it straight from my brain
Reminds me of the time I was insane
And so I wrote it when I was loaded
And voted the least likely to turn out like a square
---> Play Riff 4 over:
I'm singing it for your mind and no
I'm singing it for your ears
Jump up and down and leave the ground and know that's why your here
And they say down diggey down down down diggey diggey down
Stronger Longer
Line up your ways of know what I'm thinking say it again
---> Play Riff 1 + 2 over:
And now I'm with my home team back with a good seat
I gladwick like chadwick to tell you what I mean
We're laying back on it just like good sex
Smooth yet psychodelic its called the nix hex-um
---> Play Riff 3 (x4)
---> Play Riff 5 (x2)
---> Play Riff 5 over:
The monologue of a singalong
Las vanderas de San Juan piden pannoles don
Go tell it on a mountain, then again bring a friend
You'll may begin dizzy with a sense of vertigo
---> Play Riff 1 + 2 over:
Uplifted soul from the view that I'm on nothin' but love
But love
But love in my blood sonic in the vortex
This is the hip thing
Called the Nix Hex
Dig it
---> Play Solo over Riff 3
---> Play Ending
