Companion Song: 13,760 Feet - My Personal Hole in the Sky
Chapter 15 – Hydraulically Actuated

lyrics

"Hey-ho, I Can't Let Go" - lyrics

(1)
Holidays and Birthdays
Are triggering events
Whenever one sneaks up on me
It makes my body tense
Those calendar reminders
Don’t make a lot of sense

(chorus)
Hey-ho, I can’t let go
I’m pumped too tight
and I don’t feel right
Hey-ho, I can’t let go
I’m dynamite
And I’m about to blow

(2)
Emotions that we bury
We bury still alive
Somewhere deep inside of me
They’re growing and survive
They’re trying to take over me
They’re buried yet they thrive

(chorus)
Hey-ho, I can’t let go
I’m pumped too tight
and I don’t feel right
Hey-ho, I can’t let go
I’m dynamite
And I’m about to blow

(3)
Combat soldiers, football players
And fighters in a cage
Someone running from a mountain lion
Should feel this kind of rage
If you tried to take my blood pressure
You’d prob’ly break the gauge

(chorus)
Hey-ho, I can’t let go
I’m pumped too tight
and I don’t feel right
Hey-ho, I can’t let go
I’m dynamite
And I’m about to blow

(alternate chorus)
Hey-ho, I can’t let go
I’m hydraulically
Pure T-N-T
Hey-ho, I can’t let go
I’m pumped too tight
And I’m about to blow
