Lyrics and translation
Original
One, two. One, two, three, and. . .
Everybody laughs and everybody cries. Everybody lives and everybody dies.
Everybody eats and everybody loves. Everybody knows what everybody does.
Everybody's going through the changes.
Every complication.
What you say with gesture and expression in my imagination.
Every mobile phone in every restaurant.
Everyone we know and everything you want.
Everybody wonders what you're gonna do.
Everything is close, so everything is true. Everybody's starting everything again.
Everybody's outside, now they're coming in.
Everybody's going through the garbage, looking for inspiration.
Some will find it staring at the ceiling of the subway station.
Everyone you love in every kind of way.
Everything you know in every single face.
Every change of heart and every saving grace.
Every song we sing in every kind of place.
Everybody looks and everybody sees. Everybody's asking everybody please.
Everybody's going everywhere at once. Everybody's backside, everybody's front.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah.
Ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Ooh, ooh. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Ooh, ooh.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Everybody dances, everybody stops. Everybody wants what everybody's got.
Everybody wonders what you're gonna do. Everybody's wearing everybody's shoes.
