The nix hex is on ---> Play Riff 3 (x4) ---> Play Riff 1 + 2 over: Would everybody just look at the hook I took it strait 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 us ---> 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 ????? Line up your ways of ????? I'm thinking ????? ---> 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 Were laying back on it just like good sex Smooth yet physcodelic its called the nix hex-um ---> Play Riff 3 (x4) ---> Play Riff 5 (x2) ---> Play Riff 5 over: The monologue of a singalong Life's vendetta ????? Go tell it on a mountain ,then again bring a friend You'll maybe get dizzy with a scence 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 == Last Updated: October 7, 1996 ==
