Hank Green & the Perfect Strangers - Hug Scream lyrics

Sometimes you've gotta do Something you don't wanna do It penatrates, it terrifies Straight down deep into you But you can't run and hide Or curl up and cry No you can't let that thing be in charge of how you live your life Well I've searched for years and years for just one thing That'll make me feel OK before I get on stage and sing And that's the hug scream, hug scream Everybody hug scream Gotta hug and a scream Will you do it with me? Gotta hug scream Yeah hug scream, hug scream Everybody hug scream Gotta hug and a scream Will you do it with me? Gotta hug scream Hug scream with anyone It's cathardic and it's fun If you wanna try it out right now We'll tell you how it's done Chests together with a thud One arm's lower, one's above Wrap those arms around each other, this part's just a normal hug Now hold this awesome person oh so near And scream your loudest scream but not directly in their ear And that's the hug scream, hug scream Everybody hug scream Gotta hug and a scream Will you do it with me? Gotta hug scream Yeah hug scream, hug scream Everybody hug scream Gotta hug and a scream Will you do it with me? Gotta hug scream Hug screams were forced on the island of Atlantis In the debths of a volcano where a purple flame still dances A race of armadillo people worshipped magic lions But they feared their dingy lair so they never went inside them Till two of them one night overcame that fearsome fright By screaming out their armadillo lungs while holding tight The lion then transformed them, they became magic through and through And from their story we learn when you're afraid there's just one thing to do Hug scream, hug scream Everybody hug scream Gotta hug and a scream Will you do it with me? Gotta hug scream Yeah hug scream, hug scream Everybody hug scream Gotta hug and a scream Will you do it with me? Gotta hug scream Hug scream Hug scream Hug scream
