“Oak fire running through my brain
Everybody looks just about the same“

Oak fire running through my brain
Everybody looks just about the same
Oak fire running through my mind
Everybody, everybody’s alright
Everybody’s alrightOak fire running through my brain
Everybody looks just about the same
Oak fire running through my mind
Everybody, everybody’s alright
Everybody’s alrightI don’t know, I know
Though my nose, my nose is going to go (?)
But it just doesn’t matter
Long as there, there is laughter
Oh, I know, my nose is going to go (?)Oak fire running through my brain
Everybody looks just about the same
Oak fire running through my mind
Everybody, everybody’s alright
Everybody’s alrightI don’t know, I know
Though my nose, my nose is going to go (?)
But it just doesn’t matter
Long as there, there is laughter
Oh, I know, my nose is going to go (?)Songwriter: Lee Michaels
Thanks to A Unique Title For Me for hosting this challenge. It’s so much fun!
That is so weird, as I searched for the lyrics also and there were a lot of websites that said they don’t have them. I am sure what you have is very close, as he has a distinctive voice that is not hard to understand. Great song, glad to have you here.

I think you did a fine job. Lee’s voice is quite clear and those seem to be the words he sings. As far as what the song is about… it certainly sounds cryptic and I thought that it was a drug reference (he has a number of such references in his songs). Sure enough, a few years ago, Manifesto Records released a box set of all his A&M albums and in the booklet, Lee explains to the interviewer that the song was about cocaine. It’s a song that he clearly liked very much, because it was a mainstay at all his concerts throughout the ’70s.

Sorry I took so long to respond. Thank you for this. I always liked this song, but I also always thought it probably was a drug reference.
