"Hey Pete" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their second album The Origin of the Feces, released in 1992. It is the original version unlike five other tracks on the album. It is the cover of "Hey Joe" written by Billy Roberts and was most famously recorded by Jimi Hendrix for their first album Are You Experienced. "Hey Pete", in which the lyrics was edited from "Hey Joe" by Peter Steele, is about planning on escaping to Brighton Beach after killing his girlfriend with an ax after being fucked by another man.

There is also Pete's Ego Trip version of "Hey Pete" that is included as bonus track exclusive to the remastered version of the prior album Slow, Deep and Hard that was released after the regular version was included on The Origin of the Feces. Not so Pete's ego trip version can only be found on Least Worst Of compilation. And these lyrics are way off.

Lyrics[]

Hey Peter, where you going with that axe in your hand
Hey Peter, where you going with that axe in your hand

I'm gonna kill my lady cause I caught her screwing around with some other men
I'm gonna kill my lady cause I caught her fucking around with some other men

Hey Peter, I heard you cut your woman down
Hey Peter, I heard you cut your woman down, cut her down to the ground

Last night I killed my lady cause I caught her screwing around with every guy in town
Last night I killed my lady cause I caught her screwing around all over this town

Hey Peter, where you're gonna run to now
Hey Peter, where you're gonna go

I'll take that D-train, take it down to Brighton Beach, to Bay 7
I'll take that D-train, take it down to Brighton Beach, Brighton Beach

I'll see my baby to heaven
I'll see my baby to heaven
