The music video for the song was directed by Andy Warhol and Don Munroe.[9] Warhol appeared in the video as a bartender, which was filmed at the Be-Bop Cafe in Manhattan.[10] Dianne Brill and John Sex of the downtown New York scene made cameos.[10] A then-unknown Gina Gershon also appeared in the video. Keyboardist Greg Hawkes said "I think [Warhol] mainly did some of the conceptualizing and showed up to be an extra. And he invited his various friends to be in it. It was like any video shoot, but with a more interesting cast of characters. And you could always look over on the set and go 'Hey that's Andy Warhol.'"[11] The music video explored the controversial topics of sex and violence (mostly the former) that were being featured in music videos at the time.
Hello, hello again Hello, hello again You might have forgot The journey ends You tied your knots You made your friends You left the scene Without a trace One hand on the ground One hand in space Oh, you passed on mercy You tried the rest You gave your body You gave the best Staring at the green door Living in the sky You don't want to know it You just want to fly Hello (hello), hello again Hello (hello), hello again (Hello) I know (I know you're a dreamer) Who's under the gun I know (I know you're a dreamer) Who's only just begun Hello, hello again (I say) Hello, hello again Oh, and when there's nothing Nothing left to lose You leave it all To fade to blue (You want to feel) electric (You want to feel) loose (You want to be) eclectic You want to call a truce (Look) at the profile Staring at the flame (Waiting) for the sunshine Standing in the rain Hello, hello again (I said hello) Hello, hello again. (Hello again) (I said hello) Hello (hello), hello again Hello (uh oh), hello again Hello, hello Hello, hello
