You jump in front of my car when you,
you know all the time that
Ninty miles an hour, girl,
is the speed I drive
You tell me it’s alright,
you don’t mind a little pain
You say you just want me
to take you for a ride

You’re just like crosstown traffic
So hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I don’t need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
And I’m tryin’ to get
on the other side of town

I’m not the only soul
who’s accused of hit and run
Tire tracks all across your back
I can see you had your fun
But darlin’ can’t you see
my signals turn from green to red
And with you I can see a traffic jam
straight up ahead

You’re just like crosstown traffic
So hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I don’t need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
And I got better things
on the other side of town
Yeah! yeah!
Crosstown traffic

Well, I’m a voodoo chile
Lord I’m a voodoo chile

Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out
“lord, the gypsy was right!”
And I seen her fell down right dead
(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin’
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(Its’ the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witch’s ring
Hey!
And he said “Fly on, fly on”
Because I’m a voodoo chile, baby,
voodoo chile
Hey!

Well, I make love to you,
And lord knows you’ll feel no pain
Say, I make love to you in your sleep,
And lord knows you felt no pain
(Have mercy)
‘Cause I’m a million miles away
And at the same time I’m right here
in your picture frame
(Yeah! What did I say now)
‘Cause I’m a voodoo chile
Lord knows I’m a voodoo chile

Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
(Way down by the Methabe Sea, yeah)
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud,
You think you were losing your mind,
hmmm...

Well I float in liquid gardens
And Arizona new red sand
(Yeah)
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in Arizona red sand

Well, I taste the honey
from a flower named Blue,
Way down in California
And the n New York drowns
as we hold hands

‘Cause I’m a voodoo chile
Lord knows I’m a voodoo chile
Yeah!

No one knows where she comes from
Maybe she’s a devil in disguise
I can tell by looking in her eyes.

Little miss strange
Little miss strange.

Little miss strange came into my parlor
I don’t know just what to ask her
I don’t remember what we did after.

Little miss strange
Little miss strange.

Little miss strange came
out of the darkness
Walked across my head,
I stood beneath the light
I’m talkin’
‘bout the dream I had the other night.

Little miss strange
Little miss strange

It sure was a long long long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
Well my heart was way
down in a cold cold winter storm.

Well my darlin’ where can you be?
Where can you be baby?
Where can you be?

There was three sugar walls
and a two candy cane windows
But the serious mood melted
ah all those insight
Everybody’s on fire
but I’m uh snowin’ in a cold blizzard.

Where are you on this
ah hot cold summer?
Where are you on this
ah hot cold summer?
Where are you on this
ah hot cold summer night?

Around about this time
the telephone blew its horn across the room
Scared little Annie clean out of her mind
and I tell ya
Roman the Candle he peeps
out of his peekaboo hide and seek
And grabbed little Annie
from the ceiling just in time
And the telephone keeps on screamin’.
Yeah yeah yeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Hello said my shaked voice,
well how you doin’ I start to stutter look
ah can’t cha tell I’m ah doin’
fine There was my baby talkin’
she’s way down ‘cross the border.

She says I’m gonna hurry to ya
I’ve been a fool
And I’m tired of cryin’
Said I’m tired Jimi.

Yes a long long long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
But I can ah feel the heat comin’ on
as my baby’s gettin’ closer.

I’m so glad that my baby’s comin’ to rescue me
So glad that my baby’s comin’ to rescue me
So glad that my baby’s comin’ to rescue me
Rescue, rescue me, rescue
Rescue me, rescue
Rescue, rescue, What’d I say
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue, rescue me, rescue
Rescue me

Well I realize that I’ve been hypnotized,
I love your gypsy eyes
I love your gypsy eyes
Alright!

Hey!
Gypsy.

Way up in my tree I’m sitting by my fire
Wond’rin’ where in this world might you be
And knowin’ all the time
you’re still roamin’ in the country side
Do you still think about me?
Oh my gypsy.

Well I walked right on to your rebel roadside
The one that rambles on for a million miles
Yes I walk down this road searchin’ for
your love and ah my soul too
But when I find ya I ain’t gonna let go.

I remember the first time I saw you
The tears in your eyes look like
they’re tryin’ to say
Oh little boy you know I could love you
But first I must make my get away
Two strange men fightin’ to the death
over me today
I’ll try to meet cha by the old highway.
Hey!

Well I realize that I’ve been hypnotized,
I love your gypsy eyes
I love your gypsy eyes
I love your gypsy eyes
I love your gypsy eyes
Alright!

I’ve been searchin’ so long
my feet have made me lose the battle
Down against the road
my weary knees they got me
Off to the side I fall but I hear a sweet call
My gypsy eyes is comin’
and I’ve been saved.

Oh I’ve been saved
That’s why I love you uh
Said I love you
Hey!
Love you uh
Lord I love you
Hey!

The morning is dead
And the day is, too
There’s nothing left here to meet me
But the velvet moon
All my loneliness I have felt today
It’s like a little more than enough
To make a man throw himself away

And I continue
To burn the midnight lamp
Alone

Now the smiling portrait of you
Is still hangin’ on my frowning wall
It really doesn’t, really doesn’t bother
me too much at all
It’s just the ever falling dust
That makes it so hard for me to see
That forgotten earring layin’ on the floor
Facing coldly towards the door

I continue
To burn the midnight lamp
Lord, alone

Loneliness is such a drag

So here I sit to face
That same old fire place
Gettin’ ready for the same old explosion
Goin’ through my mind
And soon enough time will tell,
About the circus in the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me
Someone to toll my bell

But I continue
To burn the midnight lamp
Lord, alone
Darlin’ can’t ya hear me callin’ you?
So lonely
Gonna have to blow my mind
Lonely

Hey man, take a look out the window ‘n’ see what’s happ’nin’
Hey man, it’s rainin’
It’s rainin’ outside man
Aw, don’t worry ‘bout that
Everything’s gonna be everything
We’ll get into somethin’ real nice you know
Sit back and groove on a rainy day
Yeah
Yeah I see what you mean brother, lay back and groove.

Rainy day, dream away
Ah let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe an’ ah see the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day.

Well I can see a bunch of wet creatures, look at them on the run
The carnival traffic noise it sings the tune splashing up ‘n’
Even the ducks can groove rain bathin’ in the park side pool
And I’m leanin’ out my window sill diggin’ ev’rything
And ah and you too.

Rainy day, rain all day
Ain’t no use in gettin’ uptight
Just let it groove its own way
Let it drain your worries away yeah
Lay back and groove on a rainy day hey
Lay back and dream on a rainy day

Rainy day, rain all day

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red
Somebody’s house is burnin’
down down, down down
Down, down, down.

Well I asked my friend
where is that black smoke comin’ from ?
He just coughed and changed the subject
and said oh wa I think it might
snow some
So I left him sippin’ his tea an’
I jumped in my chariot
And rode off to see just why
and who could it be this time.

Sisters and brothers daddys
mothers standin’ ‘round cryin’
When I reached the scene
the flames were makin’ a ghostly whine
So I stood on my horse’s back an’
I screamed without a crack
I say oh baby why’d you burn
your brother’s house down ?

Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !

Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
Somebody’s house is burnin’
down down, down down
Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
Somebody’s house is burnin’
down down, down down down.

Well someone stepped from the crowd
he was nineteen miles high
He shouts retired and disgusted
so we paint red through the sky
I said the truth is straight ahead
so don’t burn yourself instead
Try to learn instead of burn,
hear what I say, yeah, yeah.

So I fin’ly rode away
but I’ll never forget that day
‘Cause when I reached the valley
I looked way down cross the way
A giant boat from space landed
with eerie grace
And came and taken all the dead away.

Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !

What’d I say.
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
Somebody’s house is burning
down down, down down
Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord
Somebody’s house is burning
down down, down down
Look at the sky, look at the sky.

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh baby

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the theif
There’s too much confusion
I can’t get no relief
Business men they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the wine
Nobody of it is worth

No reason to get exited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I we’ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talking falsely now
The hour’s getting late
Hey

All along the watchtower
The princess kept the view
While all the women came
And went bare feet servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were aproaching
And the wind began to howl

Hey
Oh
All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
Yeah, Oh baby
All along the watchtower

A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey!

All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower
