Jimi Hendrix [Guitar]

A fifty years they've been married,
And they can't wait for the fifty first to roll around.
Yeah, Roll around.
A thirty years they've been married,
And now they're old and happy and they settle down,
Settle down. Yeah!
Twenty years they've been married,
And they did everything that could be done.
You know that happened.
(Spoken) And then, you come along and talk about....

(Sung) So you, you say you wanna be married.
I'm gonna change your mind.
(Spoken) That was the good side baby..........here
comes the bad side.

Ten years they've been married
And hundred kids run around hungry
'cause their mother's a louse
Daddy's down at the whiskey house
That ain't all.

For three years they've been married
They don't get along so good
They're tired of each other, you know how that goes
Huh! Same old thing.

So now you're seventeen
Running around, hanging out...having your fun
Life for you has just begun, baby.

And then you come saying
So you... you say you wanna be married
Oh, baby, trying to put me on a chain
Ain't that some shame
You must be losing your...sshh-hm...sweet little mind
I ain't ready yet, baby, I ain't ready
I'm gonna change your mind.

If you can get your mind together
then come across to me
We'll hold hands an' then we'll watch the sun rise
from the bottom of the sea
But first

Are You Experienced?
Ah! Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have

I know, I know
you'll probably scream n' cry
That your little world won't let go
But who in your measly little world are trying to
prove that
You're made out of gold and -a can't be sold

So-er, Are You Experienced?
Ah! Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have

Ah, let me prove it to you
I think they're calling our names
Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will
if you just take hold of my hand

Ah! But Are You Experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?

Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful

Can you see me blaming you on my knees?
Whoa yeah
Can you see me, baby,
Baby, please don't leave.
Yeah, if you can see me doing that you can
see in the future of a thousand years.

Can you hear me
crying all over town?
Wo yeh.
Can you hear me, baby,
crying 'cos you put me down?
If you can hear me doing that you can
hear a freight train coming from a thousand miles.

Can you hear me
singing this song to you?
(Oh, you gotta listen to me, baby)
Can you hear me, baby,
singing this song to you?
If you can hear me sing
you better come home like you s'posed to.

Can you hear me?
Hey, hey.
I don't believe you can hear me,
Wo yeah.
Can You See Me, baby.
I don't believe you can.

Alright,
Now dig this, baby

You don't care for me
I don'-a care about that
You got a new fool, ha!
I like it like that

I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire

Yeah, baby

Listen here, baby
And stop acting so crazy
You say your mum ain't home,

Just play with me and you won't get burned

I have only one itching desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire

Oh! Move over, Rover
And let Jimi take over

Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout
Yeah, get on with it, baby

That's what I'm talking 'bout
Now dig this!
Ha!
Now listen, baby

You better save it, babe
Save it for your rainy day

I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire

I'm going down to shoot my lady
You know I caught her

And that ain't too cool

Hey Joe, I heard

You shot her down now
Hey Joe, I heard

You shot her down in the ground

Yes, I did, I shot her
You know I caught her messing around
Messing around town

Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now

Way down where I can be free
Ain't no one gonna find me
Ain't no hang-man gonna
He ain't gonna put a rope around me

You better believe it right now
I gotta go now
Hey Joe, you better run on down
Goodbye everybody
Hey hey Joe

(Spoken) His guitar swung across his back,
His dusty boots, and its his Cadillac,
A pavement here just a blowing in the wind,
Ain't see a bed in so long it's a sin,

He left home when he was seventeen,
The rest of the world he longed to see,
And everybody who knows, boss,
a rolling stone gathers no moss!

Chorus:
Now you probably call him a tramp,
but it goes a little deeper than that!
He's a ...Highway Chile!

Verse 2

Now some people say he had a girl back home
Who messed him around and did him pretty wrong
They me tell it kind of hurt him bad
Kinda made him feel pretty sad.

I couldn't say what went thru the fire
Anyway, he left the world behind
And everybody knows the same old story:
Another war you can't lose in glory

(Chorus)

Will I live tomorrow?
Well I just can't say.
Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say.

But I know for sure
I Don't Live Today.

No sun coming through my windows,
feel like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave.
No sun coming through my windows,
feel like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave.

I wish you'd hurry up 'n' rescue me
so I can be on my mis'rable way

I Don't Live Today;
It's such a shame to waste your time away like this.

Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say.
Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say
I know for sure
I Don't Live Today.

Is that the stars in the sky or is it raining far from now?
Will it burn me if I touch the sun,
so big, so round?
Will I be truthful, yeah,
in choosing you as the one for me?

Is this love baby,
or is it-a just confusion?

Oh, my mind is so mixed up, goin' round 'n' round...
Must there be all these colors without names,
without sounds?
My heart burns with feelin' but
Oh! but my mind is cold and reeling.
Is this love, baby
or is it confusion?

Oh, my head is pounding pounding
going 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round.
Must there always be these colors?

Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want
But I just don't know how to go about getting it

Feeling, sweet feeling
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is captured my soul, yeah

Woman so willing the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's-a all the same when it's, when it's over

Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Wow

Well, I think I'll go turn myself off an' uh, go on down
All the way down
Really ain't no use in me hanging around, oh, I gotta see you

Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress and uh, kiss, kiss
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Wow
Yeah
Ow

Music, sweet music
Music
Depression

Waterfall, nothing can harm me at all,
my worries seem so very small
with my waterfall.

I can see my rainbow calling me
through the misty breeze
of my waterfall.

Some people say day-dreaming's
for the lazy minded fools
with nothing else to do.

So let them laugh, laugh at me,
so just as long as I have you
to see me through,
I have nothing to lose 'long as I have you.

Waterfall, don't ever choose your ways.
Come with me for a million days,
Oh, my waterfall.

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things they don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm coming up or down
Am I happy or in misery
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me, help me, oh no!

Yeah, purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowing, blowing my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time

Ooh, help me, oh yeah, oh no!

There's a red house over yonder
That's where my baby stays
Lord, there's a red house over yonder, baby
Oh, that's where my baby stays
I ain't been home to see my baby
In ninety-nine and one half days

Wait a minute, something's wrong here
The key won't unlock this door
Wait a minute, something's wrong
Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door, something's going wrong here
I have a bad, bad feeling
My baby don't live here no more
That's alright, I still got my guitar
Look out, now

Well, I might as well uh, go on back down
Way back upon the hill
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder 'cross the hill
Guess if my baby don't love me no more
I know her sister will

Oh, remember the mocking bird,
my baby bun,
He used to sing for his supper baby.

Yes, he use to sing for his supper babe,
He used to sing so sweet,
since my baby left me,
he ain't sang in two long days.

Oh, remember the blue birds and the honey bees,
They used to sing for the sunshine.
Yes, they used to sing for the flowers,
They used to sing so sweet.

But-a, since my baby left me,
they ain't sang in two long days.

Hey! Pretty baby, come on back to me.
Make everybody happy as can be.
So baby, if you'll please come home again,
you know I'll kiss you for my supper,
You know I'll kiss you for my dinner baby, yeah!

But-a if you don't come back you know I'll have to
starve to death,
'Cos I ain't had one kiss all day now.
Please remember, you got to remember,
you got to remember our love.

Come back, come on back in my arms,
I'll make everything that better.
(Come on baby, hurry up now)
(Can you hear me calling you back, Come on baby,
stop jiving around, Hurry home, hurry home)

Every day in the week, I'm in a different city
If I stay too long, people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog, talkin' 'bout the clothes I wear
But they don't realize they're the ones who's square

Hey, and that's why
You can't hold me down
I don't want to be down
I gotta move on, ow!

Stone free, to do what I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
I got to, got to, got to get away right now
Yeah
Alright
Listen to this, baby

A woman here, a woman there, try to keep me in a plastic cage
But they don't realize it's so easy to break
Oh, but sometimes I get hot, I can feel my heart kinda runnin' hot
That's when I got to move before I get caught

Hey, and that's why, listen to me, baby
You can't hold me down
I don't want to be tied down
I gotta be free, ow!

I said stone free, do what I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
Got to, got to, got to get away
Yeah, ow
Tear me loose, baby

Yeah
Ow
Uh
Hey

I said stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, do what I please
Stone free, I can't stay
Stone free, I got to, I got to get away

Stone free (I'm gonna leave her right now)
Stone free (Don't try to hold me back, ow)
Stone free (I'm goin' on down the highway, yeah)
Stone free

Stone free (Move it on, bye, bye baby, ow)
Stone free

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red

And the wind whispers, "Mary"

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere, a queen is weeping
Somewhere, a king has no wife

And the wind, it cries, "Mary"

The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cause the life that lived is dead

And the wind screams, "Mary"

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past?
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last"

And the wind cries, "Mary"

Oh strange beautiful grass of green
with your majestic silken scenes
Your mysterious mountains
I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine

Although your world wonders me
with your majestic superior cackling hen
Your people I do not understand
So to you I wish to put an end
And you'll never hear surf music again

Well, there ain't no,
Ain't no
Ain't no telling, baby
When you will see me again, but I pray
It will be tomorrow.

Well, the sunrise
Sunrise
Is burning my eyes, baby
I must leave now, but I really hope
To see you tomorrow

Well my house is, oh, such a sad mile away,
The feeling there always hangs up my day
Oh, Cleopatra, She's driving me insane,
She's trying to put my body in her brain.
So just kiss me goodbye, just to ease the pain.
Ain't no
Ain't no
Ain't no telling baby
Ain't no telling babe
Ain't no telling baby when you're gonna see me, but I really hope
It will be tomorrow
You know what I'm talking 'bout.
Ain't no telling
Sorry, but I must leave now

Anger!

He smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters, taken for granted
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on

But they're all bold as love
They're all bold as love
Yeah, they're all bold as love
Just ask the axis

My red is so confident, he flashes trophies of war
And ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young and full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go around

My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say
It's frightened like me, and all these emotions of mine
Keep holding me from giving my life to a rainbow like you

But I'm a, yeah
I'm bold as love, yeah, yeah
Well, I'm bold, bold as love
Hear me talking, girl
I'm bold as love
Just ask the axis
He knows everything
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Down the street, you can hear her scream, "You're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool

He cries, "Oh girl, you must be mad
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene
And his tears fall and burn on the garden green

And so castles made of sand
Fall in the sea
Eventually

A little Indian brave who before he was ten
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
And he built a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fierce warrior Indian chief

Many moons passed 'fore the dream grew strong
Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong
Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand
Melts into the sea
Eventually

There was a young girl whose heart was a frown
Because she was crippled for life, and she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living
So she decided to die

She drove her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled, "You won't hurt me no more"
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"

And it really didn't ever stop
It just kept on going

And so castles made of sand
Slips into the sea
Eventually

[Announcer:] Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to radio station EXP.
Tonight we are featuring an interview
with a very peculiar looking gentleman
who goes by the name of Mr. Paul
Corusoe on the dodgy subject of are
there or are there not flying saucers
or UFOs? Please Mr. Corusoe, please
could you give us your regarded
opinion on this nonsense about
spaceships and even space people?
[Mr. Corusoe:] Thank you As you well know

If the sun refuse to shine
I don't mind
I don't mind
If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be
It ain't me

'Cause I got my own world to look through
And I ain't gonna copy you

Now if six turned out to be nine
I don't mind
I don't mind
If all the hippies cut off all their hair
I don't care
I don't care, dig

'Cause I got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you

White collared conservative flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me, huh
They're hoping soon, my kind will drop and die
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high, oh!

Wave on, wave on

Fall mountains, just don't fall on me
Go ahead on, Mr. Businessman, you can't dress like me

...I got my own life to live
I'm the one that's going to die when it's time for me to die
?So let me live my life
?The way I want to

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.
When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.
Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

Golden rose, the colour of the dream I had
Not too long ago
A misty blue and the lilac too
A never to grow old.

A there you were under the tree of song
Sleeping so peacefully
In your hand a flower played
A waiting there for me.

I have never
Laid eyes on you
Not like a before
This timeless day
A but you walked and ya ha
Once smiled my name
And you stole
My heart away
A stole my heart away little girl, yeah
All right !

Golden rose, the colour of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
A never to grow old.

Golden rose, the colour of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Golden rose, the colour of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, gold are rose, gold and rose.

It's only a dream
I'd love to tell somebody about this dream
The sky was filled with a thousand stars
While the sun kissed the mountains blue
And eleven moons played across rainbows
Above me and you.
Gold and rose the colour of the velvet walls surround us.

She walks with a bell-clock round her neck
So the hippies think she's in with time
Time...
Her hair glistens like robins on a deck
Branches attack me from her neck

She's so fine
She's so very very fine

The sun from a cloud sinks into her eyes
The rain from a tree soaks into her mind
Mind...
Morning sign sounds just like a lock
All these signs are always a stock

She's so fine
She's so very very fine

When I veer I get so near
But so far far far away
Listen to me today

We united just beside a leaf
The ground was hard underneath her her

Ahhh ahhh
She's so fine
Ahhh ahhh

It's very far away
It takes about half a day
To get there
If we travel by my... Dragonfly

No it's not in Spain
But all the same
You know
It's a groovy name
And the wind's just right
Hey

Hang on my darling
Hang on if you want to go
You know it's really groovy place
And it's just a little bit of a Spanish castle magic

The clouds are really low
And they overflow
With cotton candy
And battle grounds
Red and brown

But it's all in your mind
Don't think your time
On bad things
Just float your little mind around
Look out

Hang on my darling yeah
Hang on if you want to go
It puts everything else on the shelf
With just a little bit of Spanish castle magic
Yeah baby

Hang on my darling yeah
Hang on, hang on if you want to go
It puts everything else on the shelf
With just a little bit of Spanish castle magic
Hey
Its all in your mind
A little bit of daydream here and there

I just want to talk to you. I won't uh, do you no harm,
I just want to know about your different lives, on
this here people farm.

I heard some of you got your families, living in
cages tall & cold,
And some just stay there and dust away, past the
age of old.
Is this true? Please let me talk to you.

I just wanna know about, the rooms behind
your minds,
Do I see a vacuum there, or am I going blind?
Or is it just remains from vibrations and echoes
long ago,
Things like 'Love the World' and 'Let your fancy
flow',
Is this true? Please let me talk to you. Let me
talk to you.

I have lived here before, the days of ice,
And of course this is why I'm so concerned,
And I come back to find the stars misplaced
and the smell of a world that has burned.

The smell of a world that has burned.

Well, maybee, maybe it's just a change of
climate.
I can dig it, I can dig it baby, I just want to see.

So where do I purchase my ticket,
I would just like to have a ringside seat,
I want to know about the new Mother Earth,
I want to hear and see everything,
I want to hear and see everything,
I want to hear and see everything.
Aw, shucks,
If my daddy could see me now.

Well I'm standing here freezing
Inside your golden garden
Got my ladder leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on Dolly Mae there's no time to stall
But now you're telling me
I think we better wait 'til tomorrow
Yeah, yeah
I think we better wait 'til tomorrow
Girl what you talkin' about
I think we better wait 'til tomorrow

Got to make sure it's right
So until tomorrow goodnight
Oh what a drag

Oh Dolly Mae, how can you hang me out this way
On the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm standing here like some
Turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed-up mind of you
And you keep telling me that ah
I think we better wait 'til tomorrow
What are you talkin' about
I think we better wait 'til tomorrow
Ah, I can't wait that long
I think we better wait 'til tomorrow

Got to make sure it's right
So until tomorrow goodnight
See if I can talk to this girl a little bit

Oh Dolly Mae girl you must be insane
So unsure of yourself
Leaning from you unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing
Something from a tree
Click bang
Oh what a hang your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say as I fade away

We don't have to wait till tomorrow
Hey
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
What you say
We don't have to wait till tomorrow

It must not have been right
So forever goodnight

We don't have to wait till tomorrow
Do I have to wait do I have to wait
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It's a drag on my part
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
Don't have to wait don't have to wait

You got me floatin' round and round,
Always up, you never let me down
The amazing thing, you turn me on naturally,
And I kiss you when I please.

You got me floatin' round and round,
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

You got me floatin' across and through
You make me float right on up to you
There's only one thing I need to really get me there,
Is to hear you laugh without a care.

You got me floatin' round and round,
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

You got me floatin' round and round,
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

Now your Daddy's cool, and your Mamma's no fool,
They both know I'm heads over heels for you,
And when the day melts down into a sleepy red glow,
That's when my desires start to show.

You got me floatin' round and round,
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please.

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody offered his word, hey!

No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke, but, uh
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey!

Hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants too
Well, uh, outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey!

All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower

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

And I got better things on the other side of town

And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

Yeah

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces
and make an island
Might even raise a little sand

Lord knows I’m a voodoo child baby
I want to say one more last thing

Hey hey hey

I’m a voodoo child baby
I don’t take no for an answer

Question no
Yeah

Hurrah I awake from yesterday
Alive but the war is here to stay
So my love catherina and me
Decide to take our last walk
Through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to be re-born
Away from a life so battered and torn....
Forever...
Oh say can you see its really such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lip-stick tube shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
And the arctic stains
From silver blue to bloody red
As our feet find the sand
And the sea is strait ahead..
Strait ahead.....
Well its too bad
That our friends
Cant be with us today
Well thats too bad
“The machine
That we built
Would never save us”
That’s what they say
(That’s why they aint coming with us today)
And they also said
“It’s impossible for man
To live and breath underwater..
Forever” was their main complaint
(Yeah)
And they also threw this in my face:
They said
Anyway
You know good well
It would be beyond the will of God
And the grade of the King
(Grace of the King yeah yeah)

So my darling and I
Make love in the sand
To salute the last moment
Ever on dry land
Our machine has done its work
Played its part well
Without a scratch on our bodies
And we bid it farewell

Starfish and giant foams
Greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under
We take a last look
At the killing noise
Of the out of style...
The out of style, out of style

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

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said a joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they, they drink my wine
Ploughmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey, hey

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

Hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too, but, uh
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approachin'
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
Ooh, baby
All along the watchtower

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 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, 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 serpents in the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me
Someone to toll my bell
And I continue
To burn the same ol' lamp, alone
Yeah!
Darlin', can't ya hear me callin' you?
So lonely
Gonna blow my mind
Yeah, yeah, lonely, lonely...

People talkin’ but they just don’t know,
What’s in my heart, and why I love you so.
I love you baby like a miner loves gold.
Come on sugar, let the good times roll.
(Let the good times roll).

So many people live in make believe,
They keep a lot a going up their sleeves.
But my love baby is no kind that folds.
Come On Baby, let the good times roll.
(Let the good times roll).

Let the good times roll
Oh come on baby
Come on baby andlet daddy do you so
Hey yeah, baby let the good times roll

A love is nice if it’s understood
It’s even nicer when you’re feelin’ good
You got me flippin’ like flag on a pole
Come on sugar, let the good times roll

Let the good times roll
Hey!
Let the good times roll
Let me show a baby
Let the good times roll

The tears in your eyes look like

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

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

So I stood on my horse’s back an’

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

A giant boat from space landed
with eerie grace
And came and taken all the dead away.

Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !

I can tell by looking in her eyes.

I don’t know just what to ask her
I don’t remember what we did after.

I’m talkin’
