PURPLE
HAZE
(Jimmy
Hendrix)
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just 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 comin'
up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
What ever it is, that girl
put a spell on me
Help me
Help me
Oh, no, no
[faint, spoken lyrics...all
questionable]
Hammerin'
Talkin' 'bout heart 'n'...s-soul
I'm talkin' about hard stuff
If everbodys still around,
fluff and ease, if
So far out my mind
Somethings happening, somethings
happening
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, {click} ahhh,
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh, YEAH!
Purple haze all in my eyes,
uhh
Don't know if its day or
night
You got me blowin', blowin'
my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just
the end of time?
Ooo
Help me
Ahh, yea-yeah, purple haze,
yeah
Oh, no, oh
Oh, help me
Purple haze, Tell me, baby,
tell me
I can't go on like this
Purple haze
You're makin' me blow my
mind...mama
Purple haze, n-no, nooo
Purple haze, no, its painful,
baby. |
BURNING
OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP
(Jimmy
Hendrix)
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. |
RAINY
DAY DREAM AWAY
(Jimmy
Hendrix)
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. |
HOUSE
BURNING DOWN
(Jimmy
Hendrix)
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. |
