Electric Ladyland

Have you ever been (have you ever been) to Electric Ladyland?

The magic carpet waits for you so don't you be late

Oh, (I wanna show you) the different emotions

(I wanna run to) the sounds and motions

Electric woman waits for you and me

So it's time we take a ride, we can cast all of your hang-ups over

the seaside

While we fly right over the love filled sea

Look up ahead, I see the loveland, soon you'll understand.



Make love, make love, make love, make love.



The angels will spread their wings, spread their wings

Good and evil lay side by side while electric love penetrates the sky

Lord, Lord I wanna show you

Hmm, hmmm, hmmm

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

And set me on a eagles back

You think you were losing your mind, hmmm...

Way down in California

And the n New York drowns as we hold hands



'Cause I'm a voodoo chile

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 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!

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

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

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

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

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

Moon, Turn The Tides... Gently Gently Away

So down and down and down and down

And down and down we go

Hurry my darling we mustn't be late

For the show

Neptune champion games to an aqua

World is so very dear

Right this way smiles a mermaid

I can hear atlantis full of cheer.



Atlantis full of cheer

I could hear atlantis full of cheer

Lord thank you

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

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back

Oh yeah !



Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and dream on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and dream on a rainy day

Lay back and, lay back, lay back, lay back and groove.



Ooh

Aaaah !



Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and dream on a rainy day.



Still rainin' still dreamin'

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

No one will level on the line

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

ell, i stand up next to a mountain

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



Yeah 



'Cause i'm a voodoo child

Lord knows i'm a voodoo child baby

I want to say one more last thing

I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time

I'll give it right back to ya one of these days 



Hahaha



I said i didn't mean to take up all your sweet time 

I'll give it right back one of these days 



Oh yeah

And don't be late
