Electric Ladyland

Have You Ever Been ( To 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
Show you.

Crosstown Traffic

You jump in front of my car when you, you know all the time that
ninety 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, uh-huh, I can see you had your fun.
But a darlin', can't you see my signals turn from green to red
and with you I can see a traffic j am 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.

Yeh now crosstown traffic, look out, look out, baby, let me through.
Crosstown traffic yeh, look out.
Crosstown traffic yeh, look out, look out, look out.
Crosstown traffic yeh, look out, watch that street.

Voodoo Chile

Well I'm a voodoo child, Lord knows I'm a voodoo child.

Yeah!

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 see'd her fell down right dead
Well mountains lions found me there waiting
And set me on a eagle's back
Well mountains lions found me there
And set me on a eagle's wing
It's the eagle's wing baby
What'd I say !
Well ah he took me past the outskirts of infinity
And when he brought me back, he gave me Venus witch's ring.

Hey!
And he said fly on
Fly on, 'cause I'm a voodoo chile baby
Voodoo chile.
Hey !

Yeah !

Well I make love to you
And Lord knows you feel no pain
Yeah !
Say I make love to you in your sleep
And Lord knows you felt no pain
Have mercy babe
'Cause I'm a million miles away
And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame.

Yeah !
What'd I say now!
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child.
Yeah !

Yeah
Well my arrows are made of desire, from far away is Jupiter sulpher mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire, from far away is Jupiter sulpher
mines
Way down by the Methane sea
I have a hummin' bird that'll hum so loud, you'd think you were ah loosin' your
mind.

Yeah, yeah !

Well I float in liquid gardens
And Arizona new red sand
Yeah !
I'm floatin' in liquid gardens
Way down in Arizona red sand
Well I'll taste the honey from a flower named blue
Way down in California and the New York drowns as we held hands.

Yeah !
Hey !
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child.
Yeah !

Hey, hey, hey, hey !

Hey !

Little Miss Strange

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, come 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 and stood beneath the lights.
I'm talkin'bout the dream I had the other night.
Little Miss Strange, Little Miss Strange.

Long Hot Summer Night

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'

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

Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)

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.
Hey!

Some many people live in make believe

But my love baby isn't the kind that fold

Oh mama let me thrill your soul

Gypsy Eyes

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 !

Burning Of The Midnight Lamp

The morning is dead and the day, is, too.
The step is up 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 hanging on my frowning wall
It really doesn't really doesn't bother me too much at all
It's just the ah ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see
that forgotten earring clear on the floor facing coolly the one at the door

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.
Yeah yeah.
Lonely lonely lonely.
Ah. Oh. Loneliness is such a drag.

So here I sit to face that same old fire place
getting' ready for the same old explosion goin' through my mind.
Yes, soon enough time will tell about the circus in the wishing well
and someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will tow my bail

And I continue to burn the same old lamp alone
Yeah midnight lamp,
Can you hear me callin' you?
So lonely. Gotta blow my mine
Yeah, yeah. Lonely lonely.

Rainy Day, Dream Away

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.
