Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland) lyrics - Jimi Hendrix

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 you) The sounds and motions

Electric woman waits for you and me

So it's time we take a ride

You can cast all your hang-ups over the side

While we fly right over the love-filled sea

Look up ahead, I see the loveland

Soon you'll understand, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Make love, make love)

(Make love, make love)

(I wanna show you)

The angels will spread their wings

Spread their wings

(I wanna show you)

Good and evil lay side by side

While electric love penetrates the sky

(I wanna show you) Lord, Lord, Lord

I wanna show you

(I wanna show you) Hmm-hmm-hmm

(I wanna show you) Show you

(I wanna show you) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Crosstown Traffic lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

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 drive

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 trying 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, I can see you had your fun

But uh, darling 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've got better things on the other side of town

Yeah, yeah

(Crosstown traffic)

(Yeah, look out) Look out!

Look out, baby, coming through

(Crosstown traffic)

Yeah, yeah (Yeah, look out)

(Crosstown traffic)

Yeah (Yeah, look out)

Look out, look out, baby

(Crosstown traffic)

(Yeah, look out)

What's that on the street?

Move over (Crosstown traffic)

(Yeah, look out) Yeah!

(Crosstown traffic)

(Yeah, look out)

Voodoo Chile lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Well, I'm a voodoo chile

Lord, I'm a voodoo chile

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've seen her, fell down right dead

(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waiting

And set me on a eagle's back (oh, Lord)

Well, mountain lions found me there

And set me on a eagle's wing (yeah)

(It's the eagle's wing baby, what did I say)

Well uh, he took me past to the outskirts of infinity

And when he brought me back

He gave me a Venus witch's ring

Hey! (yeah) and he said "Fly on, fly on"

Because I'm a voodoo chile baby

Voodoo chile, hey!

Yeah!

Well, I make love to you

And Lord knows you'll feel no pain, yeah

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

Yeah!

Yeah, well my arrows are made of desire

From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines

Say my arrows are made of desire, desire

From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines

Way down by the Methane Sea, yeah

I have a hummingbird and it hums so loud

You think you were losing your mind, hmm

Turn that damn guitar down

Well I float in liquid gardens

And Arizona new red sand

(Yeah)

I float in liquid gardens

Way down in Arizona red sand (yeah now, baby)

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue

Way down in California

And the New York drowns as we hold hands

Yeah, Hey!

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile

Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Yeah!

Little Miss Strange lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

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 talking 'bout the dream I had the other night

Little miss strange

Little miss strange

Long Hot Summer Night lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Sure was a long, long, long, hot summer night

As far as my eyes could see (yeah, yeah, yeah)

But my heart was way down

In a cold, cold winter storm

My darling, where can you be?

Where can you be, baby?

Where can you be?

There were three sugar walls and-a two candy cane windows

(Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop)

But the serious moon melted all those in sight (all those in sight)

Everybody's on fire but I'm a snowing in a cold blizzard

Where are you on this-a hot cold summer?

Where are you on this-a hot cold summer?

Where are you on this-a hot cold summer night?

Around about this time the telephone blew its horn across the room

Scared little Annie clean out of her mind, clean out of her mind

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 screaming

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Hello, says my shaky voice, well, how are you doing

I start to stutter

Ah, can't you tell I'm doing fine

It was my baby talking, she's way down across the border

She says, I'm gonna hurry to you, I've been a fool

And I'm tired of crying

Yeah, a long, long, long, hot summer night

As far as my eyes could see (as far, as far as I could see)

But I can feel the heat coming on as my baby's getting closer

I'm so glad that my baby's coming to rescue me

So glad that my baby's coming to rescue me

So glad my baby's coming to rescue me

Rescue, rescue, rescue

Rescue, rescue

Rescue, rescue, what'd I say

Rescue me, rescue me

Rescue, rescue me, rescue me

Rescue

Come On lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

People talking 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!

So many people live in make-believe

They keep a lot of dirt up their sleeves

But my love, baby, is no kind that folds

Come on, baby, let the good times roll

Hey!

Let the good times roll

Aw, let me, baby, come on and let Daddy fill your soul

Baby, let the good times roll

Oh, love is nice if it's understood

It's even nicer when you're feeling good

You got me flipping like a flag on a pole

Come on, sugar, let the good times roll

Hey!

Let the good times roll

Hey! Fill me, baby

I'm talking the good times roll

Come on and let me fill your soul

Hey, let the good times roll

Gypsy Eyes lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Well, I realize that I've been hypnotized

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

I love you, Gypsy Eyes, alright

Hey!

Gypsy

Way up in my tree, I'm sitting by my fire

Wondering where in this world might you be?

And knowing all the time

You're still roaming the countryside

Do you still think about me? Oh my

Gypsy

Well, I walked right on up to your rebel roadside

The one that rambles on for a million miles

Yes, I walk down this road searching

For your love and my soul, too

But when I find you, I ain't gonna let go

I remember the first time I saw you

The tears in your eyes looked like they were trying to say

"Oh, little boy, you know I could love you

But first, I must make my getaway

Two strange men fighting to the death over me today

I'll try to meet you by the old highway"

Hey!

Well, I realize that I've been hypnotized

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

I love you, Gypsy Eyes

Alright!

I've been searching so long

My feet, they painfully lose the battle

Down against the road, my weary knees take their place

Off to the side, I fall, but I hear a sweet call

My Gypsy Eyes has found me and I've been saved

Lord, I've been saved

That's why I love you

Said, I love you

Hey! I love you

Lord, I love you

Hey!

Burning Of The Midnight Lamp lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

The morning is dead, and the day is too

There's nothing left here to lead 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, it 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 laying on the floor

Facing coldly towards the door

And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone

Burn!

Yeah, yeah

Lonely, lonely, lonely

Loneliness is such a drag!

So here I sit to face that same old fireplace

Getting ready for the same old explosion

Going through my mind

And soon enough, the time will tell

About the circus in the wishing well

And someone who will buy and sell for me

Someone who will toll my bell

And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone

Burn!

Yeah, yeah

Lonely, lonely, lonely

Loneliness is such a drag!

Rainy Day, Dream Away lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hey man, take a look out the window and see what's happening

Hey man, it's raining

It's raining outside man

Aw, don't worry about that

Everything's going to be everything

We'll get into something 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 and

Even the ducks can groove rain bathing in the park side pool

And I'm leaning out my windowsill digging everything

And you too

Rainy day, rain all day

Ain't no use in getting uptight, just let it groove its own way

Let it drain your worries away

Lay back and groove on a rainy day

Lay back and dream on a rainy day

1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hooray, I awake from yesterday

Alive but the war is here to stay

So my love, Katherina and me

Decide to take our last walk

Through the noise to the sea

Not to die but to be reborn

Away from a life so battered and torn

Forever, forever

Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess

Every inch of earth is a fighting nest

Giant pencil and lipstick 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 straight ahead, straight up ahead

Well, it's too bad, that our friends can't be with us today

Well, that's too bad

"The machine that we built would never save us"

That's what they say

(That's why they ain't coming with us today)

And they also said

"It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever"

Was their main complaint

(Yeah)

And they also threw this in my face, they said:

"Anyway, you know good and well

It would be beyond the will of God

And the grace 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

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 can hear Atlantis full of cheer

Moon, Turn The Tides... Gently, Gently Away lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

(Instrumental)

Still Raining, Still Dreaming lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Rainy day, rain all day

Ain't no use in getting 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, aah!

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, aah!

House Burning Down lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red

Somebody's house is burning down down, down down

Down, down, down

Well I asked my friend, "Where is that black smoke coming from?"

He just coughed and changed the subject and said, "Oh, I think it might snow some"

So I left him sipping his tea and I jumped in my chariot

And rode off to see just why and who could it be this time

Sisters and brothers, daddies, mothers standing around crying

When I reached the scene the flames were making a ghostly whine

So I stood on my horse's back and I screamed without a crack

I say, "Oh baby why'd you burn your brother's house down?"

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey

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, down

Well, someone stepped from the crowd, he was nineteen miles high

He shouts, "We're tired 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 finally rode away but I'll never forget that day

Because 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

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh baby

All Along The Watchtower lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

"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 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

Princes kept the view

While all the women came and went

Barefoot servants too

Outside in the cold distance

A wildcat did growl

Two riders were approaching

And the wind began to howl, hey

All along the watchtower

All along the watchtower

Voodoo Child (Slight Return) lyrics - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Well, I stand up next to a mountain

And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

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 you 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

If I don't meet you no more in this world, then

I'll meet you in the next one

And don't be late

Don't be late

'Cause I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby

I'm a voodoo child, baby

I don't take no for an answer

Question no

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
