Space Truckin'
Well, we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
We meeting all the groovy people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealice
We're space truckin' round the the stars
Come on, come on, come on let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on, space truckin'

Remember when we did the moonshot
And Pony Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And everynaut would dance and sway
Got music in our solar system
We're space truckin' round the stars
Come on, come on, come on let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on, space truckin'

The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," the freaks said
"Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
They've rocked around the Milky Way
They dance around the Borealice
They're space truckin' everyday."
Come on, come on, come on let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on, space truckin'

Come on, come on, come on let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on, space truckin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin'

Kentucky Woman
Alright, oh hey now, now

Kentucky Woman, she shines in her own kind of light
She looks at you once in a day and what's wrong is alright
And I love her, God knows I love her

Kentucky Woman, she gets to know you
She gets to hold you, Kentucky Woman

She ain't the kind to turn at the drop of her name
Well, all the things she does, they turn you on just the same
And I love her, God knows I love her

Kentucky Woman, she gets to know you
She gets to hold you, Kentucky Woman

I don't want much - the good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch and that one girl in life is sweet and good
There ain't no doubt, I'm talking about

Kentucky Woman, she gets to know you
She gets to hold you, Kentucky Woman

Kentucky Woman, she shines in her own kind of light
Oh, she looks at you once in a day and what's wrong is alright
And I love her, yes I do, I love my

Kentucky Woman, she gets to know you
She gets to hold you, Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman - Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman - Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman - Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman

INSTRUMENTAL

Burn
The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are sayin' the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire
The woman's flames are reaching higher
We were fools, we called her liar
All I hear is, "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared
When it came none were spared
Still I hear, "Burn!"

You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are sayin' the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear, "Burn!"

Woman From Tokyo
Fly into the rising sun
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart

My woman from Tokyo - she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo - she's so good to me

Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in a eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away

My woman from Tokyo - she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo - she's so good to me

But I'm at home and I, I just don't belong

So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in her city of light

Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high

My woman from Tokyo - she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo - she's so good to me

My woman from Tokyo - she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo - she's so good to me
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo

Hush
I got a certan little girl, she's on my mind
No doubt about it, she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

Hush, hush - I thought I heard her calling my name, now
Hush, hush - she broke my heart but I love her just the same, now
Hush, hush - I thought I heard her calling my name, now
Hush, hush - I need her loving and I'm not to blame, now

Love, love - they got it early in the morning
Love, love - they got it late in the evening
Love, love - well, I want that, need it
Love, love - oh, I gotta, gotta have it

She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat, y'all, and I can't sleep

Listen, hush, hush - I thought I heard her calling my name, now
Hush, hush - she broke my heart but I love her just the same, now
Hush, hush - thought I heard her calling my name, now
Hush, hush - I need her loving and I'm not to blame, now

Love, love - they got it early in the morning
Love, love - they got it late in the evening
Love, love - oh, want it and need it
Love, love - hey, I gotta, gotta have it

Smoke On The Water (Live)
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground, now, yeah
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
Burning down

You know, they burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
He was pulling kids out the ground, now
When it all was over
Had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race, now
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky - burnin'
Smoke on the water
Down to the ground

You know, now, we ended up with the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
Few red lights, a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget, now
Smoke on the water, yeah, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water everywhere

See me burn, alright now
It was tumbling down - burn, burn, burn
Everybody was cryin'
Burning down

Highway Star (Live)
Song called Highway Star, this one, yeah


Nobody gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car, I gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, it's a killing machine, it got everything
Like a driving power, big fat tires and everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it, yeah, it turns me on
Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star, yeah

Well, nobody gonna take my girl, I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna take my girl, she stays close on every bend
Ooh, she's a killing machine, she's got everything
Like a moving mouth, body control and everything

I love it and I need it, yeah
Yeah, she turns me on
Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star, yeah

Nobody gonna take my head now that I'm on the road again
Nobody gonna take my head, I gotta speed my head
Ooh, I'm in heaven again, I've got everything
Like an open road, all my friends and everything

I love it and I need it, I seed it
Yeah, she turns me on
Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star all night long

Nobody gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground 
Nobody gonna take my car, it gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, it's a killing machine, it's got everything
Like a moving mouth, big fat tires and everything

I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, it turns me on
Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star, oh yes I am
