Purple Haze
Purple haze all in my brain 
Lately things just don't seem the same 
Actin' funny, but I don't know why 
Excuse 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
Whatever it is that girl put a spell on me 

Purple haze all in my eyes 
Don't know if it's day or night 
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind 
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time

Manic Depression
Manic depression is touching my soul 
I know what I want but I just don't know 
How to, go about gettin' it 
Feeling sweet feeling
Drops from my fingers, fingers 
Manic depression is catchin' my soul 

Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain 
You make love, you break love 
It's all the same 
When it's, when it's over, mama 
Music, sweet music 
I wish I could caress, caress, caress 
Manic depression is a frustrating mess 

Well, I think I'll go turn myself off
And go on down 
All the way down 
Really ain't no use in me hanging around 
In your kinda scene 

Music, sweet music 
I wish I could caress, caress, caress 
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Hey Joe
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand 
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand 

I'm going down to shoot my old lady 
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man 
I'm going down to shoot my old lady 
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man 
And that ain't too cool 

Hey Joe, I've heard you shot your woman down
shot her down, now 
I said I've heard you shot your old lady down
You shot her down to the ground 

Yes I did, I shot her 
You know, I caught her messin' round, messin' round town 
Yes I did, I shot her 
You know, I caught my old lady messin' around town 
And I gave her the gun, I shot her 

Hey Joe, alright 
Shoot her one more time, baby 

Hey Joe, said now 
Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna run to
Hey Joe, I said where you gonna run to now
Where you, where you gonna go
Well, dig it 

I'm goin' way down south
Way down to Mexico way 
Alright
I'm goin' way down south, 
Way down where I can be free 
Ain't no one gonna find me 

Ain't no hangman gonna
He ain't gonna put a rope around me 
You better believe it right now 
I gotta go now 
Hey Joe, you better run on down 
Good by everybody 
Hey Joe
Run on down

Love Or Confusion
Is that the stars in the sky, or is it 
Rain fallin' down 
Will it burn me if I touch the sun 
So big, so round 

Would I be truthful, yeah, in, 
Choosing' you as the one for me
Is this love baby, 
or is it just confusion

My mind is so messed up 
Goin' round and round 
Must there be all the colours 
Without names, without sound, baby
My heart burns with feeling, but, 
My mind, it's cold and reeling 
Is this love baby, 
or is it confusion? 

My head is poundin', poundin' 
Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round 
Must there always be these colors
Without names, without sounds 
My heart burns with feeling, but
My mind, it's cold and reeling 
Is this love baby
or is it just confusion
You tell me baby, is this 
Love or confusion

Mama, we must get together and find out 
exactly what we're tryin' to do 

Love or confusion
Confusion

May This Be Love
Waterfall 
Nothing can harm me at all 
My worries seem so very small 
With my waterfall 

I can see 
My rainbow calling me 
Through the misty breeze 
Of my waterfall 

Some people say 
Daydreaming's for all the 
Lazy minded fools 
With nothin' else to do 
So let them laugh, laugh at me 
So just as long as I have you 
To see me through 
As long as I have you 

Waterfall 
Don't ever change your ways 
Fall with me for a million days 
Oh, my waterfall

I Don't Live Today
Will I live tomorrow
Well, I just can't say 
Will I live tomorrow
Well, I just can't say 
But I don't know for sure 
I don't live today 

No sun comin' through my window 
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave 
No-ho sun comin' through my window 
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave 
I wish you'd hurry up and rescue me 
So I can be on my miserable way 

Well, I don't 
Live today 
Maybe tomorrow, I just can't say 
I don't 
Live today 
It's such a shame to waste your time away like this 
Existing 

Well, I don't 
Live today 
Maybe tomorrow, I just can't tell you baby 
I don't 
Live today 
It's such a shame to spend the time 
Away like this

The Wind Cries Mary
After all the jacks are in their boxes 
And the clowns have all gone to bed 
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street 
Footsteps dressed in red 
And the wind whispers Mary 

A broom is drearily sweeping 
Up the broken pieces of yesterdays life 
Somewhere a queen is weeping 
Somewhere a king has no wife 
And the wind it cries Mary 

The traffic-lights, they turn blue tomorrow 
And shine their emptiness down on my bed 
The tiny island sags downstream 
'Cause the life that lived is, is dead 
And the wind screams Mary 

Will the wind ever remember 
The names it has blown in the past? 
And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom 
It whispers no, this will be the last 
And the wind cries Mary

Third Stone From The Sun
Starfleet to scoutship, please give your position, over
I'm in orbit around the third planet from the star called the sun, over
You mean its the earth, over
Positive, it is known to have some form of intelligent species, over
I think we should take a look

Strange beautiful grass of gree
With your majestic silver seas 
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer 
May I land my kinky machine 

Strange beautiful grass of green
With your majestic silver seas 
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer 
May I land my kinky machine 

Although your world wonders me
With your majestic and superior cackling hen 
Your people I do not understand
So to you I shall put an end 
And you'll 
Never hear 
Surf music again 

Secret 
Oh, secret 
Oh 
Shhhh

Are You Experienced?
If you can just get your mind together 
Then come on across to me 
We'll hold hands and then we'll watch the sunrise 
From the bottom of the sea 

But first, are you experienced
Have you ever been experienced
Well, I have 

I know, I know you probably scream and cry 
That your little world won't let you go 
But who in your measly little world 
Are you trying to prove that 
You're made out of gold and, eh, can't be sold 

So, are you experienced
Have you ever been experienced
Well, I have 

Let me prove you

Trumpets and violins I can hear in distance 
I think they're calling our names 
Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will 
If you just take hold of my hand 

Oh, but are you experienced
Have you ever been experienced
Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful

And they can�t wait for their fifty first to roll around

Running around hanging out, and a havin� your fun
Life for you has just begun, baby

And then you come saying

Highway Chile
Yeah, his guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin� hair just a blowin� in the wind
Ain�t seen a bed in so long it�s a sin
He left home when he was seventeen
The rest of the world he had longed to see
But everybody knows the boss
A rolling stone who gathers no moss

But you�d probably call him a tramp
But it goes a little deeper than that
He�s a highway chile, yeah

Now some people say he had a girl back home
Who messed around and did him pretty wrong
They tell me it kinda hurt him bad
Kinda made him feel pretty sad
I couldn�t say what went through his mind
Anyway, he left the world behind
But everybody knows the same old story,
In love and war you can�t lose in glory

Now you�d probably call him a tramp
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He�s a highway chile

Walk on brother, yeah
One more brother

His old guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin� hair just a blowin� in the wind
Ain�t seen a bed in so long it�s a sin

Now you may call him a tramp
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He�s a highway chile

Walk on brother
Don�t let no one stop you
Highway chile
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Highway chile
Go on down the highway
Highway chile
Yeah, yeah, yeah
