Hello, my friend
So happy to see you again
I was so alone
All by my self
I just couldn't make it

Have you heard, baby
What the winds blowing round
Have you heard, baby
A whole lot of peoples coming right on down

Communication, yeah
Is coming on strong
And don't give a damn, baby
If your hair is short or long, huh

I said, get out of your grave (noo)
Everybody is dancing in the street, hi!

I sure got the blues this morning, baby
Yeah! And I’m here to tell you about it
So you might as well pick up on it! Yeah!
I’m a man
At least I’m tryin’ to be
I’ve lived before
The other half of me
I’ve lived before
That you don’t want me
But in this search
For nothing desperately
Oh, I’m tryin’ tryin’
Not to be a fool
I’m tryin’ tryin’

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

She's just a nigh bird flyin' through the night
Fly on
She's just a night bird making a midnight, midnight flight
Sail on, sail on
Well, she's flyin' down to me
But, 'til tomorrow got to set her free
Set her free

So all we got, baby, is one precious night
All we got is one precious night
Throw your blues and shoes and things
And lay it down under the bed
Just wrap me up in your beautiful wings,

Hey, look out for my glass up there, man!
That's my drink, man, that's my drink, alright...
Make it a double, or eh...
Somebody has to sing
Some body will sing?
Somebody will sing, right?
(I don't know!)

Y'all pass me that bottle,
And I'll sing you all a real song
Yeah!
Let me get my key, ahum!

Well, I'm looking through Harlem
my stomach squeal just a little more

JIMI:
YEAH WELL A LIKE I SAID BEFORE WE ONLY RAN UP A FEW NUMBERS SO LET
ME TRY AND DO THIS ONE LIKE WE WERE JUST JAMMIN' AT THE HOUSE WE DON'T HAVE
A NAME FOR YET IT'S JUST LIKE AN INSTRUMENTAL SO WE'LL JUST GO ALONG WITH IT.
IT GOES SOMTHIN' LIKE THIS.

NO LYRICS. IT'S AN INSTURMENTAL LIKE JIMI SAID, BUT A GREAT INSTRUMENTAL.

JIMI:

Well I, I just came back today…
I just came back from the storm.
Yeah!
I said: “I just came back, baby…
I just came back from the storm.
Yeah, from the storm.
Well, I didn’t know it then,
But I was sufferin’, sufferin’
For my love to keep me warm.
It was so cold and lonely, yeah.
The wind ’n’ cryin’ blue rain
Were tearing me up.
It was so cold and lonely.

Hey baby where are you coming from?
Well she looked at me and smiled
And looked into space and said I'm coming from the land of the new rising sun.

Then I said Hey baby where are you trying to go to?
Then she said I'm going to
Spin and spread around peace of mind and a whole lotta love to you and you

Hey girl I'd like to come along
Yes, I'd love to come along

You got my pride
hanging out of my bed
You're messin' around with my life
So I bought my ...
You even mess with my children
And you're screamin' at my wife, baby
Get off my back,
if you wanna get outta here alive

Freedom, give it to me
That's what I want now
Freedom, that's what I need now
Freedom to live
Freedom, so I can give

You got my heart
speak electric water
You got my soul

There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
Ridin’ down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
takes him higher
Tryin’ to find his heaven above
but he's dyin’ to be loved, dyin’ to be loved

He's tellin’ me livin’
is so magic
Something is forever
so he claims
He's talkin' ’bout lyin’
it's so tragic baby
But don't you worry ’bout today
we got freedom comin' our way, freedom comin' our way

There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
Ridin down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
takes him higher
Tryin to find his heaven above
but he's dyin to be loved

*note: I'm not exactly sure about these next 2 lines*

He's tellin me livin
is so magic
Something is forever
so he claims
He's talkin' bout lyin
it's so tragic baby
But don't you worry bout today
we got freedom comin' our way

Solo

How long

Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love’s so heavy, gonna make you stagger.
Dolly Dagger, she drinks her blood from a jagged edge...
Been riding broomsticks since she was fifteen
Blow out all the other witches on the scene.
She got a bull whip, just as long as your life.
her tongue can even scratch
the soul out of the devil’s wife.
well i seen her in action at the players chioce

Well. I'm up here in this womb
I'm looking all around
Well, I'm looking out my belly button window
And I see a whole lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they don't want me around

What seems to be the fuzz out there?
Just what seems to be the hang?
'Cause you know if ya just don't want me this time around,
yeah I'll be glad to go back to Spirit Land
And even take a longer rest,

Here I come to save the day

A little boy inside a dream just the other day
His mind fell out of his face and the wind blew it away
A hand came out from heaven and pinned a badge on his chest
It said Get out there, man, and do your best ooh…

They call him Astro Man
And he's flyin' higher than
That faggot Superman ever could

Oh, they call him Cosmic Nut
And he's twice as dense as Donald Duck

BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

THE MORNING IS DEAD
AND THE DAY IS TOO
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT HERE TO GREET ME
BUT THE VELEVET 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 STLL HANGIN' ON MY FROWNING WALL
