That’s all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind

This chick’s gonna turn you to a block of ice
Look out

Fly on my sweet angel
Forever I will be by your side”


7. Fire

Let me stand next to your fire

Lord knows I’m a Voodoo Child baby

Messin’ ’round town

Released in 1967
On Album Are You Experienced

Purple haze all around
Don’t know if I’m coming up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
