Kingsdown - Electric Ladyland lyrics

rate me

Look at that city lit up so pretty

Staring while my aero-plane

Dives like a moth toward her flames

Those big tall buildings

Stand proud as prom kings

Never gonna let me in

Can’t afford to pay the admission

She's a sultry little temptress

Of a fast living town

Charity is bad for business

If you want her horizontal be prepared to pay her down

Welcome to Electric Ladyland

Put a quarter in, she'll make you a man

Ride on her electric carousel

First she'll take you up

Then she'll take you down

Then around and around she goes

Planes finally touched down

My head's still in the clouds

Hoping that the crooked street

Straight talk some sense to me

Wisdom's the hardest

Fire to get started

When you think you got her

A little rain cloud come pouring in

She's a midnight loving lady

Day knows not where she's found

Ugly morals like it shady

And there's plenty dim lit corners in this God forsaken town

Welcome to Electric Ladyland

Put a quarter in, she'll make you a man

Ride on her electric carousel

First she'll take you up

Then she'll take you down

Then around and around she goes

Oh, my, what are you thinking?

You know true love don't start in the bed, boy

Oh, no, what are you doing?

God gave you a conscience, so use it

Welcome to Electric Ladyland

Put a quarter in, she'll make you a man

Ride on her electric carousel

First she'll take you up

Then she'll take you down

Then around and around and around

First she'll take you up

Then she'll take you down

Then around and around and around
