The Jimi Hendrix Experience
One of Jimi’s many extended jams, this track off Jimi’s greatest hits compilation describes the story of a man (most likely Jimi within his own narrative) on a journey from his lonely neighborhood into the skies, intertwining with Jimi’s wild zodiac-infused beliefs and psychedelic visions.
[Verse 1]
The stars up above that play with Laughing Sam's dice
They make us feel that it was the world for us
The Zodiac grass and dreams will come through the skies
It will happen soon, for you
[Interlude]
Alright now, everybody just keep it together now
Away we go!
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Yeah
Thank you very much
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you very much
And now we would like to bring to you our one and only friendly neighborhood experience maker
Yeah
Right now, listen
Thank you very much
[Verse 2]
The Milky Way express is loaded, all aboard
I promise each and every one of you, you won't be bored
Now these next lines will keep everybody honest and straight
What I'm really singing about is my brand-new pair of butterfly roller skates
[Interlude]
Thank you, thank you
And now watch me ride
Yeah
[Bridge]
I'd like to say that there will be no throwing cigarette butts out the window
No throwing cigarette butts out the window thank you, thank you
I hope all of you got your toothbrush
Now to the right you will see Saturn
Out of sight, really out of sight
And if you look to the left you will see Mars
I hope you brought your parachute with you
[Outro]
Hey look out!
Look out for that door
Don't open that door
Don't open that door
Oh well
That's the way it goes
Now we're coming through the Milky Way section
Green cornflakes and stuff like that, the Milky Way
Yeah, everything's alright and out of sight
If you look around you, you will see a few minds being blown
Exactly - assembly, baby
I hope you enjoy your ride - I am
