You're just like crosstown traffic, so hard to get through to you.
Lots of the things we do are dangerous, but life itself is dangerous; nothing is really worth bothering with that isn't full of danger
One time I said: maybe I should burn a guitar tonight. You know smash a guitar or something like that. And they said: yeah, yeah! I said: you really think I should? They said: yeah, that'd be cool. I said: well, ok.
Music is Magic. Magic is Life
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?
Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.
Sorry for the tune up between time, but what the hell, cowboys are the only ones who stay in tune, anyway...
Rock is so much fun. That's what it's all about - filling up the chest cavities and empty kneecaps and elbows.
The smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall.
Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand? I'm going out to find my woman, caught her messing around with another man.
Little Wing is like one of these beautiful girls that come around sometimes ... you play your gig; it's the same thing as the olden days, and these beautiful girls come around.. you do actually fall in love with them because that's the only love you can have. It's not always the physical thing of "Oh, there's one over there ...", it's not one of those scenes. They actually tell you something. They release different things inside themselves ... "Little Wing" was a very sweet girl that came around that gave me her whole life and more if I wanted it ...
I get stoned, I can't get home, I'm calling long distance on a public saxophone. My head is achin', my back is breakin', feel I got run over by Captain Coconut and his dog named Rover.
Jesus shouldn't have died so early and then he could have got twice as much across. They killed him and then twisted so many of the best things he said. Human hands started messing it all up and now so much of religion is hogwash.
The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.
