Up From The Skies

  • written by Jimi Hendrix


    Tell me everything

    I just want to talk to you
    I won't do you no harm
    I just want to know about your different lives
    On this is here people farm
    I heard some of you got your families
    Living in cages tall and cold
    And some just sit there and dust away
    Past the age of old.
    Is this true?
    Please let me talk to you.

    I just wanna know
    The rooms behind your minds
    Uh do I see a vacuum there
    Or am I going blind?
    Or is it just remains of vibrations
    And they happen long ago?
    Things like "Love the world" and
    "Let your fancy flow"
    Is this true?
    Please let me talk to you
    Is this true?
    I just wanna talk to you.

    I have lived here before
    The days of ice
    So of course this is why
    I'm so concerned about the earth
    'Cause I come back to find
    The stars are misplaced
    And the smell of a world
    That's burned
    A smell of a world
    That's burned.

    So where do I purchase my ticket?
    I'd just like to have a ringside seat
    I wanna hear about these new Mother Earth
    I want to hear and see everything
    I want to hear and see everything
    I want to hear and see everything

    I want you to show me
    I want you to say to me
    Show me everything
    Oh yeah is that true?
    Is that true?
    Please let me talk to you
    Oh my new Mother Earth
    I won't do you no harm
    Yes I have lived here before,
    Many times many times
    I know you.
