You got me sitting on the shelf, while you're out bewitching someone else.
She's a devil in disguise, I can tell by looking in her eyes, little Miss Strange.
You're not the only one accused of hit and run. Tire tracks all across my back, well I can see you've had your fun.
I'm a million miles away, and at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame.
I use to live in a room full of mirrors, all I could see was me.
To be with the others, you have to have your hair short and wear ties. So we're trying to make a third world happen, you know what I mean?
Definitely, and it's getting more spiritual. Pretty soon I believe people will have to rely on music to get some kind of peace of mind, or satisfaction, or direction, actually. More so than politics, the big ego scene. You know it's an art of words... Meaning nothing. Therefore you will have to get an earthier substance, like music or the arts.
White collar conservative flashin down the street, pointing that plastic finger at me, they all assume my kind will drop and die, but I'm gonna wave my freak flag high.
Music is the most important thing. I'm thinking of my future. There has to be something new, and I want to be part of it. I want to lead an orchestra with excellent musicians. I want to play music which draws pictures of the world and its space
Music is my religion.
If 6 turned out to be 9, I don't mind.
We have time, there's no big rush.
When I played God Bless The Queen, I was wondering if they was gonna dig us, then quite naturally I'd go on and try to get it together.
See, that's nothing but blues, that's all I'm singing about. It's today's blues.
