Come away to something better

Sometimes a Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me 
Swinging I'd like to show you what's inside,
I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rule all about
Sometimes I walk there
Well yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care
I shouldn't care

      A
bereaved as I'm feeling


BACK TO INTRO

2.The day is gone
I'm on my back
Staring up at the celing
I take a drink sit back relax
Smoke my mind make me feel better for a small time

And what I need is all around me

Sometimes a Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me 
Swinging I'd like to show you what's inside,
I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it

Well yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care
