Iron Butterfly

Are you happy?

I met a pretty girl on a date last night,
And let me tell you now, she was groovy.
And I kissed the pretty girl, and I held her tight,
Let me tell you now, she was groovy.

And now, no matter what I try to do
My mind's drifting back to you.

Are you happy?

And now, no matter what I try to do
My mind's drifting back to you.

Are you happy?
To you.
Are you happy?
Oh, I love you...

Please, tell me now that you're happy,
Please, tell me now that you're mine.
Please, tell me now that you're happy,
Please, tell me now that you're mine.

I wanna tell you I love you...

Are you happy?

Are you happy?

Size is decreasing
Under transparent purple skies;
The life you've chased seen thru my eyes
Was distorted, filled with lies.

Your hopes are bouncing in front of your eyes
As you jump to catch them floating so high,

Bye, bye,

A top comes a-spinning into your life
And you've reached a height

Threatening destruction in a way that we know too well
Sitting on the limb of love with my friends
Sitting here all alone.

Life without malice can you call this bluff
And say without knowing it's hard enough,

Bye, bye,

A top comes a-spinning into your life
And you've reached a height

Life without malice can you call this bluff
And say without knowing it's hard enough,

Bye, bye,

Bye, bye.

I found me a little butterfly
As blue as the sky
With just a touch of gold
I knew I had to hold
My butterfly fly away with me

Every time I reached for her
She managed to slip away
Takin' my breath away from me
How can I make her stay?
My butterfly, fly away with me, yeah

My heart was beatin' faster
She started to come near
Spread her wings around me
And cast out all my fears
My butterfly, fly away with me, yeah

Now the bright light of her eyes show
She never was leavin' me
Got in me by my efforts to reach her
Leadin' me to be free
My butterfly, fly away with me
(Yeah, yeah, oow)

Butterfly, fly away

Pegs of people line the street
A ball and chain around their feet
Waitin' for a weekend treat
But Easy Rider's got 'em all beat 'cause

[Chorus]
Easy rider, he's a glider
(Easy) Freedom, every day
(Rider) Easy rider, easy glider
Lettin' the wind pay the way
(that's all he ever does)

Freedom!
Freedom!

Puts a rocket in his pocket
At the dawn of day
Needs a goodbye kiss in the mornin', mist
You know the man can't stay.

[Chorus]

solo

(Who'm I talkin' 'bout)
Easy, easy, easy rider
Easy, easy, easy rider

Goin' easy, where you goin'
Gettin' tired of being all alone
Oh, the roads are calling you
Back to where you belong
Oh, ride on!

Talkin' bout easy

Fields of sun-blossomed flowers
Ever so gently movin' about

Fields of life-givin' sun
Plant the Earth
And bring the new young in sprout

This is the never-ending story
Of life which goes on
Day in and day out

Mountains of evergreen trees
Standing tall and straight
Like soldiers about

Fields of sun-blossomed flowers
Ever so gently movin' about

Fields of life-givin' sun
Plant the Earth
And bring the new young in sprout

This is the never-ending story
Of life which goes on
Day in and day out

Mountains of evergreen trees
Standing tall and straight
Like soldiers about

Know that the end of my mind is so near,
My mind is just churning and burning with fear.

Why did I in-a-vite it here?

God, why did I in-a-vite it here?

Why did I in-a-vite it here?

God, why did I in-a-vite it here?

Know that the end of my mind is so near,
My mind is just churning and burning with fear.

Why did I in-a-vite it here?

God, why did I in-a-vite it here?

Why did I in-a-vite it here?

God, why did I in-a-vite it here?

Girl, I just know I love ya now.

Flowers and beads are one thing,
But having a girl is something.
That's if you got a girl who loves you,
And thinks the whole wide world of you.

Flowers and beads are one thing,
But having you girl that's something.
That's 'cause I know you love me only,
And that you'll never leave my hear lonely.

You're all I talk about and ev'rything I say and,
Girl, I just know I love you now.
Girl, I love ya, I love you and need you in my lifetime.

Girl, I just know I love you,
Don't you think my love is true?
Girl, I just know I want you,

Gentle as it may seem
You lose her in a dream
You Gotta learn how to scheme
Or man you've lost the scene

Come here woman

There's a girl for every guy
You can get one if you try
It's not your fault my friend
If you lose her in the end

Come here woman

Exciting were her eyes
And refreshing was her smile.

So loving was her attitude she maintained all the while.

She reaped in her softness which created a gentle mood.
And if I ever felt hunger, she would hand me a bit of food.

Ah true, she was exciting,
refreshing and loving
and still found a way in which she maintained all the while;
that was her faith,
that was her favorite style,
that was her favorite style.

Never knowing the world without you
Never knowing though ill never doubt you
Never knowing just where you come from
Never knowing youll be someone with you

(chorus)
High on a mountain top
Where only I could see
I hold a love for you
And you would come to find
Once upon my mind
Just a little
The hole in my life

Never knowing how hard I love you
Never knowing if my hearts above you
Never knowing how hard we tried
Never knowing if ill live or die with you

(repeat chorus)

High on a mountain top
The hole in my life
High on a mountain top

I look for the sun
in dire need of someone, somewhere,
I look for the sun
in dire need of someone, somewhere.
Words lost in the past
of memories that will never last.

My mind wanders the crowds in a search,
In the search of the one that I feel is my life,
It the crowds.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

Listen to the clock beat as it ticks out time away,
And listen to the birds' laughter as they live for today,
And listen to the heart beat as it beats our lives away.

These are the things that we hear in our world,
and these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
in the time of our lives.

And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.

How you doing people that passed on yesterday?
Did you meet with justice on your judgement day?

These are the things that we hear in our world,
and these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
in the time of our lives.

And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.

Yes, to us,
without a doubt they're real.

without a doubt they're real.

without a doubt they're real!

Listen to the clock beat as it ticks out time away,
And listen to the birds' laughter as they live for today,
And listen to the heart beat as it beats our lives away.

These are the things that we hear in our world,
and these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
in the time of our lives.

And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.

Did you meet with justice on your judgement day?

In my mind I see a mirage on the wall,
But unfortunately it's not there at all.
So I guess I'll draw my mirage on the wall,
Then it can be here to see and enjoyed by all.

My mirage, I'll be drawing you soon.
Then all of the beautiful people
That come to our home...
They'll be seeing you too.
My mirage,
I'll be drawing you soon,
My mirage,
I'll be seeing you soon.

When a man has a woman
and he doesn't really love her
why does he burn inside
when she starts to love another

It's possession,
It's possession.

It's possession,
It's possession.

It's possession,
It's possession.

When a man has a woman
and he doesn't really love her
why does he burn inside
when she starts to love another

It's possession,
It's possession.

It's possession,
It's possession.

It's possession,
It's possession.

Real fright's the story of a maddening darkness,
It leaves your hands and your face real tight,
Your mind starts to wander while your body starts shaking,
Your mouth feels dry as your bones start aching.

You want to know the pattern thas has gripped your life,
Your heart starts pounding while you're breathing real fright,
A face chalk white that starts the sight,
Ears hear the sounds of real fright.

Can you feel the manmade mist
As it starts to twist your lungs?
Slower than guns

Breathe deep
As you enter sleep
Fell secure it's all around you

Can you see the golden brown
As it circles round your town
Town coming down

Smokin' stacks on industry's backs
In this land of a cigarette pack
Feel secure there all around you

Miles and miles of gasoline fumes
In the air like transparent tombs
Feel secure there all around you

DDT making bugs relax
There in your food like poison tacks
How about that

Eat well there all within you
Town coming down
