Wring that neck

[instrumental]

Speed king

Good golly said little Miss Molly
When she was rocking in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rocking to the east and west
Lucille, oh so real
When she didn't do her daddy's will
Come on baby, drive me crazy, do it, do it

I'm a speed king, you gotta hear me sing
I'm a speed king, see me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about ain't gonna save
Some people gonna rock, some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman, soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

I'm a speed king, you gotta hear me sing
I'm a speed king, see me fly

Good golly said little Miss Molly
When she was rocking in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rocking in the east and west
Hard headed woman, soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

I'm a speed king, you gotta hear me sing
I'm a speed king, see me fly

Into the fire

Take the trouble to decide the things you do
Will not be the things that don't appeal to you
See the mess your makin',
can't you see your fakin'
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna
Into the fire

Turn on to the mandrake that was given to you
See if you can make it like the others do
Feel the blood a knockin',
when you're finger poppin'
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna
Into the fire

Stop your bleeding mind before it's over and done
Listen very closely to the message I've sung
Feel the blood a knockin',
when you're finger
poppin'Gonna get a message through, you're gonna
Into the fire

Paint it black

[instrumental]

Mandrake root

I've got a Mandrake Root
It's some thunder in my brain
I feed it to my babe
She thunders just the same
Food of love sets her flame
Ah, stick it up

I've got the Mandrake Root
Baby's just the same
She still feels a quiver
She's still got the flame
She slows down, slows right down
I've got the power

Child in time

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man, he's shooting at the world
The bullets flying, they're taking toll

If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
You'd better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm cryin' for you day and night
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
A-a-ah, a-a-ah
I wanna hear you say
A-a-ah, a-a-ah

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good of us and the bad of us
See the blind man, shooting at the world
The bullets flying, they're killing everyone

If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
You'd better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I wanna be inside of you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
A-a-ah, a-a-ah
I gotta hear you sing
A-a-ah, a-a-ah

Black night

Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free
Free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free
Free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see, dark night
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free
Free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
