Lyrics

Pur ple haze all (Ab)in my brain,

late ly things don’t (Ab)seem the same.

Act in’ fun ny but I (Ab)don’t know why,

(CN.C.)’scuse me while I kiss the sky.

Pur ple haze

(Ab)all a round,

(F)don’t know if I’m com in’ (Ab)up or down.

Am I hap py or (Ab)in mis er y?

What (F)ev er it is, that girl put a spell on me.

Pur ple haze all (Ab)in my eyes,

don’t know if it’s (Ab)day or night.

You’ve got me blow in’, (Ab)blow in’ my mind, is it to (CN.C.)mor row or just the end of time?
