Purple Haze
Tankcsapda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Purple haze is on my brain.
Lately things don't seem the same.
Actin' funny. but I don't know why.
'xcuse me, while I kiss the sky.

Purple haze is all around.
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down.
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl puts a spell on me.

Help me, help me,
Oh help me.

Purple haze is on my eyes.
Don't know if it's day or night.
You've got me blowin', blowin' up my mind.
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

Help me, yeah,
Come on now.




Tell me, tell me,
Purple haze, purple haze.
