Purple Haze lyrics

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately, things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me (help me)
Help me
Oh, no, no, no
Uhh, ahh
Uhh, ahh
Uhh, ahh
Uhh, ahh
Yeah
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blow my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?
No, help me
Ah, yeah, purple haze
Oh, no, oh
Oh, help me
Tell me, girl, tell me (help me)
I can't go on like this
You're makin' me blow my mind (help me)
No, no (help me)
No, no (help me)
