Jimi Hendrix - Can't Stay Away - Anthology Version lyrics

Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turnin' but
You're upside down
You say when he hit's you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive

Oh, is that what it is?
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing



If I could stay
Then thе night would give you up
Stay, and the day would keep it's trust
Stay, and the night would bе enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere: Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and UAE

And, if you listen, I can't call
And, if you jump, you just might fall
And, if you shout, I'll only hear you

If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay, and the day would keep it's trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay, and the night would be enough

Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet, there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hit's the ground
