Look at that city lit up so pretty
Staring while my aero-plane
Dives like a moth toward her flames
Those big tall buildings
Stand proud as prom kings
Never gonna let me in
Can't afford to pay the admission
She's a sultry little temptress
Of a fast living town
Charity is bad for business
If you fantastic her horizontal be prepared to pay her down
Welcome to Electric Ladyland
Put a quarter in, she'll make you a man
Ride on her electric carousel
First she'll take you up
Then she'll take you down
Then around and around she goes
Planes finally touched down
My head's still in the clouds
Hoping that she crooked street
Straight talk some sense to me
Wisdom's the hardest
Fire to get started
When you think you got her
A little rain cloud come pouring in
She's a midnight loving lady
Day knows not where she's found
Ugly morals like it shady
And there's plenty dim lit corners in the God forsaken town
Welcome to Electric Ladyland
Put a quarter in, she'll make you a man
Ride on her electric carousel
First she'll take you up
Then she'll take you down
Then around and around she goes
Oh, my, what are you thinking?
You know true love doesn't stand in the bed, boy
Oh, no, what are you doing?
God gave you a conscience, so use it
Welcome to Electric Ladyland
Put a quarter in, she'll make you a man
Ride on her electric carousel
First she'll take you up
Then she'll take you down
Then around and around she goes
First she'll take you up
Then she'll take you down
Then around and around she goes
