lyrics

On a horse called Purple Haze
Swept away and she hasn’t eaten
For days and days
For days and days I sit and moan
Oh Lord I wish that horse would come

She’s got arms that will
Tear you way from those that own you
She’s got legs that can
Bear you away from what you need

Her head shone like a black sunrise
A new religion and a darkening of skies
There must be someway forth from this plight
The dream endured and held right through the night

She has arms that will
Tear you away from those that own you
She’s got legs that can
Bear you away from what you need

Est-elle almée ?... aux premières heures bleues
Se détruira-t-elle comme les fleurs feues?**
Is she an almee? in the first blue hours
Will she destroy herself like fire flowers?

She has arms that will
Tear you away from those that own you
She’s got legs that can
Bear you away from what you need

**From BRUXELLES Juillet
Boulevard du Régent.
July 1872
Arthur Rimbaud

Lyrics George D Henderson, Lindsay Maitland

Almée = Egyptian dancing woman (supernatural being)
