Maybe I'm A Leo [Verse 1] Creeping round my door, I got a big surprise Couldn't see a thing but open skies [Bridge] They've taken her away Where is she now? [Verse 2] Wish that she was here, I wish she'd hold my hand Maybe she would laugh, maybe understand [Bridge] Why was I so cruel? Where is she now? [Guitar Solo] {Organ Solo} [Verse 3] Acting like a fool, I had to make her cry Maybe I'm a leo but I ain't a lion [Bridge] I'm hurtin' for her so bad I want her now 03. Pictures Of Home [Verse 1] Somebody's shouting Up at a mountain Only my own words return Nobody's up there It's a deception When will I ever learn? [Chorus] I'm alone here With emptiness, eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And whispering pictures of home [Verse 2] Wondering blindly How can they find me? Maybe they don't even know My body is shaking Anticipating The call of the black-hooded crow [Chorus] I'm alone here With emptiness, eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And talking with pictures of home [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Here in this prison Of my own making Year after day, I have grown Into a hero But there's no worship Where have they hidden my throne? [Chorus] I'm alone here With emptiness, eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And screaming out pictures of home [Organ Solo] [Bass Solo] 04. Never Before [Verse 1] Somebody, somebody Come to my side I'm tired, I'm crying I'm sick inside My woman, that woman Just wasn't right [Pre-Chorus] Help me, now Please, my friend [Chorus] I never felt so bad before Never, never before [Verse 2] So funny, so funny Just like a show One name, two people All in a row Somebody, somebody Someone must go [Pre-Chorus] Help me, now Please, my friend [Chorus] I never felt so bad before Never, never before [Bridge] I was hurt when I was younger By a woman who was cold She took my name, she took my body And she threw away my soul [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] I can't hide I can't hide My misery I know my sorrow won't set me free She did it Just see She did it to me [Pre-Chorus] Help me, now Please, my friend [Chorus] I never felt so bad before Never, never before [Organ Solo] 05. Smoke On The Water [Verse 1] We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didn't have much time But Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground [Chorus] Smoke on the water (And fire in the sky) Smoke on the water [Verse 2] They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky Claude was running in and out Pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place But Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race [Chorus] Smoke on the water (And fire in the sky) Smoke on the water [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare But with the Rolling-truck-Stones-thing just outside Making our music there With a few red lights, a few old beds We made a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know, I know we'll never forget [Chorus] Smoke on the water (And fire in the sky) Smoke on the water [Organ Solo] 06. Lazy [Instrumental intro 0:00-4:21] [Verse 1] You're lazy, you just stay in bed You're lazy just stay in bed You don't want no money, you don't want no bread If you're drowning, you don't clutch no straw If you're drowning, you don't clutch no straw You don't want to live, don't want to cry no more [Harmonica Interlude] [Verse 2] Well, my crying ain't done no good I said, my trying ain't done no good You don't make no effort, no, not like you should [Chorus] Lazy! You just stay in bed Lazy! You just stay in bed You don't want no money, you don't want no bread [Instrumental outro 5:53-7:22] 07. Space Truckin' [Verse 1] Well we had a lot of luck on Venus We always had a ball on Mars We meet with all the groovy people We rocked the Milky Way so far [Pre-Chorus] We danced around with Borealis We're space truckin' 'round the stars [Chorus] Come on, come on, come on Let's go space truckin' Come on, come on, come on Space truckin' [Verse 2] Remember when we did the moonshot And Pony Trekker led the way?

When A Blind Man Cries [Verse 1] If you're leaving, close the door I'm not expecting people, anymore Hear me grieving, lying on the floor Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure [Chorus] I'm a blind man I'm a blind man And my world is pale When a blind man cries Lord, you know There ain't a sadder tale [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Had a friend once, in a room Had a good time But it ended much too soon In a cold month, in that room We found a reason For the things we had to do [Chorus] I'm a blind man I'm a blind man Now my room is cold When a blind man cries Lord, you know He feels it from his soul
