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 want 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 the 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 this 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 don't start 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 and around
First she'll take you up Then she'll take you down Then around and around and around
