Purple Haze Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Acting funny but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

[Verse 2]
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm climbin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

[Refrain]
Help me
Help me

[Verse 3]
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blown, blown my mind
Is it tomorrow or the end of time?

[Refrain]
Help me
Help me

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did The Cure say about "Purple Haze"?
Genius Answer

Robert Smith told Record Collector in 2004 during the release of Join The Dots:

I think that the version of “Purple Haze” is my favorite thing on the box set. It still makes me happy that we did a Hendrix cover that was actually good.
