James In My Casket Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey Joe, hey Joe
Have you ever heard his play
Strum the guitar, as some have seen him
Make his burning desire real

[Verse 2]
Every time, I listen to his band
In the room full of mirrors
Purple Haze, surrounds me
And he'll take me to electric ladyland

[Hook]
Run me wild

[Verse 3]
But now
He started on a journey
Riding on the dream
Somewhere over the rainbow
Left me alone

[Verse 4]
Now
He started on a journey
Riding on the dream
But I believe that he'll come back
Here from, the stone
[Chorus]
Oooh, oh-oh-oh
Oooh, oh-oh-oh
Oooh, oh-oh-oh
Oooh, oh-oh-oh
Aaah, ah-ah-ah
Aaah, ah-ah-ah
Aaah, ah-ah-ah
Aaah, ahhh

[Verse 5]
He turns the guitar
Into a living thing
[?]
And then he turns it, into fire
Because he loves it so much

[Verse 6]
Everybody, everybody
Have you ever heard him play
Strum the guitar
As some have seen him
Make his burning desire, yeah

[Hook]
Run me wild
Run me wild

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • 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 [?]
