Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland) Lyrics

[Verse]
Have you ever been (Have you ever been?)
To Electric Ladyland?
The magic carpet waits for you
So don't you be late, oh

[Bridge]
(I wanna show you) The different emotions
(I wanna run you) The sounds and motions
Electric woman waits for you and me
So it's time we take a ride
You can cast all your hang-ups over the side
While we fly right over the love-filled sea
Look up ahead, I see the loveland
Soon you'll understand, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Guitar Solo]
(Make love, make love)
(Make love, make love)

[Outro]
(I wanna show you)
The angels will spread their wings, spread their wings
(I wanna show you)
Good and evil lay side by side
While electric love penetrates the sky

(I wanna show you) Lord, lord, lord, I wanna show you
(I wanna show you) Hmm-hmm-hmm
(I wanna show you) Show you
(I wanna show you) Yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
