Sky King
Sky King's Journey: Studio Bound Melodies
Lyrics
Cruisin' on down the highway two o eight
Traveling along Route 208
Headin' for the city tryin to keep a date
Heading to the city, attempting to be punctual for an appointment
Uptown first, and then continued on down
First going to the uptown area, then continuing the journey
Finally underway, studio bound
Finally en route to the studio
To see sky king
Anticipating meeting someone known as "Sky King"
Engineer
Referencing "Sky King" who is possibly an engineer or a figure of authority
Sky king, engineer
Reiterating the association between "Sky King" and an engineer
Pulled up to the door of electric ladyland
Arriving at Electric Ladyland, possibly a studio or venue
Jumped out of the car with guitars in my hand
Exiting the car with guitars, preparing for a music session
Tripped on downstairs with no voice in my throat
Going downstairs but feeling unsure about singing due to voice issues
Should I sing or not, let's put it to a vote
Considering whether to sing or not, contemplating a democratic decision
We'll ask
Seeking advice or consensus from "Sky King"
Sky king, engineer
Reaffirming the involvement or consultation with "Sky King"
Sky king, the engineer
Repeating the connection between "Sky King" and an engineer
Sitting on the window with pneumonia in my brain
Feeling mentally unwell while waiting for anticipated phone calls
Waiting for your phone calls is driving me insane
Being distressed by the anticipation of these phone calls
A right hand man is all you are, another flunky boy
Addressing someone as a subordinate, expressing frustration with their behavior
Don't play your little games with me, I'm not your toy
Warning against playing manipulative games, asserting personal autonomy
Just 'cause you're
Emphasizing the identity as "Sky King" who is an engineer
Sky king, engineer
Reiterating the association between "Sky King" and an engineer
Sky king, the engineer
Reaffirming the link between "Sky King" and the role of an engineer
