Lyrics
I opened up my mind
and realized how much my life
was touched by
the left-handed gypsy
There's still fascination
Still feel emotion for a man,
whose own success
led to his own frustratiion
chorus
A false impression,
It was a false impression
He was my inspiration
Rock gods are only human
I wanted to be like him.
The guitars, the women.
Looked like heaven to me
People behind the curtains,
were ones who were driven by money,
didn't care about Jimi.
His sounds, such beauty
some powerfully ugly!
Heard love, war, space ,
grace, electric intensity;
Inspired me so completely
to do my own thing.
Tell my own story.
Through the songs!
Sing my blues through my songs!
Our time comes and goes so quickly.
The music reminds
us of our times,
though bittersweet.
A false impression,
It was a false impression
He was an inspiration
Rock gods are only human
It was a false impression,
Just a false impression
Such an inspiration
But rock gods are only human
