Belly Button Window
Jimi Hendrix · The Cry Of Love (Re-release)
I'm looking all around
Well, I'm looking out my belly button window
And I see a whole lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they don't want me around
What seems to be the fuzz out there?
Just what seems to be the hang?
'Cause you know if ya just don't want me this time around,
yeah I'll be glad to go back to Spirit Land
And even take a longer rest,
before I'm coming down the chute again
Man, I sure remember the last time, baby
They were still hawkin' about me then
So if you don't want me now,
Make up your mind, where or when
If you don't want me now,
Give or take, you only got two hundred days
'Cause I ain't coming down this way too much more again
You know they got pills for ills and thrills and even spills
But I think you're just a little too late
So I'm coming down into this world, daddy
Regardless of love and hate
And I'm gonna sit up in your bed, mama
And just a grin right in your face
And then I'm gonna eat up all your chocolates,
and say "I hope I'm not too late"
So if there's any questions,
make up your mind
'Cause you better give or take
Questions in your mind
Give it a take,
you only got two hundered days
Way up into this womb
looking all around
Sure's dark in here
And I'm looking out my belly button window
And I swear I see nothing but a lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they want me around
Belly Button Window
Belly Button Window stands as a vibrant example of Jimi Hendrix's psychedelic experimentation during his final creative period. Recorded in 1969, the track showcases the guitarist's ability to blend whimsical melodies with heavy, distorted textures. The song features a distinctive, driving rhythm section and intricate guitar work that defines the electric blues-rock sound of the late 1960s. As part of the Cry of Love collection, it highlights Hendrix's posthumous legacy and his continued influence on rock music. The recording captures the artist's signature style, merging improvisational energy with structured composition. This piece remains a testament to his innovative approach to the electric guitar and his enduring impact on the genre.
