Deep Purple  - Lalena   (1969)

Album: Deep Purple 

Lyrics:

When the sun goes to bed

That's the time you raise your head

That's your lot in life, Lalena

Can't blame ya, Lalena

Arty tart, la de da

Can your heart get much sadder?

That's your lot in life, Lalena

Can't blame ya, oh Lalena

Run your hands through your hair

Paint your face with despair

That's your lot in life, Lalena

Can't blame ya, oh Lalena

Run your hands through your hair

Paint your face, paint your face up with despair

That's your lot in life, Lalena

I can't blame ya, oh Lalena

When the sun goes to bed

That's the time you raise your head

That's your lot in life, Lalena

I can't blame ya, Lalena

Arty tart, oh so la de da

Can your part ever get, ever get much sadder?

That's your lot in life, Lalena

I can't blame ya, oh Lalena

Oh Lalena

No no no, Lalena

I can't blame ya, I can't blame ya, Lalena

Oh Lalena

So la de da

Lalena
