Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Deep Purple or about the 1960s in general.

Chasing shadows, over my walls
with myself hardly sleeping
Dwarfs and giants, twenty feet tall
fill the room with their creeping

Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears
then they fade into nothing
Someone’s laughter out in the street
fills the night with their loving

I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed
Not even dreaming I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red

All I’m asking some secret voice
is to lead me to darkness

Jon forgot the two last lines:

I’m so tired, dawn never comes
I just hide in the shadows
