The Getaway People - Mr E lyrics

5 little kids in a rock 'n' roll band got money in the pocket and money to spend Drummer had a friend who had a cousin called Jack who had a head for the good times, called crack He liked to go cruisin' in his red convertible, the band heard the news playin' on the radio speedin' down the highway ready for more Never saw it comin', then they were 4 4 little kids in a rock 'n' roll band got an axeman goin' with a demon in his hand Likes to pose, expose, man it snows up his nose this is how the story goes: Lost in a maze doin' Purple Haze, Beautiful, Beautiful!
