Why Didn’t Rosemary

с альбома Deep Purple

There`s a black hill
We had a climb
Everything I need but nothing`s mine
Satan`s world, I`ve had a kill
Why didn`t Rosemary ever take the pill?
Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh man won`t do it, but the devil will

I`m losing time and my mind
Why can`t I ever have what`s naturally mine?
I got life and the things that go with it
If there`s something else, where can i get it?
Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh man won`t do it, but the devil will

Well here`s my views, I always lose
Things I want to do are yesterday`s news
Say life`s a ball, I`ve had it all
Out there in another dance hall
Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh man won`t do it, but the devil will

Take me as I am, an excuse for a man
Wherever I push someone stops my hand
As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why didn`t Rosemary ever take the pill?
Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh man won`t do it, but the devil will

Oh, why won`t Rosemary ever take the pill?
