  • Lucifer's Eyes
    Lyrics By:
    Joan Baez
    Music By:
    Joan Baez

    You are fair-haired, oh, your lips are red
    You like [softball], oh, and the Grateful Dead
    Why am I attracted to
    The body and the [mind/soul] of you?

    You mean trouble, oh, with your Lucifer's eyes
    And make me daydream, oh, and fantasize
    Running through a field of flames
    Playing our forbidden game

    Camouflaging all, you pass me in the hall
    Leaving me standing naked with my feelings
    Did you see me here, swallowing my tears?
    Everything that was [solid] now is reeling

    Ah, but I know you, oh, and you know me, too
    You know the closet, oh, that I share with you
    There are places we could go
    No one would ever, ever know

    Let's try real time, oh, come sit on my bed
    We'll share our lifetimes, oh, and the Grateful Dead

    This was sung by Joan Baez with the Dead on 12 and 31 December 1981. It was written by Joan but never released on an album of hers. The lyrics below are a combination of what she seems to have sung with the Dead and the "official" version.
