Supplication

Lyrics: John Barlow
Music: Bob Weir

First played by Bob Weir with Kingfish but then with the Grateful Dead and with his other solo bands. It was originally paired with Lazy Lightning but was then detached and played on its own.

Well dizzy ain't the word for the way that you making me feel now
Well I need some indication Lord that all of this is real now
You got to tell me girl
And I've heard it said there's something wrong with my head now
You got to help me girl
Could it be infatuation or am I just being misled
Little bolt of inspiration
The way you strike me now
It's sparking my imagination
You got to like me now
You're causing me such excitation
Don't you like it now
You got to hear my supplication
Got to hear me now
A little bolt of inspiration
The way you strike me now
It's sparking my imagination
