Why Didn't Rosemary?

IAN PAICE, JON LORD, NICHOLAS SIMPER, RITCHIE BLACKMORE, ROD EVANS

Vaguely inspired by an Otis Spann number,
And again it's an attempt to widen
The scope of a plain 12 bar sequence,
In fact the verses are 14 bars long
And the guitar solo verses are 17 bars long.
Interesting words from Rod.
There's a black hill
We had "to" 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?
