Awake lyrics - The Doors

Is everybody in?

Is everybody in?

Is everybody in?

The ceremony is about to begin

Wake up!

You can't remember where it was

Has this dream stopped?

Ghost Song lyrics - The Doors

Awake

Shake dreams from your hair

My pretty child, my sweet one

Choose the day and choose the sign of your day

The day's divinity

First thing you see

A vast radiant beach and cooled jeweled moon

Couples naked race down by its quiet side

And we laugh like soft, mad children

Smug in the woolly cotton brains of infancy

The music and voices are all around us

Choose they croon the ancient ones

The time has come again

Choose now, they croon

Beneath the moon

Beside an ancient lake

Enter again the sweet forest

Enter the hot dream

Come with us

Everything is broken up and dances

Indians scattered

On dawn's highway bleeding

Ghosts crowd the young child's

Fragile eggshell mind

We have assembled inside

This ancient and insane theater

To propagate our lust for life

And flee the swarming wisdom of the streets

The barns have stormed

The windows kept

And only one of all the rest

To dance and save us

From the divine mockery of words

Music inflames temperament

Ooh great creator of being

Grant us one more hour

To perform our art

And perfect our lives

We need great golden copulations

When the true kings murderers

Are allowed to roam free

A thousand magicians arise in the land

Where are the feast we are promised?

One more thing

Thank you oh lord

For the white blind light

Thank you oh lord

For the white blind light

A city rises from the sea

I had a splitting headache

From which the future's made

Dawn's Highway lyrics - The Doors

Me and my ah mother and father

And a grandmother and grandfather

Were driving through the desert, at dawn

And a truck load of Indian workers had

Either hit another car, or just

I don't know what happened

But there were Indians scattered

All over the highway, bleeding to death

So the car pulls up and stops

That was the first time I tasted fear

I musta been about four

Like a child is like a flower

His head is just floating in the breeze, man

The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back

Is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead Indians

Maybe one or two of 'em

Were just running around freaking out

And just leaped into my soul

And they're still in there

Newborn Awakening lyrics - The Doors

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding

Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile egg-shell mind

Blood in the streets

In the town of New Haven

Blood stains the roofs

And the palm trees of Venice

Blood in my love

In the terrible summer

Bloody red sun of

Phantastic L.A

Blood screams her brain

As they chop off her fingers

Blood will be born

In the birth of a nation

Blood is the rose of

Mysterious union

Blood on the rise

It's following me

Indian, Indian

What did you die for?

Indian says nothing at all

Gently they stir

Gently rise

The dead are new-born awakening

With ravaged limbs

And wet souls

Gently they sigh

In rapt funeral amazement

Who called these dead to dance?

Was it the young woman

Learning to play the "Ghost Song"

In her baby grand

Was it the wilderness children?

Was it the Ghost-God himself

Stuttering, cheering

Chatting blindly?

I called you up to

Anoint the earth

I called you to announce

Sadness falling like

Burned skin

I called you to wish you well

To glory in self like a new monster

And now I call on you to pray

To Come Of Age lyrics - The Doors

A military station in the desert

Can we resolve the past

Lurking jaws, joints of time?

The base

To come of age in a dry place

Holes and caves

My friend drove an hour each day from the mountains

The bus gives you a hard-on with books in your lap

Someone shot the bird in the afternoon dance show

They gave out free records to the best couple

Spades dance best, from the hip

Black Polished Chrome / Latino Chrome lyrics - The Doors

[Black Polished Chrome]

The music was new

Black polished chrome

And came over the summer

Like liquid night

The DJ's took pills to stay awake

And play for seven days

They went to the studio

And someone knew him

Someone knew the TV showman

He came to our homeroom party

And played records

And when he left in the hot noon sun

And walked to his car

We saw the chooks had written

F-U-C-K on his windshield

He wiped it off with a rag

And smiling coolly drove away

He's rich. Got a big car

[Latino Chrome]

My gang will get you

Scenes of rape in the arroyo

Seduction in cars, abandoned buildings

Fights at the food stand

The dust

The shoes

Open shirts and raised collars

Bright sculptured hair

Hey man, you want girls, pills, grass? C'mon

I show you good time

This place has everything. C'mon

I show you

Angels And Sailors lyrics - The Doors

Angels and sailors

Rich girls

Backyard fences

Tents

Dreams watching each other narrowly

Soft luxuriant cars

Girls in garages, stripped

Out to get liquor and clothes

Half gallons of wine and six-packs of beer

Jumped, humped, born to suffer

Made to undress in the wilderness

I will never treat you mean

Never start no kind of scene

I'll tell you every place and person that I've been

Always a playground instructor, never a killer

Always a bridesmaid on the verge of fame or over

He maneuvered two girls into his hotel room

One a friend, the other, the young one, a newer stranger

Vaguely Mexican or Puerto Rican

Poor boys thighs and buttock scarred by a father's belt

She's trying to rise

Story of her boyfriend, of teenage stoned death games

Handsome lad, dead in a car

Confusion

No connections

Come here

I love you

Peace on earth

Will you die for me?

Eat me

This way

The end

I'll always be true

Never go out, sneaking out on you, babe

If you'll only show me Far Arden again

I'm surprised you could get it up

He whips her lightly, sardonically, with belt

Haven't I been through enough? She asks

Now dressed and leaving

The Spanish girl begins to bleed

She says her period

It's Catholic heaven

I have an ancient Indian crucifix around my neck

My chest is hard and brown

Lying on stained, wretched sheets with a bleeding virgin

We could plan a murder

Or start a religion

Stoned Immaculate lyrics - The Doors

I'll tell you this...

No eternal reward will forgive us now

For wasting the dawn

Back in those days everything was simpler and more confused

One summer night, going to the pier

I ran into two young girls

The blonde one was called Freedom

The dark one, Enterprise

We talked and they told me this story

Now listen to this...

I'll tell you about Texas radio and the big beat

Soft driven, slow and mad

Like some new language

Reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine messenger

Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god

Wandering, wandering in hopeless night

Out here in the perimeter there are no stars

Out here we is stoned

Immaculate

The Movie lyrics - The Doors

The movie will begin in five moments

The mindless voice announced

All those unseated will await the next show

We filed slowly, languidly into the hall

The auditorium was vast and silent

As we seated and were darkened, the voice continued

The program for this evening is not new

You've seen this entertainment through and through

You've seen your birth your life and death

You might recall all of the rest

Did you have a good world when you died?

Enough to base a movie on?

I'm getting out of here

Where are you going?

To the other side of morning

Please don't chase the clouds, pagodas

Her cunt gripped him like a warm, friendly hand

It's alright, all your friends are here

When can I meet them?

After you've eaten

I'm not hungry

Uh, we meant beaten

Silver stream, silvery scream

Ooh, impossible concentration

Curses, Invocations lyrics - The Doors

Curses, Invocations

Weird bate-headed mongrels

I keep expecting one of you to rise

Large buxom obese queen

Garden hogs and cunt veterans

Quaint cabbage saints

Shit hoarders and individualists

Drag strip officials

Tight lipped losers and

Lustful fuck salesman

My militant dandies

All strange orders of monsters

Hot on the trail of the woodvine

We welcome you to our procession

Here come the Comedians

Look at them smile

Watch them dance an Indian mile

Look at them gesture

How aplomb

So to gesture everyone

Words dissemble

Words be quick

Words resemble walking sticks

Plant them they will grow

Watch them waver so

I'll always be a word man

Better then a bird man

American Night lyrics - The Doors

All hail the American night!

What was that?

I don't know

Sounds like guns...thunder

Oh, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel

Yeah, we're going to the Roadhouse

Gonna have a real

A good time

Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got some bungalows

Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got some bungalows

And that's for the people who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll

All night long

Do it, Robby, do it!

You got to roll, roll, roll

You got to thrill my soul, all right

Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer

The future's uncertain and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll

All night long

Alright! Alright! Alright!

Hey, listen! Listen! Listen, man! listen, man!

I don't know how many you people believe in astrology

Yeah, that's right...that's right, baby, I...I am a

Sagittarius

The most philosophical of all the signs

But anyway, I don't believe in it

I think it's a bunch of bullshit, myself

But I tell you this, man, I tell you this

I don't know what's going to happen, man, but I wanna have

My kicks before the whole shit house goes up in flames

Alright!

Roadhouse Blues lyrics - The Doors

Oh, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel

A good time

Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got some bungalows

And that's for the people who like to go down slow

Lament lyrics - The Doors

Lament for my cock

Sore and crucified

I seek to know you

Acquiring soulful wisdom

You can open walls of mystery

Strip show

How to acquire death in the morning show

TV death which the child absorbs

Deathwell mystery which makes me write

Slow train, the death of my cock gives life

Forgive the poor old people who gave us entry

Taught us God in the child's prayer in the night

Guitar player

Ancient wise satyr

Sing your ode to my cock

Caress its lament

Stiffen and guide us, we frozen

Lost cells

The knowledge of cancer

To speak to the heart

And give the great gift

Words, power, trance

This stable friend and the beast of his zoo

Wild haired chicks

Women flowering in their summit

Monsters of skin

Each color connects

To create the boat

Which rocks the race

Could any hell be more horrible

Than now and real?

I pressed her thigh and death smiled

Death, old friend

Death and my cock are the world

I can forgive my injuries in the name of

Wisdom, luxury, romance

Sentence upon sentence

Words are healing lament

For the death of my cock's spirit

Has no meaning in the soft fire

Words got me the wound and will get me well

If you believe it

All join now and lament for the death of my cock

A tongue of knowledge in the feathered night

Boys get crazy in the head and suffer

I sacrifice my cock in the altar of silence

The Hitchhiker lyrics - The Doors

Thoughts in time and out of season

The Hitchhiker

Stood by the side of the road

And leveled his thumb

In the calm calculus of reason

Hi. How you doing? I just got back into town L.A

I was out on the desert for awhile

Riders on the storm

Yeah. In the middle of it

Riders on the storm

Right

Into this House we're born

Hey, listen, man, I really got a problem

Into this world we're thrown

When I was out on the desert, ya know

Like a dog without a bone

An actor out on loan

I don't know how to tell you

Riders on the storm

But, ah, I killed somebody

There's a killer on the road

No

His brain is squirming like a toad

It's no big deal, you know

I don't think anybody will find out about it, but

Take a long holiday

Just, ah

Let your children play

This guy gave me a ride, and ah

If you give this man a ride

Started giving me a lot of trouble

Sweet family will die

And I just couldn't take it, you know

Killer on the road

And I wasted him

Yeah

An American Prayer / Hour For Magic / Freedom Exists / A Feast Of Friends lyrics - The Doors

Do you know the warm progress

Under the stars?

Do you know we exist?

Have you forgotten the keys

To the kingdom

Have you been borne yet

And are you alive?

Let's reinvent the gods, all the myths

Of the ages

Celebrate symbols from deep elder forests

(Have you forgotten the lessons

Of the ancient war)

We need great golden copulations

The fathers are cackling in trees

Of the forest

Our mother is dead in the sea

Do you know we are being led to

Slaughters by placid admirals

And that fat slow generals are getting

Obscene on young blood

Do you know we are ruled by T.V.

The moon is dry blood beast

Guerrilla bands are rolling numbers

In the next block of green vine

Amassing for warfare on innocent

Herdsman who are just dying

O great creator of being

Grant us one more hour to

Perform our art

And perfect our lives

The moths and atheists are doubly divine

And dying

We live, we die

And death not ends it

Journey we more into the

Nightmare

Cling to life

Our passion'd flower

Cling to cunts and cocks

Of despair

We got our final vision

By clap

Columbus groin got

Filled with green death

(I touched her thigh

And death smiled)

We have assembled inside this ancient

And insane theatre

To propagate our lust for life

And flee the swarming wisdom

Of the streets

The barns are stormed

The windows kept

And only one of all the rest

To dance and save us

With the divine mockery

Of words

Music inflames temperament

(When the true King's murderers

Are allowed to roam free

A 1000 magicians arise in the land)

Where are the feasts

We are promised

Where is the wine

The new wine

(Dying on the vine)

Resident mockery

Give us an hour for magic

We of the purple glove

We of the starling flight

And velvet hour

We of Arabic pleasures's breed

We of sundome and the night

Give us a creed

To believe

A night of lust

Give us trust in

The night

Give of color

Hundred hues

A rich mandala

For me and you

And for your silky

Pillowed house

A head, wisdom

And a bed

Troubled decree

Resident mockery

Has claimed thee

We used to believe

In the good old days

We still receive

In little ways

The things of kindness

And unsporting brow

Forget and allow

Did you know freedom exists

In a school book

Did you know madmen are running our prison

Within a jail, within a gaol

Within a white free protestant

Maelstrom

We're perched headlong

On the edge of boredom

We're reaching for death

On the end of a candle

We're trying for something

That's already found us

Wow, I'm sick of doubt

Live in the light of certain

South

Cruel bindings

The servants have the power

Dog-men and their mean women

Pulling poor blankets over

Our sailors

I'm sick of dour faces

Staring at me from the T.V. tower

I want roses in

My garden bower; dig?

Royal babies, rubies

Must now replace aborted

Strangers in the mud

These mutants, blood-meal

For the plant that's plowed

They are waiting to take us into

The severed garden

Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful

Comes death on a strange hour?

Unannounced, unplanned for

Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've

Brought to bed

Death makes angels of us all

And gives us wings

Where we had shoulders

Smooth as raven's

Claws

No more money, no more fancy dress

This other kingdom seems by far the best

Until its other jaw reveals incest

And loose obedience to a vegetable law

I will not go

Prefer a feast of friends

To the giant family

Babylon Fading lyrics - The Doors

Then we hear a whistle like a bison's pipe

And the carnival immediately begins

Gradually mixing rain

Thunder

Bullfight

Football

Playground

War

Penny-arcade

Babylon fading

Bird Of Prey lyrics - The Doors

Bird of Prey

Bird of Prey

Flying high

Flying high

In the summer sky

Bird of Prey

Bird of Prey

Flying high

Flying high

Gently pass on by

Bird of Prey

Bird of Prey

Flying high

Flying high

Am I going to die

Bird of Prey

Bird of Prey

Flying high

Flying high

Take me on your flight

Get Up And Dance lyrics - The Doors

Oh people, get up and dance

The new days coming, it's the end of a chance

No need to worry, no need to hide

Everybody is on the same side

Oh people, get up and dance

The future's ours if we just take a chance

No need to hurry, but no time to waste

The year 2000 is the cutoff page

Oh people, get up and dance

Like walkin' along an electric beam

It's the old crystal palace dream

Oh people, get up and dance

The new days comin', it's the end of a chance

The future's ours if we just take a chance

No need to hurry, but no time to waste

So come on people, get up and dance

Yeah, get up and dance

C'mon, let's get up and dance

Golden days

Get up and dance

4 Billion Souls lyrics - The Doors

One, two, three, four billion souls are gonna rest

If all our friends don't try their best

To change the way this world is headed for

We can find our happiness

It ain't so hard to find

Just look a little further up the line

Just a little further up in time

Don't you see that we could be the first in history

Leavin' all that we don't need behind

We could clean it up and make it shine

Verdilac lyrics - The Doors

I'm gonna hang on your neck just like a verdilac

Take you for a ride in my Cadillac

Well I tried, I tried but I can't make you understand

Baby can't you see I'm more than just a man

If you don't bring me coffee in my favourite cup

You're make it necessary for me to conjure up

Spirits

Spirits

I'm gonna hang on your neck just like good luck

Take you for a ride in my Cadillac

Well I tried, I tried but I can't make you understand

If you don't bring me coffee in my favourite cup

You're make it necessary for me to conjure up

Spirits

Spirits

Spirits

Hardwood Floor lyrics - The Doors

Gonna tell your daddy that we need some dough

We're gonna get married down in Mexico

We got love, don't need no more

But all we got to live on is a hardwood floor

You know all we got to live on is a hardwood floor

We got love don't need no more

All we got to live on is a hardwood floor

All we got to live on is a hardwood floor

All we got to live on

All we got to live on

All we got to live on is a hardwood floor

Like I said before

Well I had a lot of money about a year ago

Spent all my money on a rock 'n' roll show

I got a lot to tell, ain't got nothing to show

All we got to live on is a hardwood floor

On this hardwood floor

On this hardwood floor

Well I went to see your daddy but he sure got sore

He said you oughta be out there fighting the war

I asked him for some money, he said what for

I told him all we got to live on is a hardwood floor

You know all we got to live on is a hardwood floor

We got love don't need no more

All we got to live on is a hardwood floor

On this hardwood floor

On this hardwood floor

On this hardwood floor

All we got to live on is this hardwood floor

All we got to live on is this hardwood floor

Good Rockin' lyrics - The Doors

Hold my baby tight as a pin

Tonight she'll know how my mind might have been

Well I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Well meet me in a hurry, behind the barn

The Mosquito lyrics - The Doors

No me moleste mosquito

No me moleste mosquito

No me moleste mosquito

Why don't you go home?

No me moleste mosquito

Let me eat my burrito

No me moleste mosquito

Why don't you go home?

The Piano Bird lyrics - The Doors

A bird sings outside my piano

Lark of sweet love singing low

The more I play, the more he sings

He lives right up there in the green tree

Singing to me melodies

And in return, I play for him

I played him a song on my piano

Well, I played real good, I played what I could

And in return, he sang for me

He lives right out there in the tree

Giving me his melodies

A bird sings outside my piano

Well, I played real good, I played what I could

And in return, he sang for me

He lives right out there in the tree

Giving me his melodies

A bird sings outside my piano

A bird sings outside my piano

Lark of sweet love singing low

He lives right up there in the green tree

Singing to me melodies

The more I play, the more he sings

A bird sings outside my piano

It Slipped My Mind lyrics - The Doors

You know it just done slipped my mind

Just done slipped my mind

Just so hard to find

You know it just done slipped my mind

I left my body somewhere down the line

It's just so easy to lose track of time

You know it just done slipped my mind

You know it just done slipped my mind

It wouldn't matter but it's time to meditate

You know it just done slipped my mind

My memories undefined

They must have spiked my wine

Because it just done slipped my mind

My mind and body are still out of tune

I hope they run into each other real soon

You know it just done slipped my mind

You know it just done slipped my mind

I wouldn't mind but it's cold here on the moon

You know it just done slipped my mind

You know it just done slipped my mind

My memories undefined

You know it just done slipped my mind

They must have spiked my wine

My mind and body are still out of tune

I hope they run into each other real soon

You know it just done slipped my mind

You know it just done slipped my mind

I wouldn't mind but it's cold here on the moon

You know it just done slipped my mind

You know it just done slipped my mind

The Peking King And The New York Queen lyrics - The Doors

Well, I heard a story you can judge it's worth

About the sun and the moon

This time they came down to earth

They passed in the heavens each day up above

Time after time and it soon became love

They could not touch, they could not kiss

They had no flesh, no earthly bliss

So they made a scheme, they made a plan

They would come down to earth as a woman and a man

She rode a lunar wave, he flew a solar beam

They took on human forms to live out a dream

The most beautiful people that I've ever seen

They were the Peking King and the New York Queen

I said the Peking King and the New York Queen

As fate would have it in the toss of the dice

They went to opposite ends of this world of our lives

Opposite eyes, opposite minds

Such things matter in these troubled times

Peking in the East and New York in the West

Each place thought that it was the best

But the sun and the moon on their earthly quest

Knew without a doubt that it was all the best

They said what does it matter how you read a book

It's all the same no matter how it looks

Well the only thing important to the Peking King

Was bein' in the arms of his New York Queen

Thousand of miles, they were so far apart

How to get together? Oh, where to start?

On the California Zephyr and the Shanghai Express

He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west

No passports, no visas, no government quotas

No secret missile sites in South Dakota

No red tape, no red guard could stop the dream

Of the Peking King and the New York Queen

I said, the Peking King and the New York Queen

Well they found a little island in the Philippines

It was a perfect little place to live out a dream

They say East is East, West is West

They say the twain won't meet, but don't you take that bet

'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream

Of the Peking King and the New York Queen

The Peking King and the New York Queen

'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream

'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream

Of the Peking King and the New York Queen

The Peking King and the New York Queen

You're invited to the wedding of the sun and the moon

In The Eye Of The Sun lyrics - The Doors

In the eye of the sun before the world had begun

Taking it easy, I was having some fun

Laughing and a joking it was all energy

No such thing as you and or me

No time, you are mine

In the eye of the sun before the world had begun

It had been a lot of work the last time around

Needed a rest, a chance to just lie down

Always on the go, no time to kill

A lot of running to and fro hard working in the mill

So it blew up and I threw up

Into the eye of the sun before the world had begun

Well I hung around, don't know how many years

No more troubles, no more fears

Had a lot of rest nothing to do

But I got kind of bored with nothing to do

I wanted flesh and blood, skin and bones

Multidimensional, universal home

I wanted space and time up and down

Life and dead, blood all around

I knew there'd be trouble, but I could pull through

So I thought of the world and humans too

Variety Is The Spice Of Life lyrics - The Doors

Well variety is the spice of life

That's what the judge is going to tell my wife

She said why did you have to do it, why you such a fool?

I can't resist to try something new

Well the judge said guilty in the first degree

I said can I help it if I take all the publicity

All these pretty women, with nothing to do

Come on and help me try to find something new

You gotta try everything once

You better take out some insurance

You gotta try everything once

You better build up your endurance

Well variety is the spice of life

That's what the judge is gonna tell my wife

She said why did you have to do it? Why you such a fool?

I can't resist to try something new

You got a full house baby, I got four of a kind

I'm watching six different televisions all at one time

You know I love you baby, sad but it's true

You gotta try everything once

You better take out some insurance

You gotta try everything once

You better build up your endurance

Well variety is the spice of life

That's what the judge is gonna tell my wife

She said why did you have to do it? Why you such a fool?

I can't resist to try something new

Ships w/Sails lyrics - The Doors

Well, you asked how much I love you

Why do ships with sails love the wind?

And will I be thinking of you?

Will I ever pass this way again?

I'll be returning some day

Until then

Please don't ask me my direction

Let my tracks be buried in the sea

'Cause to wander's my infection

'Til the four winds bring you back to me

Don't count your memories

Think of me as just a dream

Just like this melody, I sing

Well, you asked how much I love you

Why do ships with sails love the wind?

And will I be thinking of you?

Will I ever pass this way again?

I'll be returning some day

Until then

Please don't ask me my direction

Let my tracks be buried in the sea

'Cause to wander's my infection

'Til the four winds bring you back to me

Don't count your memories

Think of me as just a dream

Just like this melody, I sing

Tightrope Ride lyrics - The Doors

You're on a tightrope ride, nobody by your side

Well, you're all alone, gotta find a new home

Don't go over the line. You better keep on time

Or you'll lose your mind on your tightrope ride

Watch out, don't fall! Careful, don't slip!

You better get your balance, you have to feel the way

There are no more questions, no answers today

There are no reasons, there are no more rhymes

But if you feel it, you can fly next time

You can fly next time, or maybe this time

Did you think we were all together?

Did you think we were all the same?

Did you think maybe I could help you

Remember your name, remember the game

What's the name of the game

It's a very good game, never stays the same

It's the number one from mud to sun

You're on a tightrope ride, we're all by your side

But you're all alone, and we're going home

And we're by your side, but you're all alone

Like a Rolling Stone, like Brian Jones

On a tightrope ride

Down On The Farm lyrics - The Doors

Don't need none today

His mind has gone astray

'Cause we don't need none today

Did you hear what I say?

Don't need none today

Gonna run a rainbow ragged

City life's a real bad habit

All the boys are down on the farm

Gonna run a rainbow ragged

City life's a real bad habit

C'mon along it won't do you no harm

We're goin' down on the farm

Don't need none today

His mind has gone astray

'Cause we don't need none today

Did you hear what I say?

Don't need none today

Gonna run a rainbow ragged

City life's a real bad habit

All the boys are down on the farm

Gonna run a rainbow

Gonna run a rainbow

Gonna run a rainbow

Gonna run a rainbow

Gonna run a rainbow ragged

City life's a real bad habit

C'mon along it won't do you no harm

All the boys are down on the farm

I'm Horny, I'm Stoned lyrics - The Doors

Well, I'm tired, I'm nervous, I'm bored, I'm stoned

Don't you know life ain't so easy when you're on your own?

I'm lonely, I'm ugly, I'm horny, I'm cold

Don't you know life ain't so easy when you're on your own

Leavin' home

Well, I got ripped off, wiped out, I got burned

Don't you know life ain't so easy when you're on your own?

Leavin' home

I feel my mind is shaking out of place

I look like a truck ran over my face

The doctor says I'm not a hopeless case

I really want to join the human race

Well, I got ripped off, wiped out, I got burned

Don't you know life ain't so easy when you're on your own?

Well, I'm tired, I'm nervous, I'm bored, I'm stoned

Don't you know life ain't so easy when you're on your own?

Leavin' home, on your own

On your own

Wandering Musician lyrics - The Doors

Please don't tell me what to do

'Cause even if I wanted to

I couldn't throw my life away

By listening to what you say

I'm telling you, ain't nothing you can do to change my way

Hey, hey, hey

Ain't no way gonna make me think like you do

No matter if the sun or the stars say I'm wrong

It's just a song of the lonely wandering musician

I'm telling you, ain't nothing you can do to change my way

No, no, no, no, no

Ain't no way gonna make me think like you do

It's just a song of a lonely wandering musician

I'm telling you, ain't nothing you can do to change my way

Hey, hey, hey

Ain't no way

Hey, hey, hey

Ain't no way

Hey, hey, hey

Ain't no way

Hang On To Your Life lyrics - The Doors

Sweet bird of prey you've gone below

All soft and black it's time to grow

Don't be afraid to touch the light

Don't run from love in the starless night

Hang on to your life it's begun now

Hang on paradise here we come now

Life is like the wind, where does it begin?

Time come again, where's your day now?

Bring me your sunlight, it's the way now

Just spread your wings and taste the sky

It's time to laugh, it's time to fly

The mountain air is clear and bright

Your shadow world is endless night

Hang on to your life it's begun now

Hang on paradise here we come now

Hang on to your life it's begun now

Hang on paradise here we come now

Life is like the wind, where's it gonna end?

Cars Hiss By My Window lyrics - The Doors

The cars hiss by my window

Like the waves down on the beach

I got this girl beside me

But she's out of reach

Headlight through my window

Shinin' on the wall

Headlight through my window

Shinin' on the wall

Can't hear my baby

Though I called and called

Yeah, right

Woo!

Windows started tremblin'

With a sonic boom

Windows started tremblin'

With a sonic boom, boom

In a darkened room

L.A. Woman lyrics - The Doors

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow

Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows

Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light?

Or just another lost angel?

City of Night, City of Night

City of Night, City of Night

L.A. woman, L.A. woman

L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon

L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon

L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon

Drive through your suburbs

Into your blues, into your blues, yeah

Into your blues, into your blues!

I see your hair is burning

Hills are filled with fire

If they say I never loved you

You know they are a liar

Driving down your freeways

Midnight alleys roam

Cops in cars, the topless bars

Never saw a woman so alone

So alone, so alone, so alone

Motel money murder-madness

Let's change the mood from glad to sadness

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

Got to keep on risin'

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'

Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'

Risin', risin'

Gone risin', risin'

I'm gone risin', risin'

I gotta risin', risin'

Well, risin', risin'

I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'

Whoa, oh yeah

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow

Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows

Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Lights?

Or just another lost angel?

City of Night, City of Night

City of Night, City of Night, whoa, c'mon

L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman

L.A. Woman, you're my woman

Little L.A. Woman, Little L.A. Woman

L.A. L.A. Woman Woman

L.A. Woman c'mon

L'America lyrics - The Doors

Yeah I took a trip down to L'America

To trade some beads for a pint of gold

I took a trip down to L'America

To trade some beads for a pint of gold

L'America, L'America, L'America

L'America, L'America, L'America

C'mon people, don't you look so down

You know the rain man's comin' to town

Change the weather, change your luck

And then he'll teach you how to...find yourself

L'America

Friendly strangers came to town

All the people put them down

But, the women loved their ways

Come again some other day

Like the gentle rain

Like the gentle rain that falls

I took a trip down to L'America

To trade some beads for a pint of gold

I took a trip down to L'America

To trade some beads for a pint of gold

L'America, L'America, L'America

L'America, L'America, L'America

L'America

Hyacinth House lyrics - The Doors

What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

To please the lions, yeah, this day

I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me

I need a brand new friend who doesn't trouble me

I need someone, yeah, who doesn't need me

I see the bathroom is clear

I think that somebody's near

I'm sure that someone is following me, oh yeah

Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?

Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?

It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play

And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend

And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend

And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend, the end

Crawling King Snake lyrics - The Doors

Gonna crawl no more

The Wasp (Texas Radio And The Big Beat) lyrics - The Doors

I wanna tell you 'bout Texas radio and the big beat

Comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow

With rugged precision

The back beat narrow and hard to master

Some call it heavenly in its brilliance

Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream

I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft

We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping

This is the land where the Pharaoh die

The Negroes in the forest, brightly feathered

They are saying, forget the night

Live with us in forests of azure

Out here on the perimeter, there are no stars

Out here we is stoned, immaculate

Now listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache

I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the, loss of God

I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night

The meager food for souls forgot

I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul

I'll tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now

For wasting the dawn

I'll tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat

Soft driven, slow and mad, like some new language

Now listen to this and I'll tell you about the Texas

I'll tell you about the Texas, radio

I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night

Wandering the western dream

Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul

Riders On The Storm lyrics - The Doors

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Into this house we're born

Into this world we're thrown

Like a dog without a bone

An actor out on loan

Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road

His brain is squirmin' like a toad

Take a long holiday

Let your children play

If you give this man a ride

Sweet family will die

Killer on the road, yeah

Girl, you gotta love your man

Girl, you gotta love your man

Take him by the hand

Make him understand

The world on you depends

Our life will never end

Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Into this house we're born

Into this world we're thrown

Like a dog without a bone

An actor out on loan.

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

At first flash of Eden

We raced down to the sea

Standing there on freedom's shore

Waiting for the sun

Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting

Waiting for you to come along

Waiting for you to hear my song

Peace Frog lyrics - Peace Frog

There's blood in the streets

It's up to my ankles

(She came) Blood in the streets

It's up to my knee

(She came) Blood in the streets

In the town of Chicago

(She came) Blood on the rise

It's following me

Think about the break of day

She came and then she drove away

Sunlight in her hair

(She came) Blood in the streets

Runs a river of sadness

(She came) Blood in the streets, it's up to my thigh

(She came) Yeah, the river runs red

Down the legs of a city

(She came) The women are crying

Red rivers of weepin'

She came in town and then she drove away

Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding

Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven

Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice

Blood in my love in the terrible summer

Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A

Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers

Blood will be born in the birth of a nation

Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There's blood in the streets

It's up to my ankles

Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee

Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago

Blood on the rise, it's following me

Blue Sunday lyrics - Blue Sunday

I found my own true love was on a blue Sunday

Now I have found my girl

She is my girl

La, la, la, la

My girl awaits for me in tender time

My girl is mine, she is the world

She is my girl

Land Ho! lyrics - Land Ho!

Grandma loved a sailor

Who sailed the frozen sea

Grandpa was that whaler

And he took me on his knee

He said, "Son, I'm going crazy

From living on the land

Got to find my shipmates

And walk on foreign sands"

This old man was graceful

With silver in his smile

He smoked a briar pipe and

He walked four country miles

Singing songs of shady sisters

And old time liberty

Songs of love and songs of death

And songs to set men free

Oh! Eh!

I've got three ships and sixty men

A course for ports unread

I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow

'Til half of us are dead

Land ho!

Well if I get my hands on a dollar bill

Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill

If I get my hands on a number five

Gonna skin that little girl alive

If I get my hands on a number two

Come back home and marry you

Marry you

Marry you alright

Eh, land ho!

Eh, land ho!

Well if I get back home and I feel all right

You know babe I'm gonna love you tonight

Love you 'night, love you 'night

Eh, land ho!

Eh, land ho!

Eh, land ho!

She was a princess

Save the blind tiger

Now they are wedded

She is a good girl

Naked as children

Out in a meadow

Naked as children

Wild as can be

Soon to have offspring

Start it all over

Start it all over

Whirl-pool

Formless

Hope it can continue

A little while longer, c'mon

Miss Maggie M'Gill, she lived on a hill

Her daddy got drunk and left her no will

So she went down, down to Tangy Town

People down there really like to get it on

Go out and buy a brand new pair of shoes

And you go down, down to Tangy Town

'Cause people down there really like to get it on

Get it on, hey

Illegitimate son of a rock n' roll star

Ever since the world began, yeah

Tell All The People lyrics - The Doors

Tell all the people that you see

Follow me

Follow me down

Tell all the people that you see

Set them free

Follow me down

You tell them they don't have to run

We're going to pick up everyone

Come out and take me by my hand

Going to bury all our troubles in the sand, oh yeah

Can't you see the wonder at your feet

Your life's complete

Follow me down

Can't you see me growing, get your guns

The time has come

To follow me down

Follow me across the sea

Where milky babies seem to be

Molded, flowing revelry

With the one that set them free

Tell all the people that you see

It's just me

Follow me down

Tell all the people that you see

Follow me

Follow me down

Tell all the people that you see

We'll be free

Follow me down

Tell all the people that you see

It's just me

Follow me down

Tell all the people that you see

Follow me

Follow me down

Follow me down

You've got to follow me down

Follow me down

Tell all the people that you see

We'll be free

Follow me down

Tell all the people you see

Follow me

Got to follow me down

Touch Me lyrics - The Doors

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Now touch me, babe

Can't you see that I am not afraid?

What was that promise that you made?

Why won't you tell me what she said?

What was that promise that you made?

Now, I'm going to love you

'Til the heavens stop the rain

I'm going to love you

'Til the stars fall from the sky

For you and I

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Now touch me, babe

Can't you see that I am not afraid?

What was that promise that you made?

Why won't you tell me what she said?

What was that promise that you made?

Now, I'm going to love you

'Til the heavens stop the rain

I'm going to love you

'Til the stars fall from the sky

For you and I

I'm going to love you

'Til the heavens stop the rain

I'm going to love you

'Til the stars fall from the sky

For you and I

Stronger than dirt

Shaman's Blues lyrics - The Doors

There will never be

Another one like you

There will never be

Another one who can

Do the things you do, oh

Will you give another chance?

Will you try, little try?

Please stop and you remember

We were together, anyway, all right

And if you have a certain evenin'

You could lend to me

I'd give it all right back to you

A how it has to be with you

I know your moves and your mind

And your mind

And your mind

And your mind

And your mind

And your mind

And your mind

Will you stop and think and wonder?

Just what you'll see

Out on the train yard

Nursin' penitentiary

It's gone, I cry out long

Go head, brother

Did you stop it to consider?

How it will feel

Cold, grinding grizzly bear jaws

Hot on your heels

Do you often stop and whisper?

It's Saturday's shore

The whole world's a savior

Who could ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever

Ask for more?

Do you remember?

Will you stop?

Will you stop?

The pain

And there will never be

Another one like you

There will never be

Another one who can

Do the things you do, oh

Will you give another chance?

Will you try, little try?

Please stop and you remember

We were together, anyway, all right

How you must of think and wondered

How I must feel

Out on the meadows

While you run the field

I'm alone for you

And I cry

The sweat, look at it

Optical promise

Heh, heh, heh

You'll be dead and in hell

Before I'm born

Sure thing

Brides maid

The only solution

Isn't it amazing?

Easy Ride lyrics - The Doors

And I know

It will be

An easy ride, all right

And I know

It will be

Easy ride, OK

The mask that you wore

My fingers would explore

Costume of control

Excitement soon unfolds

And I know

It will be

Easy ride, yeah

Joy, for vaguely

Wishful pride

Wishful pride, yeah

Black polished stone

Black polished stone

I see your eyes

Like burnin' glass

Like burnin' glass

Hear you smile, smile, babe

The mask that you wore

My fingers would explore

Costume of control

Excitement soon unfolds, hey

Easy, baby

Call the queen, now

Be my bride

Ragin' darkness

By my side

Seize the summer

In your pride

Take the winter

In your stride

Let's ride, yeah

Easy, easy, easy

Easy, easy, ease, easy

Yeah, yeah, ride

Dum, dum, dum, dum

Dum, dum, dum

Ride

Wild Child lyrics - The Doors

All right

Wild child full of grace

Savior of the human race

Your cool face

Natural child, terrible child

Not your mother's or your father's child

Your our child, screaming wild

An ancient lunatic reigns

In the trees of the night

Ha, ha, ha, ha

With hunger at her heels

Freedom in her eyes

She dances on her knees

Pirate prince at her side

Staring into the hollow idol's eye

Wild child full of grace

Savior of the human race

Your cool face

Your cool face

Your cool face

Do you remember when we were in Africa?

Runnin' Blue lyrics - The Doors

Poor Otis dead and gone

Left me here to sing his song

Pretty little girl with the red dress on

Poor Otis dead and gone

Yeah, back down, turn around slowly

Try it again, remembering when

It was easy, try it again

Much too easy, remembering when

All right, look at my shoes

Not quite the walkin' blues

Don't fight, too much to lose

Can't fight the runnin' blues

Well, I've got the runnin' blues

Runnin' away, back to L.A

Got to find the dock of the bay

Maybe find it back in L.A

Runnin' scared

Runnin' blue

Goin' so fast

What'll I do

Well, I've got the runnin' blues

Runnin' away, back to L.A

Got to find the dock of the bay

Maybe find it back in L.A

All right, look at my shoes

Not quite the walkin' blues

Don't fight, too much to lose

Can't fight the runnin' blues

All right, look at my shoes

Not quite the walkin' blues

Don't fight, too much to lose

Can't fight the runnin' blues

Wishful Sinful lyrics - The Doors

Wishful crystal

Water covers everything in blue

Coolin' water

Wishful sinful

Our love is beautiful to see

I know where I would like to be

Right back where I came

Wishful, sinful, wicked blue

Water covers you

Wishful, sinful, wicked you

Can't escape the blues

Magic risin'

Sun is shinin' deep beneath the sea

But not enough for you and me and sunshine

Love to hear the wind cry

Wishful sinful

Our love is beautiful to see

I know where I would like to be

Right back where I came

Wishful, sinful, wicked blue

Water covers you

Wishful, sinful, wicked you

Can't escape the blues

Love to hear the wind cry

Love to hear you cry, yeah, yeah

The Soft Parade lyrics - The Doors

When I was back there in seminary school

There was a person there

Who put forth the proposition

That you can petition the Lord with prayer

Petition the Lord with prayer

Petition the Lord with prayer

You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!

Can you give me sanctuary

I must find a place to hide

A place for me to hide

Can you find me soft asylum

I can't make it anymore

The Man is at the door

Peppermint, miniskirts, chocolate candy

Champion sax and a girl named Sandy

There's only four ways to get unraveled

One is to sleep and the other is travel, da da

One is a bandit up in the hills

One is to love your neighbor 'til

His wife gets home

Catacombs

Nursery bones

Winter women

Growing stones

Carrying babies

To the river

Streets and shoes

Avenues

Letter writers

Selling news

The monk bought lunch

Ha ha, he bought a little

Yes, he did

Woo!

This is the best part of the trip

This is the trip, the best part

I really like

What'd he say?

Yeah!

Yeah, right!

Pretty good, huh

Huh!

Yeah, I'm proud to be a part of this number

Successful hills are here to stay

Everything must be this way

Gentle streets where people play

Welcome to the Soft Parade

All our lives we sweat and save

Building for a shallow grave

Must be something else we say

Somehow to defend this place

Everything must be this way

Everything must be this way, yeah

The Soft Parade has now begun

Listen to the engines hum

People out to have some fun

A cobra on my left

Leopard on my right, yeah

The deer woman in a silk dress

Girls with beads around their necks

Kiss the hunter of the green vest

Who has wrestled before

With lions in the night

Out of sight!

The lights are getting brighter

The radio is moaning

Calling to the dogs

There are still a few animals

Left out in the yard

But it's getting harder

To describe sailors

To the underfed

Tropic corridor

Tropic treasure

What got us this far

To this mild equator?

We need someone or something new

Something else to get us through, yeah, come on

Calling on the dogs

Calling on the dogs

Oh, it's getting harder

Calling on the dogs

Calling in the dogs

Calling all the dogs

Calling on the gods

You got to meet me

Too late, baby

Slay a few animals

At the crossroads

Too late

All in the yard

But it's getting harder

By the crossroads

You got to meet me

Oh, we're going, we're going great

At the edge of town

Tropic corridor

Tropic treasure

Having a good time

Got to come along

What got us this far

To this mild equator?

Outskirts of the city

You and I

We need someone new

Something new

Something else to get us through

Better bring your gun

Better bring your gun

Tropic corridor

Tropic treasure

We're going to ride and have some fun

When all else fails

We can whip the horse's eyes

And make them sleep

And cry
