The Waiting for the Sun (C) 1968
The Celebration of the Lizard ( Jim Morrison )
Lions in the street are roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town
He went down South and crossed the boarder
Left the chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel with a strange creature
groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin
Is everybody in ?
The ceremony is about to begin
Wake up
You can't remember where it was
Had this dream stopped ?
The smoke was pale gold, glazed & shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The streets were hot dead prisons
Now rut to the mirror in the bathroom
Look
I can't live through each slow century of her moving
I let my cheek slide down
The cool smooth tile feel the good cold stringing blood
The smooth hissing snakes of rain
Once I had a little game
I liked to crawl back into my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called 'go insane'
Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes, forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And we'll erect a different steeple
This little game is fun to do
Just close your eyes, no way to lose
And I'm right here, I'm going too
Release control, we're breaking through
Way back deep into the brain
Back where there's never any pain
And the rain fall gently on the town
And in the labyrinth of streams beneath the quiet unearthly presence
of nervous hill dwellers in the gentle hills around reptilies
abounding fossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold
Windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust blind under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in streets
And daughters, smug
With semen eyes in their nipples
Wait
There's been a slaughter here
( Don't stop to speak or look around
Your gloves & fan are on the ground
We're getting out of town
We're going on the run
And you're the one I want to come )

Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Let's run
House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
The mansion is warm at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and comfort's there
Red are arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
C'mon along, we're not going very far
To the East meet the Czar
Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up girl! We're almost home
Sun
Sun
Sun
Burn
Burn
Burn
Soon
Soon
Soon
Moon
Moon
Moon
I will get you
Soon!
Soon!
Soon!
Let the carnival bell ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything
We came down the rivers & higways
We came down from forests & falls
We came down from Carson & Springfield
We came down from Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you the names of the kingdom
I can tell you the things that you know
Listening for the fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into shade
I am the lizard king
I can do anything
I can make the earth stop in its tracks
For seven years I dwelt
In the loose palace of exile
Plaing strange games
With the girl of the island
Now I have come again to the land of the fair & strong & wise
Brothers & sisters of the pale forest & children of Night
Who among you will run with the hunt ?
Now Night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents & your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready!

She's walkin' down the street
Blind to ev'ry eye she meets,
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
[Ref.]
She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked and her legs are lang.
When she moves,my brain screams out this song.
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet.
Do you hope to make her see,you fool?
Doyou hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello.Hello.Hello.Hello.
LOVE STREET.
She lives on Love Street,
Lingers long on Love Street,

I would like to see what happens.
She has robes and she has monkeys,
Lazy diamond-studed flunkies,
She has wisdom and knows what to do,
She has me and she has you.
I see you Live on Love Street;
There's the store where the creatures meet.
I wonder what they do in there,
Summer Sunday and a year.
I guess I like it fine so far.
She lives on Love Street,lingers long on Love Street.

SUMMER'S ALMOST GONE.
Summer's almost gone,
Summer's almost gone,
Almost gone,yeh,it's almost gone.
Where will we be when the summer's gone?
Morning found us calmly unaware,
Noon burned gold into our hair,
At night we swam the laughing sea.
When summer's gone,where will we be?
Summer's almost gone,Summer's almost gone
We had some good times but they're gone
The winter's coming on,summer's almost gone.
THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER.
Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older.
The unknown sddier
Practice where the news is read
Television children dead
Unborn, living, dead,
Bullet strikes the helmet's head.
And it's all over for the unknown soldier,
It's all over for the unknown soldier.
Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder.
The unknown soldier
Practise where the news is read
Television children dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
It's all over, the war is over...
WE COULD BE SO GOOD TOGETHER.
We could be so good together,
Yeh, so good together,

Yeh, we could, I know we could,
Tell you lies, I'll tell you wicked lies,
Tell you lies, tell you wiched.
I tell you 'bout the world that we'll invent,
Wanton world without lament,
Enterprise, expedition,
Invitation and invention.

Angels dance and angels die.
SPANISH CARAVAN.

Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain,
Andalusia, with fields full of grain,
I have to see you again and again.
Take me, Spanish Caravan,

MY WILD LOVE.
My wild love went riding,
She rode all the day;
She rode to the devil,
And asked him to pay.
The devil was wiser.
It's time to repent;
He asked her to give back,
The money he spent.
My wild love went riding,
She rode to sea;
She gathered together
Some shells for her hair.
She rode on to Christmas,
She rode to the farm;
She rode to japan
And re-entered a town.
My wild love is crazy
She screams like a bird;
She moans like a cat
When she wants to be heard.
She rode and she rode on
She rode for a while,
Then stopped for an evening
And laid her head down.
By this time the weather
Had changed one degree,
She asked for the people
To let her go free.
My wild love went riding,
She rode for an hour;
She stopped and she rested,
And then she rode on.
WINTERTIME LOVE.
Wintertime winds blow cold this season,
Falling in love I'm hopin' to be.

Keeping you warm, your hands touching me.
REF:
[Come with me, dance, my dear,
Winter's so cold this year.
You are so warm, my Wintertime Love to be.]
Wintertime winds blue and freezin'
Comin' from northern storms in the sea.

Trying so desperately to be free.

May take a week and it may take londer,
They got the duns but we got the numbers.
Gonna win, yeh, we're takin' over, come on.
Your ballroom days are over, baby,
Night is drawing near,
Shadows of the evening grow across the year.
You walk across the floor with a flower in your hand,
Trying to tell me no one understands,
Trading your house for a handful of olimes.
Gonna make it, baby, in our prime.
Get together one more time.
Get together one more time.
CHANGELING.

But I never been so broke that I couldn't leave town.

Friend you greet in the swarming street.
See me change, see me change.
I'm leaving town on the midnight train
Gonna see me change, change, change...
LOVE HER MADLY.

Don't you need her badly?
Don't you love her ways?
Tell me what you say?

Want to be her daddy?

Don't you love her as she's walking out the door?
Like she did one thousand times before.
Don't you love her ways?
Tell me what you say
Don't you love her as she's walking out the door?
All your love, all your love,
All your love, all your love,
All your love is gone,
So sing a lonely song of a deep blue dream.
Seven horses seem to be on the mark.
L.A.WOMAN.
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 angels.

Hills are filled with fire;

You know they are a liar.
Driving down the freeway
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.
Mister Mojo risin' mister Mojo risin'

CARS HISS BY MY WINDOW.
The cars hiss by my window

I got this girl beside me, but she's out of reach.
Headlights thru my window shining on the wall
Headlights thru my window clining on the wall,
Can't hear my baby tho' I call and call.
Window starts to tremble with a sonic boom.

Cold girl will kill you in a darkened room.

Standing there on freedom's shore.

THE SOFT PARADE.

a person there who put forth the proposition
that you can petition the Lord with prayer...
Petition the Lord with prayer...petition the Lord

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 the other is travel,
One is a band it up in the hills,
One is to love your neighbor till his wife gets home.

Winter women growing stones,
Carrying babes to the river;
Streets and shoes, avenues,
Leather riders selling news.

Listen to the engines hum.
People out to have some fun,

Girls with beads around their necks,
Kiss the hunter of the green vest
Who has wrestled before with lions in the night.

Left out in the yard, but it's getting harder

Something else to get us through.

PEACE FROG.
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 of the town of Chicago,
Blood on the rise, it's following me,
Just about the break of day.
She came, then she drove away, sunlight in her hair.
Blood on the streets runs a river of sadness.
Blood in the streets, it's up to my thigh.
The river runs down the legs of the city;
The women are crying red rivers of weeping.
She came in town and then she went away,
sunlight in her hair.
Indians scattered on dawn's highway
Bleeding ghosts crowd the young child's fragile
Egg-shell mind.
Blood in the streets of 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 the chop off her fingers.
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation;
Blood is the rose of mysterious union.
SHAMAN'S BLUES.
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 a little try?
Please stop and you'll remember
we were together, any way.
All right
Now, if you have a certain evening you could lend to me,
I'll give it all right back to you.
Know how it has to be with you.
I know your moods and your mind, and your mind
and your mind, and your mind, and you're mine.
Will you stop to think and wonder
just what you'll see
Out on the trainyard nursing penitentiary.
It's gone. I cry out long.
Did you stop to consider how it will feel,
Cold grindin' grizzly bear jaws hot on your heels.
Do you often stop and whisper in
Saturday's shore that
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?
How you must think and wonder
How I must feel out on the meadows
While you're on the field.
I'm alone for you, and I cry.
He's sweatin', look at him...optical promise...you'll
be dead and in hell before I'm borne...sure
thing...bridesmaid...the only solution - isn't it amazing?
RUNNIN' BLUES.
Poor Otis dead and gone, left me here to sing his song,
Pretty litlle girl with the red dress on,
Poor Otis dead and gone.
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 on the bay
Maybe find it back in L.A.
Runnin' scared, Runnin' Blues,
Goin' so fast, what'll I do?
All right, look at my shoes, not quite the walkin' blues,
Don't fight, too much to lose;
Can't find the Runnin' Blues.
WISHFUL SINFUL.
Wishful crystal water covers ev'rything in blue cooling 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 blue.
Magic rising sun is shining, deep beneath the sea.
But, not enough for you and me and sunshine.
Love to hear the wind cry.
You and me and sunshine, love to hear the wind cry.
THE CRYSTAL SHIP.
Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss,
Another flashing chance at bliss,
Another kiss, another kiss.
The days are bright and filled with pain.
Enclose me in your gentle rain,
The time you ran was too insane,
We'll meet again, we'll meet again.
Oh' tell me where your freedom lies,
The streets are fields that never die,
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly.
The crystal ship is being filled,
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills,
A million ways to spend your time;
When we get back, I'll drop a line.
SHIP OF FOOLS.
The human race was dying out,
No-one left to scream and shout.
People walking on the moon,
Smog will get you pretty soon.
Ev'ryone was hangin' out,
Hangin' up and hangin' down.
Hangin' in and holdin' fast,
Hope our little world will last.
Yeah, Along came Mister Goodtrips
Looking for a new ship.
Come on, people, better climb on board;
Come on, baby, now we're going home.
Ship of fools, ship of fools,
Smog will get you pretty soon.
MOONLIGHT DRIVE.
Let's swim to the moon uh huh let's climb thru the tide,
Penetrate the evenin' that the city sleeps to hide
Let's swim out tonight, love it's our turn to try
Parked eside the ocean on our moonlight drive
Let's swim to the moon uh huh let's climb thru the tide,
Surrender to the waiting worlds that lap against our side
Nothing left open and no time to deside
We've stepped into a river on our moonlight drive
Let's swim to the moon let's climb thru the tide
You reach a hand to hold me but I can't be your guide
Easy to love you as I watch you glide
Falling through wet forests on our moonlight drive.
SOUL KITCHEN.
Well, the clock says it's time to close
I guess I'd better go
I'd really like to stay here all night.
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes,
Street lights shed their hollow glow;
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go, still one place to go.
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen,
Warm my mind near your gentle stove.
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby,
Stumbling in the neon groves.
Your fingers weave quick minarets,
Speaking in secret alphabets.
I light another cigarette,
Learn to forget, learn to forget.
LAND HO!
Grand - Ma loved a sailor
Who sailed the frozen sea.
Grand - pa was a whaler
And he took me on his knee.
He said, "Son, I'm goin' crazy
From livin' on the land.
Got to find my shipmates
And walk on foreigh sands."
This old man was graceful,
With silver in his smile.
He smoked a briar pipe and
He walked four country miles.
Singing song of shady sisters
And old time liberty,
Songs of love and songs of death,
And songs to set men free.
I've got three ships and sixty men,
A course for ports unread.
Stand at mast, let north winds blow
Till half of us are dead.
Land Ho!
Well, it 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 aline.
If I get my hands on a number two
Come back home and marry you,
Marry you, marry you.All right!
Land Ho!
TOUCH ME.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon 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 she made
Now I'm gonna love you till the heaven stops the rain
I'm gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky
for you and I.
I CAN'T SEE YOUR FACE.
I can't see your face in my mind
I can't see your face in my mind
Carnival dogs consume the lines
Can't see your face in my mind.
Don't you cry, baby, please don't cry,
And don't look at me with your eyes,
I can't seem to find the right lie,
I can't seem to find the right lie.
Insanity's horse adorns the sky,
Can't seem to find the right lie,
I won't need your picture
until we say good-bye.
THE WASP.
I want to tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat.
I comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow,
with a back beat, narrow and hard to master.
Some call heavenly in its brilliance other,
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 died.
The Negroes in the forest, brightly feathered, and
they are saying:
"Forget the night!
live with us in forest of azure,
out here on the perimeter, there are no stare.
Out here we is stoned - immaculate."
listen to this I'll tell you about the heartaches;
I'll tell you about the heartache and the loss of God.
I'll tell you about the hopeless night,
the meager food my soul forgot,
Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul.
I want to tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat,
Soft - driven, slow and mad like some new language.
Listen to this I'll tell you about Texas;
I'll tell you about Texas Radio.
I'll tell you about the hopeless night,
the wanderin' the Western dream,
Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul.
MAGGIE M'GILL.
Miss maggie M'Gill she lived on a hill;
Her daddy got drunk and left her no will,
So she went down,
Down to "Tangie Town".
People down there really like to get it on.
Now, if you're sad and you're feelin' blue,
Go out and buy a brand new pair of of shoes,
And you go down,
Down to "Tangie Town".
The people down there really like to get it on, get it on.
Illegitimate son of a rock and roll star.

QUEEN OF THE HIGHWAY
She was a princess, Queen of the Highway.
Sign on the road said:"Take us to Madre".
No one could save her, save the blind tiger.
He was a monster,black dressed in leather.
She was a princess, Queen of the Highway.
Now they are wedded, she is a good girl;
Naked as children out in the Meadow,
Naked as children, wild as can be,
Soon to have offspring, start it all over.
Start it all over.
American boy, American girl,
Most beautiful people in the world!
Son of a frontier Indian Swirl,
Dancing thru the midnight whirl-pool
Formless hope it can continue a little longer.
EASY RIDE.
And I know, it will be an Easy Ride oh yeah,
And I know it will be Easy Ride O.K.
The mask that you wore my fingers would explore
Costume of control excitement soon unfolds
And I know it will be an Easy Ride, yeah,
Joy fought vaguely with your pride

Coda queen now be my bride
Rage in darkness by my side
Seize the summer in your pride
Take the winter in your stride, let's ride.
UNHAPPY GIRL.
Girl, unhappy girl,
Left all alone, Playin' solitaire,
Playin' warden to your soul;
You are locked in a prison of your own device.
And you can't believe what it does to me
To see you cryin'.
Girl, unhappy girl,
Tear your web away; Saw thru all your bars
Melt yourself today;
You are charged in a prison of your own device.
Girl, unhappy girl,
Fly fast away; Don't miss your chance
To swim in mystery.
You are tied in a prison of your own device.
BLUE SUNDAY.
I found my own true love was on a Blue Sunday.
She looked at me and told me I was the only one in
the world;
Now I have found my girl.
My girl awaits for me in tender time.
My girl is mine, She is the world,
She is my girl.
You know the day destroys the night,
Night divides the day;
Tried to run.Tried to hide.
Break on thru to the other side, break on thru.
We chased our pleasures here,
Dug our treasures there.
Can you still recall the time we cried?
Break on thru to the other side, break on thru.
I found an island in your arms,
A country in your eyes,
Arms that chain, eyes that lie
Break on thru ...etc.
Made the scene from week to week,
Day to day, hour to hour,
The gate is straight, deep and wide
Break on thru ...etc.
Break. Break. Break. Break.
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX.
Well, she's fashionably lean,
And she's fashionably late,
She'll never rank a scene,
She'll never break a date;
But she's no drag, just watch the way she walks,
She's a Twentieth Century Fox,
She's a Twentieth Century Fox;
No tears, no fears, no ruined years, no clocks
She's a Twentieth Century Fox.
She's the queen of cool,
And she's the lady who waits,
Since her mind left school,
It never hesitates;
She won't waste time on elementary talk,
She's a Twentieth Century Fox,
She's a Twentieth Century Fox;
Got the world locked up inside a plastic box;
She's a Twentieth Century Fox.
Twentieth Century Fox, yeh.
Twentieth Century Fox.

THE END
This is the end,beautiful friend
This is the end,my only friend,the end
Of our elaborate plans,the end
Of everything that stands,the end
No safety or surprise,the end
I'll never look into your eyes
Again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway,baby
Weird seems inside the goldmine
Ride the highway west,baby
Ride the snake
Ride the snake,to the lake,the ancient lake,baby
The snake is long seven miles
Ride the snake
He is old and his skin is cold
The West is the best
The West is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver,where you taking us
The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went to the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door,and he looked inside
"Father?"-"Yes,son?"-"I want to kill you,
Mother,I want to..."
Come on,baby,take a chance with us
Come on,baby,take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
/Blue bus still now...
Come on,girl/
This is the end,beautiful friend
This is the end,my only friend,the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of night we tried to die
This is the end
Strange days have found us,
Strange days have tracked us down,
They're goin' to destroy our casual joys,
We shall go on playing or find a new town.
Strange eyes fill strange rooms,
Voices will signal their tired end,
The hostess is grinning, her guests sleep from sinning,
Hear me talk of sin and you know this is it.
Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone, bodies confused,
Memories misused,
As we run from the day to a strange night of stone.
YOU'RE LOST,LITTLE GIRL.
You're lost, littie girl,
You're lost, little girl,
You're lost, tell me who are you.
Think that you know what to do,

I thinkthat you know what to do,yeah,
Sure that you know what to do.
You're lost, little girl,
You're lost, little girl,
You're lost,tell me who are you.
PEOPLE ARE STRANGE.
People are strange when you're a stranger,
Faces look ugly when you're alone.
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted,
Streets are uneven when you're down,
When you're strange.
Faces come out of rain when you're strange
No one remembers your name when you're strange
when you're strange
when you're strange.
LOVE ME TWO TIMES.

Love me twice today;
Love me two times, girl,

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection,
Send my credentials to the house of detention,
I got some friends inside.
The face in the mirror won't stop.
The girl in the window won't drop.
A feast of friends alive she cried,
Waiting for me outside.
Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear the scream of the butterfly.
Come back, baby, back into my arms.
We're getting tired of waiting around.
Waiting around
with our heads
to the ground.
I hear a very gentle sound.
What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered
and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives
in the side of the dawn
and tied her with fences
and dragged her down.
I hear a very gentle sound.
With your ear down to the ground -
We want the world and we want it
Now!
Persian night!
See the light!
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!
When the music's over,
When the music's over here
When the music over turn out the lights,

But I never been so broke that I couldn't leave town.
I'm a changeling see me change.

Don't you need her badly?
Don't you love her ways?

Don't you love her as she's walking out the door?
Like she did one thousand times before.
Don't you love her ways?
Tell me what you say
Don't you love her as she's walking out the door?
All your love - 4 t.
All your love is gone,
So sing a lonely song of a deep blue dream.
Seven horses seem to be on the mark.
L.A. WOMAN
Well, I just got into town about a 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 the light?
Or just another lost angel?
City of night - 4 t.
L.A. woman - 3 t.
Sunday afternoon,
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon - 2 t.
Drive thru' your suburbs into your blues,
Into your blues, into your blue, blue, blue,
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 the freeway
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars,
Never saw a woman so alone,
So alone - 3 t.
Motel money murder madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness.
Mister Mojo risin' - 4 t.
Got to keep on risin'
Mister Mojo risin'
Mojo risin'
Risin', risin'.
City of night, city of night.
L.A. woman, she's my woman.
CARS HISS BY MY WINDOW
The cars hiss by my window
like the waves down on the beach.
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.
Headlights thru' my window shinin' on the wall
Headlights thru' my window climbing on the wall,
Can't hear my baby tho' I call and call.
Window starts to tremble with a sonic boom.
Window starts to tremble with a sonic boom
Cold girl will kill you in a darkened room.
L'AMERICA
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.
C'mon, people,don't you look so down;
You know the rainman's comin' to town.
He'll change your weather, he'll change your luck,
He'll even teach you how to find yourself,

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.
L'America............

Well, I been down so Goddamn long

To please the lions this day?
I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me.
I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me.
I need someone who, 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,

RIDERS ON THE STORM
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 squirming 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.
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.
You gotta love your man.
THE WASP
I want to tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat.
I comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow,
with a back beat, narrow and hard to master.
Some call heavenly in its brilliance other,
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 died.
The Negroes in the forest, brightly feathered, and
they are saying:
"Forget the night!
live with us in forest of azure,
out here on the perimeter, there are no stare.
Out here we is stoned - immaculate."
Listen to this I'll tell you about the heartaches;
I'll tell you about the heartache and the loss of God.
I'll tell you about the hopeless night,
the meager food my soul forgot,
Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul.
I want to tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat,
Soft-driven, slow and mad like some new language.
Listen to this I'll tell you about Texas;
I'll tell you about Texas Radio.
I'll tell you about hopeless night, the wanderin' the Western dream
Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul.

Still one place to go, still one place to go.
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen,
Warm my mind near your gentle stove.

Learn to forget, learn to forget.
THE CRYSTAL SHIP.
Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss,
Another flashing chance at bliss,
Another kiss, another kiss.
The days are bright and filled with pain.
Enclose me in your gentle rain,
The time you ran was too insane,
We'll meet again, we'll meet again.
Oh' tell me where your freedom lies,
The streets are fields that never die,
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly.
The crystal ship is being filled,
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills,
A million ways to spend your time;
When we get back, I'll drop a line.

10.When The Music's Over.
STRANGE DAYS.
Strange days have found us,
Strange days have tracked us down,
They're goin' to destroy our casual joys,
We shall go on playing or find a new town.
Strange eyes fill strange rooms,
Voices will signal their tired end,
The hostess is grinning, her guests sleep from sinning,
Hear me talk of sin and you know this is it.
Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone, bodies confused,
Memories misused,
As we run from the day to a strange night of stone.
YOU'RE LOST,LITTLE GIRL.
You're lost, littie girl,
You're lost, little girl,
You're lost, tell me who are you.
Think that you know what to do,
Impossible yes,but it's true.
I thinkthat you know what to do,yeah,
Sure that you know what to do.
You're lost, little girl,
You're lost, little girl,
You're lost,tell me who are you.
LOVE ME TWO TIMES.
Love me two times, baby,
Love me twice today;
Love me two times, girl,
I'm goin' away
Love me two times, girl,
One for tomorrow, one just for today;
Love me two times, I'm goin' away.
Love me one time, could not speak;
Love me one time, yeh, my knee got weak.
Love me two times, girl,
Last me all thru the week;
Love me two times, I'm goin' away;
Love me two times, I'm goin' away.
UNHAPPY GIRL.
Girl, unhappy girl,
Left all alone, Playin' solitaire,
Playin' warden to your soul;
You are locked in a prison of your own device.
And you can't believe what it does to me
To see you cryin'.
Girl, unhappy girl,
Tear your web away; Saw thru all your bars
Melt yourself today;
You are charged in a prison of your own device.
Girl, unhappy girl,
Fly fast away; Don't miss your chance
To swim in mystery.
You are tied in a prison of your own device.
HORSE LATITUDES.
When the still sea conspires an armor
And her sullen and aborted
Currents breed tiny monsters,
True sailing is dead.
Awkward instant
And the first animal is jettisoned,
Legs furiously pumping
Their stiff green gallop,
And head bob up
Poise
Delicate
Pause
Consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined
And sealed over.
MOONLIGHT DRIVE.
Let's swim to the moon uh huh let's climb thru the tide,
Penetrate the evenin' that the city sleeps to hide
Let's swim out tonight, love it's our turn to try
Parked eside the ocean on our moonlight drive
Let's swim to the moon uh huh let's climb thru the tide,
Surrender to the waiting worlds that lap against our side
Nothing left open and no time to deside
We've stepped into a river on our moonlight drive
Let's swim to the moon let's climb thru the tide
You reach a hand to hold me but I can't be your guide
Easy to love you as I watch you glide
Falling through wet forests on our moonlight drive.
PEOPLE ARE STRANGE.
People are strange when you're a stranger,
Faces look ugly when you're alone.
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted,
Streets are uneven when you're down,
When you're strange.
Faces come out of rain when you're strange
No one remembers your name when you're strange
when you're strange
when you're strange.
MY EYES HAVE SEEN YOU.
REF:

Free from disguise,
Gazing on a city under television skies,
Television skies, television skies.

Let them photograph your your soul,
Memorize your alleys on an endless roll,
endless roll, endless roll.
I CAN'T SEE YOUR FACE.
I can't see your face in my mind
I can't see your face in my mind
Carnival dogs consume the lines
Can't see your face in my mind.
Don't you cry, baby, please don't cry,
And don't look at me with your eyes,
I can't seem to find the right lie,
I can't seem to find the right lie.
Insanity's horse adorns the sky,
Can't seem to find the right lie,
I won't need your picture
until we say good-bye.

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection,
Send my credentials to the house of detention,
I got some friends inside.
The face in the mirror won't stop.
The girl in the window won't drop.
A feast of friends alive she cried,
Waiting for me outside.
Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear the scream of the butterfly.
Come back, baby, back into my arms.
We're getting tired of waiting around.
Waiting around
with our heads
to the ground.
I hear a very gentle sound.
What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered
and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives
in the side of the dawn
and tied her with fences
and dragged her down.
I hear a very gentle sound.
With your ear down to the ground -
We want the world and we want it
Now!
Persian night!
See the light!
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!
When the music's over,
When the music's over here
When the music over turn out the lights,

She's walkin' down the street
Blind to ev'ry eye she meets,
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
[Ref.]
She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked and her legs are lang.
When she moves,my brain screams out this song.
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet.
Do you hope to make her see,you fool?
Doyou hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello.Hello.Hello.Hello.
LOVE STREET.
She lives on Love Street,
Lingers long on Love Street,
She has a house and garden,
I would like to see what happens.
She has robes and she has monkeys,
Lazy diamond-studed flunkies,
She has wisdom and knows what to do,
She has me and she has you.
I see you Live on Love Street;
There's the store where the creatures meet.
I wonder what they do in there,
Summer Sunday and a year.
I guess I like it fine so far.
She lives on Love Street,lingers long on Love Street.
She has a houae and garden I would like to see what happens...
NOT TO TOUCH THE EARTH.
Not to touch the earth,not to see the sun,
Nothing left to do but run run run,let's run.
Let's run
House upon the hill,moon is lying still,
Shadows of the trees,withessing the wild breeze.
Come on,Baby,run with me,let's run.
Run with me,run with me,run with me,let's run.
The mansion is warm at the top of the hill,
c ch are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs,
And you don't know a thing till you get inside
Dead President's corpse in the driver's car,
The engine runs on glue and tar,
Come on along,Not goin' very far,
To the East to meet the Czar.
Run with me,run with me,run with me.Let's run.
Some outlaws live by the side of a like,
The minister' daughter's in love with the snake,
Who lives in a well by the side of the road.
Wake up,girl,we're almost home!
SUMMER'S ALMOST GONE.
Summer's almost gone,
Summer's almost gone,
Almost gone,yeh,it's almost gone.
Where will we be when the summer's gone?
Morning found us calmly unaware,
Noon burned gold into our hair,
At night we swam the laughing sea.
When summer's gone,where will we be?
Summer's almost gone,Summer's almost gone
We had some good times but they're gone
The winter's coming on,summer's almost gone.
WINTERTIME LOVE.
Wintertime winds blow cold this season,
Falling in love I'm hopin' to be.
Wind is so cold, is that the reason
Keeping you warm, your hands touching me.
REF:
[Come with me, dance, my dear,
Winter's so cold this year.
You are so warm, my Wintertime Love to be.]
Wintertime winds blue and freezin'
Comin' from northern storms in the sea.
Love has been lost, is that the reason
Trying so desperately to be free.

THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER.
Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older.
The unknown sddier
Practice where the news is read
Television children dead
Unborn, living, dead,
Bullet strikes the helmet's head.
And it's all over for the unknown soldier,
It's all over for the unknown soldier.
Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder.
The unknown soldier
Practise where the news is read
Television children dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
It's all over, the war is over...
SPANISH CARAVAN.
Carry me, caravan, take me away,
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain,
Andalusia, with fields full of grain,
I have to see you again and again.
Take me, Spanish Caravan,
Yes, I know you can.
MY WILD LOVE.
My wild love went riding,
She rode all the day;
She rode to the devil,
And asked him to pay.
The devil was wiser.
It's time to repent;
He asked her to give back,
The money he spent.
My wild love went riding,
She rode to sea;
She gathered together
Some shells for her hair.
She rode on to Christmas,
She rode to the farm;
She rode to japan
And re-entered a town.
My wild love is crazy
She screams like a bird;
She moans like a cat
When she wants to be heard.
She rode and she rode on
She rode for a while,
Then stopped for an evening
And laid her head down.
By this time the weather
Had changed one degree,
She asked for the people
To let her go free.
My wild love went riding,
She rode for an hour;
She stopped and she rested,
And then she rode on.
WE COULD BE SO GOOD TOGETHER.
We could be so good together,

Out on the trainyard nursing penitentiary.
It's gone. I cry out long.
Did you stop to consider how it will feel,
Cold grindin' grizzly bear jaws hot on your heels.
Do you often stop and whisper in
Saturday's shore that
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?
How you must think and wonder
How I must feel out on the meadows
While you're on the field.
I'm alone for you, and I cry.

Rage in darkness by my side
Seize the summer in your pride
Take the winter in your stride, let's ride.

RUNNIN' BLUES.
Poor Otis dead and gone, left me here to sing his song,
Pretty litlle girl with the red dress on,
Poor Otis dead and gone.
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 on the bay
Maybe find it back in L.A.
Runnin' scared, Runnin' Blues,
Goin' so fast, what'll I do?

a person there who put forth the proposition
that you can petition the Lord with prayer...
Petition the Lord with prayer...petition the Lord

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 the other is travel,
One is a band it up in the hills,
One is to love your neighbor till his wife gets home.
Catacombs, nursery bones,
Winter women growing stones,
Carrying babes to the river;
Streets and shoes, avenues,
Leather riders selling news.
The monk bought lunch.
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.
The soft parade has now begun;
Listen to the engines hum.
People out to have some fun,
Cobra on my left, leopard on my right.
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,
Callin' 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.

WAITING FOR THE SUN.
At first flash of Eden we raced down to the sea,
Standing there on freedom's shore.

That it's time to live in the scattered sun.
Waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun,

PEACE FROG.
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 of the town of Chicago,
Blood on the rise, it's following me,
Just about the break of day.
She came, then she drove away, sunlight in her hair.
Blood on the streets runs a river of sadness.
Blood in the streets, it's up to my thigh.
The river runs down the legs of the city;
The women are crying red rivers of weeping.
She came in town and then she went away,
sunlight in her hair.
Indians scattered on dawn's highway
Bleeding ghosts crowd the young child's fragile
Egg-shell mind.
Blood in the streets of 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 the chop off her fingers.
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation;
Blood is the rose of mysterious union.
BLUE SUNDAY.
I found my own true love was on a Blue Sunday.
She looked at me and told me I was the only one in
the world;
Now I have found my girl.
My girl awaits for me in tender time.
My girl is mine, She is the world,
She is my girl.
SHIP OF FOOLS.
The human race was dying out,
No-one left to scream and shout.
People walking on the moon,
Smog will get you pretty soon.
Ev'ryone was hangin' out,
Hangin' up and hangin' down.
Hangin' in and holdin' fast,
Hope our little world will last.
Yeah, Along came Mister Goodtrips
Looking for a new ship.
Come on, people, better climb on board;
Come on, baby, now we're going home.
Ship of fools, ship of fools,
Smog will get you pretty soon.
LAND HO!
Grand - Ma loved a sailor
Who sailed the frozen sea.
Grand - pa was a whaler
And he took me on his knee.
He said, "Son, I'm goin' crazy
From livin' on the land.
Got to find my shipmates
And walk on foreigh sands."
This old man was graceful,
With silver in his smile.
He smoked a briar pipe and
He walked four country miles.
Singing song of shady sisters
And old time liberty,
Songs of love and songs of death,
And songs to set men free.
I've got three ships and sixty men,
A course for ports unread.
Stand at mast, let north winds blow
Till half of us are dead.
Land Ho!
Well, it 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 aline.
If I get my hands on a number two
Come back home and marry you,
Marry you, marry you.All right!
Land Ho!

QUEEN OF THE HIGHWAY
She was a princess, Queen of the Highway.
Sign on the road said:"Take us to Madre".
No one could save her, save the blind tiger.
He was a monster,black dressed in leather.
She was a princess, Queen of the Highway.
Now they are wedded, she is a good girl;
Naked as children out in the Meadow,
Naked as children, wild as can be,
Soon to have offspring, start it all over.
Start it all over.
American boy, American girl,
Most beautiful people in the world!
Son of a frontier Indian Swirl,
Dancing thru the midnight whirl-pool
Formless hope it can continue a little longer.

CHANGELING.
I live up town, I live down-town,
I live all around.
I had money, I had none;
I had money, I had;
But I never been so broke that I couldn't leave town.
I'm a changeling see me change.
I'm a changeling.
I'm in the air you breathe, food you eat,
Friend you greet in the swarming street.
See me change, see me change.
I'm leaving town on the midnight train
Gonna see me change, change, change...
LOVE HER MADLY.
Don't you love her madly?
Don't you need her badly?
Don't you love her ways?
Tell me what you say?
Don't you love her madly?
Want to be her daddy?
Don't you love her face?
Don't you love her as she's walking out the door?
Like she did one thousand times before.
Don't you love her ways?
Tell me what you say
Don't you love her as she's walking out the door?
All your love, all your love,
All your love, all your love,
All your love is gone,
So sing a lonely song of a deep blue dream.
Seven horses seem to be on the mark.
BEEN DOWN SO LONG.
Well, I been down so Goddamn long
That it looks like up to me.
Well, I been down so very damn long
That it looks like up to me.
Now, why don't ohe of you people

I said, warden, warden, warden,
Won't you break your lock and key.

Baby, baby, baby, won't you get down on your knee;
Baby, baby, baby, won't you get down on your knee.
C'mon, little darling,
C'mon and give you love to me.
CARS HISS BY MY WINDOW.
The cars hiss by my window
like the waves down on the beach.
The carrs hiss by my mindow
like the waves down on the beach.
I got this girl beside me, but she's out of reach.
Headlights thru my window shining on the wall
Headlights thru my window clining on the wall,
Can't hear my baby tho' I call and call.
Window starts to tremble with a sonic boom.
Window starts to tremble with a sonic boom.
Cold girl will kill you in a darkened room.
L.A.WOMAN.
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 angels.
City of night, City of night,
City of night, City of night.
L.A.woman,L.A.woman, L.A.woman,
Sundau afternoon,
L.A.woman, Sunday afternoon
L.A.woman,Sunday afternoon
Drive thru your suburbs into your blues,
Into your blues,into your blue, blue, blue,
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 the freeway
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.
Mister Mojo risin' mister Mojo risin'
Mister Mojo risin' mister Mojo risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mister mojo risin'
Mojo risin'
Risin', risin'
City of night, city of night.
L.A.woman, L.A.woman, L.A.woman,she's my woman
L'AMERICA.

To trade some beads for a pint of gold.

C'mon, people, don't you look so down;
You know the rainman's comin' to town.
He'll change your weather,he'll change your luck,
He'll even teach you how to find yourself,

Friendly strangers came to town,
All the people put them down.
Butthe women loved their ways
Come again ssome other day.
Like the gentle rain,
Like the gentle rain that falls.
L'America, l'America, l'America, l'America...
HYACINTH HOUSE.
What are they doing in the Hyacinth House
What are they doing in the Hyacinth House
To please the lions 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 who, 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,
The end.
THE WASP.
I want to tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat.
I comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow,
with a back beat, narrow and hard to master.
Some call heavenly in its brilliance other,
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 died.
The Negroes in the forest, brightly feathered, and
they are saying:
"Forget the night!
live with us in forest of azure,
out here on the perimeter, there are no stare.
Out here we is stoned - immaculate."
listen to this I'll tell you about the heartaches;
I'll tell you about the heartache and the loss of God.
I'll tell you about the hopeless night,
the meager food my soul forgot,
Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul.
I want to tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat,
Soft - driven, slow and mad like some new language.
Listen to this I'll tell you about Texas;
I'll tell you about Texas Radio.
I'll tell you about the hopeless night,
the wanderin' the Western dream,
Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul.
RIDERS ON THE STORM.
Riders on the storm,
Riders on the stormm,
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 squirming 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.
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.
You gotta love your man.

PEOPLE ARE STRANGE
People are strange when you're a stranger,
Faces look ugly when you're alone.
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted,
Streets are uneven when you're down,
When you're strange.
Faces come out of rain when you're strange
No one remembers your name when you're strange.

Love me two times, baby,

HORSE LATITUDES
When the still sea comspires an armor
And her sullen and aborted
Currents breed tiny monsters,
True sailing is dead.
Awkward instant
And the first animal is jettisoned,
Legs furiously pumping
Their stiff green gallop,
And head bob up
Poise
Delicate
Pause
Consent
In mute nostrel agony
Carefully refined
And sealed over.
STRANGE DAYS
Strange days have found us,
Strange days have tracked us down,
They're going to destroy our casual joys,
We shall go on playing or find a new town.
Strange eyes fill strange rooms,
Voices will signal their tired end,
The hostess is grinning, her guests sleep from sinning,
Hear me talk of sin and you know this is it.
Strange days have found us
And thru their strange hours
We linger alone, bodies confused,
Memeries misused,
As we run from the day to a strange night of stone.
MOONLIGHT DRIVE
Let's swim to the moon uh huh let's climb thru the tide,
Penetrate the evening that the city, sleep to hide
Let's swim out tonight, love it's our turn to try
Parked aside the ocean on our moonlight drive.
Let's swim to the moon uh huh let's climb thru the tide,
Surrende to the waiting worlds that lap against our side
Nothing left open and no time to deside
We've stepped into a river on our moonlight drive.
Let's swim to the moon, let's climb thru the tide
You reach a hand to hold me but I can't be your guide
Easy to love you as I watch you glide
Falling thru wet forests on our moonlight drive.
I CAN'T SEE YOUR FACE
I can't see your face in my mind,
I can't see your face in my mind
Carnival dogs consumed the lines
Can't see your face in my mind.
Don't you cry, baby, please don't cry,
And don't look at me with your eyes,
I can't seem to find the right lie,
I can't seem to find the right lie.
Insanity's horse adorns the sky,
Can't seem to find the right lie,
I won't need your picture until we say good-bye.
UNHAPPY GIRL
Girl, unhappy girl,
Left all alone, Playin' solitaire,
Playin' warden to your soul,
You are locked in a prison of your own device.
And you can't believe what it does to me
To see you cryin'.
Girl, unhappy girl,
Tear your web away, Saw thru all your bars
Melt yourself today
You are changed in a prison of your own device.
Girl, unhappy girl,
Fly fast away, Don't miss your chance
To swim in mistery
You are tied in a prison of your own device.
WHEN THE MUSIC'S OVER

For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend until the end.
Cancel my subscription to the resurrection,
Send my credentials to the house of detention,
I got some friends inside.
The face is the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A fiest of friends alive she cried,
Waiting for me outside.
Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear the scream of the butterfly.
Come back, baby, back into my arms.
We're getting tired of waiting around.
Waiting around
with our heads
to the ground.
I hear a very gentle sound.
What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered
and ripped her and and bit her
stuck her with knives
in the side of the dawn
and tied her with fences
and dragged her down.
I hear a very gentle sound,
With your ear down to the ground.
We want the world and we want it
Now!
Persian night!
See the light!
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!
When the music's over,
When the music's over here
When the music's over turn out the lights.
For the music is your special friend.
Dance on fire as it intends.
Music is your special friend until the end,

THE SOFT PARADE
"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... 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 sex and a girl named Sandy;
There's only four ways to get unraveled;
One is to sleep and the other is travel,
One is a band it up in the hills,
One is to love your neighbor till his wife gets home.
Catacombs, nursery bones,
Winter women growing stones,
Carrying babes to the river;
Streets and shoes, avenues,
Leather riders selling news.
The monk bought lunch.
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.
The soft parade has now begun;
Listen to the engines hum.
People out to have some fun,
Cobra on my left, leopard on my right.
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,
Callin' 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.
Who got us this far, to this mild Equator?
We need someone or something new,
Something else to get us through.

SHAMAN'S BLUES
There will never be another one like you.
There will never be another who can do the things you do. Oh!
Will you give another chance?
Will you try a little try?
Please stop and you'll remember we were together any way.
All right
Now, if you have a certain evening you could lend to me,
I'll give it all right back to you.
Know how it has to be with you.
I know your moods and your mind, and you mind,
And you're mine.
Will you stop to think and wonder
just what you'll see
Out on the trainyard nursing penitentiary.
It's gone. I cry out long.
Did you stop to consider how it will feel,
Cold grindin' grizzly bear jaws hot on your heels.
Do you often stop and whisper in
Saturday's shore that
The whole world's a savior.
Who could ever ever ever ask for more?
Do you remember?
Will you stop, will you stop the pain?
How you must think and wonder
How I must feel out on the meadows
While you're on the field.
I'm alone for you, and I cry.

be dead and in hell before I'm borne I'm borne...sure

RUNNIN' BLUES
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.
Back down, turn around slowly, try it again,
Remembering when, it as 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 on the bay
Maybe find it back in L.A.
Runnin' scared, Runnin' blues,
Goin' so fast, what'll I do?
All right, look at my shoes, not quite the walkin' blues,
Don't fight, too much to lose;
Can't find the Runnin' blues.
WISHFUL SINFUL
Wishful crystal water covers ev'rything in blue cooling 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 blue.
Magic rising sun is shining, deep beneath the sea.
But, not enough for you and me and sunshine.
Love to hear the wind cry.
You and me and sunshine, love to hear the wind cry.
TOUCH ME
C'mon, c'mon now. Touch me, babe,
Can't you see that I'm not afraid
What was the promise that you made,
Why won't you tell me what she said
What was the promise that she made
Now I'm gonna love you till the heaven stops the rain
I'm gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky
for you and I.
EASY RIDE
And I know, it will be an easy ride oh yeah,
And I know it will be easy ride O.K.
The mask that you wore my fingers would explore
Costume of control excitement soon unfolds
And I know it will be an easy ride, yeah,
Joy fought vaguely with your pride

Rage in darkness by my side
Seize the summer in your pride
Take the winter in your stride, let's ride.

WAITING FOR THE SUN
At first flash of Eden we raced down to the sea,
Standing there on freedom's shore.
Waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun,
Waiting for the sun.
Can't you feel it, now that spring has come;
That it's time to live in the scattered sun.
Waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun,
Waiting for the sun.
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting,
Waiting for you to come along;
Waiting for you to hear my song;
Waiting for you to come along;
Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong.
This is the strangest life I've ever known.

Ev'rywhere you go;
Ev'ryone you know.
I'm a spy, I know your deepest secret fear.
I know your deepest secret, I'm a spy.

PEACE FROG
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 of the town of Chicago,
Blood on the rise, it's following me,
Just about the break of the day.
She came, then she drove away, sunlight in her hair.
Blood on the streets runs a river of sadness.
Blood in the streets, it's up to my thigh.
The river runs down the legs of the city;
The women are crying red rivers of weeping.
She came in town and then she went away, sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawn's highway
Bleeding ghosts crowd the young child's fragile
Egg-shell mind.
Blood in the streets of the town of New Heaven;
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 the chop of her fingers.
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation;
Blood is the rose of mysterious union.
SHIP OF FOOLS
The human race was dying out,
No-one left to scream and shout.
People walking on the moon,
Smog will get you pretty soon.
Ev'ryone was hangin' out,
Hangin' up and hangin' down.
Hangin' in and holdin' fast,
Hope our little world will last.
Yeah, along came Mister Goodtrips
Looking for a new ship.
Come on, people, better climb on board;
Come on, baby, now we're going home.
Ship of fools, ship of fools,
Smog will get you pretty soon.
LAND HO!
Grand-Ma loved a sailor
Who sailed a frozen sea.
Grand-Pa was a whaler
And he took me on his knee.
He said, "Son, I'm goin' crazy
From livin' 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 song of shady sisters
And old time liberty,
Songs of love and songs of death,
And songs to set men free.
I've got three ships and sixty men,
A course for ports unread.
Stand at mast, let north winds blow
Till 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 aline.
If I get my hands on a number two
Come back home and marry you.
MAGGIE M'GILL
Miss Maggie M'Gill she lived on a hill;
Her daddy got drunk and left her no will,
So she went down,
Down to "Tangie Town".
People down there really like to get it on.
Now, if you're sad and you're feelin' blue,
Go out and buy a brand new pair of shoes,
And you go down,
Down to "Tangie Town".
The people down there really like to get it on, get it on.

QUEEN OF THE HIGHWAY
She was a princess, Queen of the Highway.
Sign on the road said: "Take us to Madre."
No one could save her, save the blind tiger.
He was a monster, black dressed in leather.
She was a princess, Queen of the Highway.
Now they are wedded, she is a good girl;
Naked as children out in the meadow,
Naked as children, wild as can be,
Soon to have off spring, start it all over.
Start it all over.
American boy, American girl,
Most beautiful people in the world!
Son of a frontier Indian Swirl,
Dancing thru' the midnight whirl-pool
Formless hope it can continue a little longer.
BLUE SUNDAY
I found my own true love was on a blue Sunday.
She looked at me and told me I was the only one in the world;
Now I have found my girl.
My girl awaits for me in tender time.
My girl is mine, she is the world,
She is my girl.

Hello I love you, let me jump in your game? - 2 t.
She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets.
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
R.
She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky.
Her arms are wicked and her legs are long.
When she moves, my brain screams out this song.
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet.
Do you hope to make her see you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
LOVE STREET
She lives on Love Street,
Lingers long on Love Street.
She has a house and garden,
I would like to see what happens.
She has robes and she has monkeys,
Lazy diamond-studed flunkies,
She has wisdom and knows what to do.
She has me and she has you.
I see you live on Love Street;
There's the store where creatures meet.
I wonder what they do in there;
Summer Sunday and a year.
I guess I like it fine so far.
NOT TO TOUCH THE EARTH
Not to touch the Earth, not to see the sun.
Nothing left to do but run run run, let's run.
Let's run.
House upon the hill, moon is lying still,
Shadows of the trees, witnessing the wild breeze.
Come on baby, run with me, let's run.
Run with me, run with me, run with me, let's run.
The mansion is warm on the top of the hill,
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there.
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs,
And you don't know a thing till you get inside.
Dead President's corpse in the driver's car,
The engine runs on glue and tar,
Come on along, met going very far,
To the East to meet the Czar.
Run with me, run with me, run with me, let's run.
Some outlaws live by the side of the lake,
The minister daughter's in love with a snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road.
Wake up girl, we're almost home.
SUMMER'S ALMOST GONE
Summer's almost gone,
Summer's almost gone,
Almost gone, yeh, it's almost gone.
Where will we be when the summer's gone?
Morning found us calmly unaware,
Noon burned gold into our hair,
At night we swam the laughing sea.
When the summer's gone, where will we be?
Summer's almost gone, summer's almost gone
We had some good times but they're gone
The winter's coming on, summer's almost gone.
THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older.
The unknown soldier.
Practice where the news is read
Television children dead
Unborn, living,dead,
Bullet strikes the helmet's head.
And it's all over for the unknown soldier,
It's all over for the unknown soldier.
Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder
The unknown soldier.
Practice where the news is read
Television children dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head.
It's all over, the war is over...
WE COULD BE SO GOOD TOGETHER
We could be so good together,
Yeh, so good together.
We could be so good together,
Yeh, we could, I know we could.
Tell you lies, I'll tell you wicked lies
Tell you lies, tell you wicked lies.
I tell you 'bout the world that we'll invent,
Wanton world without lament,
Enterprise, expedition,
Invitation and invention.
The time you wait substracts from joy
Beheads the angels you destroy;
Angels fight, angels cry,
Angels dance and angels die.
SPANISH CARAVAN
Carry me, caravan, take me away.
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalusia with fields full of grain.
I have to see you again and again.
Take me, Spanish caravan,
Yes, I know you can.
MY WILD LOVE
My wild love went riding.
She rode all the day.
She rode to the devil
And asked him to pay.
The devil was wiser.
It's time to repent;
He asked her to give back
The money she spent.
My wild love went riding,
She rode to the sea;
She gathered together
Some shells for her hair.
She rode on to Christmas,
She rode to the farm,
She rode to Japan
And re-entered a town
My wild love is crazy,
She screams like a bird
She moans like a cat
When she wants to be heard.
She rode and she rode on,
She rode for a while,
Then she stopped for an evening
And laid her head down.
By this time the weather
Had changed on one degree,
She asked to the people
To let her go free.
My wild love went riding,
She rode for an hour,
She stopped and she rested.
And then she rode on.
WINTERTIME LOVE
Wintertime winds blow cold this season.
Falling in love I'm hopin' to be.
Wind is so cold, is that the reason
Keeping your warm, your hands touching me.
R. Come on with me, dance, my dear.
Winter's so cold this year,
You are so warm my Wintertime Love to be.
Wintertime winds blue and freezin'
Comin' from nothern storms in the sea.
Love has been lost, is that the reason
Trying so desperately to be free.
YES THE RIVER KNOWS
Please, believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me.
Free fall flow river,
Flow on and on it goes
Breathe under water till the end
Yes the river knows.
Please, believe me,
If you don't need me
I'm going but I need a little time.
Promised I would drawn myself in mystic heated wine.
FIVE TO ONE
Five to one, baby, one in five,
No one here gets out alive,
Now you get yours, baby, I'll get mine,
Gonna make it, baby, if we try.
Old get old and the young get stronger,
May take a week and it make take longer.
They got the duns but we got the numbers.
Gonna win, yeh, we're takin' over, come on.
Your ballroom days are over, baby,
Night is drawing near,
Shadows of the evening grow across the year.
You walk across the floor with a flower in your hand,
Trying to tell me no one understands,
Trading your house for a handful of olives,
Gonna make it, baby, in your prime.
Get together one more time.
Get together one more time.
"D O O R S" /1967/
BREAK ON THROUGH
You know the day destroys the night,
Night devides the day;
Tried to run. Tried to hide.
Break on through to the other side, break on through.
We chased our pleasures here;
Dug our treasures there.
Can you still recall the time we cried?
Break on thru to the other side, break on thru
I found an island in your arms,
A country in your eyes,
Arms that chain, eyes that lie.
Break on thru to the other side, break on thru.
Made the scene from week to week,
Day to day, hour to hour,
The gate is straight, deep and wide.
Break on thru to the other side, break on thru.
SOUL KITCHEN
Well, the clock says it's time to close.
I guess I'd better go
I'd really like to stay here all night.
The cars crawl past all stuff with eyes,
Street lights shed their hollow glow;
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go, still one place to go.
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen,
Warm my mind near your gentle stove.
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby,
Stumbling in the neon groves.
Your fingers weave quick minarets,
Speaking in secret alphabets.
I light another cigarette,
Learn to forget, learn to forget.
THE CRYSTAL SHIP
Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss,
Another flashing chance at bliss,
Another kiss, another kiss.
The days are bright and filled with pain.
Enclose me in your gentle rain,
The time you ran was too insane,
We'll meet again, we'll meet again.
Oh tell me where your freedom lies,
The streets are fields that never die,
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly.
The crystal ship is being filled,
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills,
A million ways to spend your time,
When we get back, I'll drop a line.
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX
Well, she's fashionably lean,
And she's fashionably late,
She'll never rank a scene,
She'll never break a date;
But she's no drag, just watch the way she walks,,
She's a Twentieth Century Fox. - 2 t.
No tears, no fears, no ruined years, no clocks.
She's a Twentieth Century Fox.
She's the queen of cool,
And she's the lady who waits,
Since her mind left school,
It never hesitates;
She won't waste time on elementary talk,
She's a Twentieth Century Fox.
Got the world locked up inside a plastic box.
She's a Twentieth Century Fox.
LIGHT MY FIRE
You know that it would be untrue.
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you:
Girl we couldn't get much higher.
R. Come on, baby, light my fire - 2 t.
Try to set the night in fire.
The time to hesitate is through,
No time to wallow in mire,
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre.
I LOOKED AT YOU
I looked at you, you looked at me,
I smiled at you, you smiled at me.
And we're on our way.
I walk with you, you walk with me,
I talked to you, you talked to me.
And we're on our way.
No, we can't turn back, babe.
And we're on our way.
And we can't turn back 'cause it's too late.
And we're on our way.
END OF THE NIGHT
Take the highway to the end of the night.
End of the night, end of the night.
Take a journey to the bright midnight.
End of the night, end of the night.
Realms of bliss, Realms of light,
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to the endless night.
End of the night, end of the night...
TAKE IT AS IT COMES
Time to live, time to lie,
Time to laugh, time to die.
R. Take it easy, baby, take it as it comes.
Don't move too fast if you want your love to last.
You've been moving much too fast.
Time to walk, time to run,
Time to aim your arrows at the Sun.
Go real slow, you'll like it more and more,
Take it as it comes, specialize in having fun.
