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

In the swarming street.

Love
Her Madly
Robby Krieger
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.
Yeah, don't you love her?
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.
Don't you love her madly?
Don't you love her madly?
Don't you love her madly?
Been
Down So Long
Jim Morrison
Well, I been down so God-damn 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 one of you people
C'mon and set me free?
I said warden, warden, warden,
Won't you break your lock and key,
I said warden, warden, warden,
Won't you break your lock and key.

C'mon and let the poor boy be.

Cars
Hiss By My Window.
Jim Morrison
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,
Shining on the wall.
Headlights thru my window,
Shining on the wall.
Can't hear my baby,
Tho' I call and call.
Window started tremblin',
With those sonic boom.
Window started to tremble,
With those sonic boom, boom.
A cold girl'll kill you
In a darkened room.
L.A.
Woman
Jim Morrison
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago,
Took a look around, see which way he wind blow,
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows,
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of lighf?
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 thru your suburbs,
Into your blues,
Into your blues,
Into your blue, blue, 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.
Drivin' down your 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 Mojorisin'
Mister Mojo risin'
Mister Mojo risin'
Mister Mojo risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mister Mojo risin'
Mister Mojo risin'
Mojo risin'
Got the Mojo risin'
Mister Mojo risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Risin', risin',
Risin', risin',
Risin', risin',
Risin', risin',
Risin', risin',
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 la'dy in the city of lights
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,
You're my woman.
L.A. woman, L.A. woman,
She's my woman,
L.A. woman.
L'America.
Jim Morrison.
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

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

L'America, L'America,

Hyacinth
House.
Jim Morrison.
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 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.
The
Wasp
Jim Morrison.
I want to tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat.
It comes out of the Virginia swamps,
Cool and slow, with precision, with a 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 died.
The Negroes in the forest, brightly feathered,
And 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."
Listen to this I'll tell you about the heartache,
I'll tell you about the heartache and the loss of God.
I'll tell you about the hopeless night,
The meager food the souls forgot,
Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul.
I'll tell you this
No eternal reward can forgive us now,
For wasting the dawn.
I'll tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat,
Soft-driven, slow and mad like some new language.
Now 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
Jim Morrison
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.
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.
