THE SOFT PARADE
Tell
All The People.
Robbie Krieger
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 gonna pick up everyone,
Come on, take me by the hand,
Gonna 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 got to follow me down,
Follow me down.
Tell all the people that you see,
We'll be free,
Follow me down.
Touch
Me
Robbie Krieger.
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.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now,
Touch me, baby,
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.
I'm gonna love you till the heavens stop the rain,
I'm gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky,
For you and I.
I'm gonna love you till the heavens stop the rain,
I'm gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky,
For you and I.
Shaman's
Blues.
Jim Morrison.
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,
Anyway.
All right!
And, 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 you' moods,
And your mind,
And your mind,
And your mind,
And your mind,
And you're mine.
Will you stop and think and wonder
Just what you'll see,
Out on the train-yard
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,
The whole world's a saviour,
Who could ever ever ever ever ever ever
Ask for more?
Do you remember?
Will you stop,
Will you stop, the pain?
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,
Anyway.
All right!
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 born...
sure thing-bridesmaid... the only solution...
isn't it amazing?"

Easy
Ride
Jim Morrison
And I know
It will be
An easy ride
And I know
It will be
An easy ride.
The mask that you wore
IVIy fingers would explore
The costume of control
Excitement soon unfolds
And I know
It will be
An easy ride
Joy fought vaguely
With your pride
With your pride
Like polished stone
Like polished stone
I see your eyes
Like burning glass
Like burning alass
I hear you smile
Smile babe
The mask that you wore
My fingers would explore
The costume of control
Excitement soon unfolds
And I know it will be
An easy ride
Coda queen - be my bride
Rage in darkness by my side
Seize the summer in your pride
Take the winter in your stride
Let's ride
Wild
Child.
The Doors.
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.
You're our child,
Screamin' wild.
(An ancient lunatic reigns in the trees
of the night).
With hunger at her heels,
And 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.
(You remember when we were
in Africa?)
Runnin'
Blue
Robbie Kneger
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 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 LA.
Got to find the dock on the bay
Maybe find it in LA.
Runnin' scared, runnin' blue
Goin' so fast, what'll I do?
Well, I've got the runnin' blue;
Runnin' away, back to LA.
Got to find the dock on the bay
Maybe find it 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.
Robbie Krieger
Wishful sinful,
Water covers everything 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.
Can't escape the blue.
Wishful sinful, wicked blue
Water covers 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
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 blue
Can't escape the blue.
Love to hear the wind cry
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.
The Soft
Parade.
Jim Morrison.
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 any more
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
One is a bandit up in the hills
One is to love your neighbor till
His wife gets home
Catacombs, nursery bones
Winter women growing stones
(Carrying babies 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 street 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
A cobra on my left
Leopard on my right
Deer woman in a silk dress
Girls with beads about 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
Calling on the dogs
Calling on the dogs
Calling on the dogs
Calling in the dogs
Calling all the dogs
Calling on the gods
Meet me at the crossroads
Meet me at the edge of town
Outskirts of the city
Just you and I
And the evening sky
You'd better come alone
You'd better bring your gun
We're gonna have some fun!
When all else fails
We can whip the horses' eyes
And make them sleep
And cry.....
