The Best of The Doors

Here are the lyrics to all the songs on the Best of The Doors double CD

Break On Through (To The Other Side)

You know the day destroys the night Night divides the day Tried to run Tried to hide Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side, yeah

We chased our pleasures here Dug our treasures there But can you still recall The time we cried Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side

Yeah! C'mon, yeah

Everybody loves my baby Everybody loves my baby She get She get She get She get high

I found an island in your arms Country in your eyes Arms that chain us Eyes that lie Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through, oww! Oh, yeah!

Made the scene Week to week Day to day Hour to hour The gate is straight Deep and wide Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through Break on through Break on through Break on through Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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

Come on baby, light my fire Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through No time to wallow in the mire Try now we can only lose And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire, yeah

The time to hesitate is through No time to wallow in the mire Try now we can only lose And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire, yeah

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

Come on baby, light my fire Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire Try to set the night on fire Try to set the night on fire Try to set the night on fire

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

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 the rain When you're strange No one remembers your name When you're strange When you're strange When you're 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 the rain When you're strange No one remembers your name When you're strange When you're strange When you're strange

When you're strange Faces come out of the rain When you're strange No one remembers your name When you're strange When you're strange When you're strange

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

Yeah!

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

Yeah!

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

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 I could not speak Love me one time Yeah, my knees got weak But love me two times, girl Last me all through the week Love me two times I'm goin' away Love me two times I'm goin' away

Oh, yes

Love me one time I could not speak Love me one time, baby Yeah, my knees got weak But love me two times, girl Last me all through the week Love me two times I'm goin' away

Love me two times, babe Love me twice today Love me two times, babe 'Cause I'm goin' away Love me two time, girl One for tomorrow One just for today Love me two times I'm goin' away Love me two times I'm goin' away Love me two times I'm goin' away

Waiting for the Sun

At first flash of Eden, We race down to the sea. Standing there on Freedom's shore.

Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun.

Can 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 for the sun. Waiting, Waiting, Waiting, Waiting 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. *scream*

Can 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 for the sun

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

Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea I know where treasure is waiting for me Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain I have to see you again and again Take me, Spanish Caravan Yes, I know you can

When The Music's Over

Yeah, c'mon

When the music's over When the music's over, yeah When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights, yeah

When the music's over When the music's over When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights

For the music is your special friend Dance on fire as it intends Music is your only friend Until the end Until the end Until the end

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 Waitin' 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 arm We're gettin' tired of hangin' around Waitin' around with our heads to the ground

I hear a very gentle sound Very near yet very far Very soft, yeah, very clear Come today, come today

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... We want the world and we want it... Now Now? Now!

Persian night, babe See the light, babe Save us! Jesus! Save us!

So when the music's over When the music's over, yeah When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights

Well the music is your special friend Dance on fire as it intends Music is your only friend Until the end Until the end Until the end!

Hello, I Love You

Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game

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?

Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game

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, Hello, Hello, Hello I want you Hello I need my baby Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine 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's 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 callin' us The blue bus is callin' us Driver, where you taken' 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 into the room where his sister lived, and...then he Paid a visit to his brother, and then he He walked on down the hall, and And he came to a door...and he looked inside Father, yes son, I want to kill you Mother...I want to...fuck you
