The Doors Lyrics

Break On Through

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

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


back

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Wow!

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 alone
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm


back

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

I live uptown.
I live downtown.
I live all around. 
I had money,

back

Well I just got into town
About an hour ago.
Took a look around,
See which way the wind blow.
Where the little girls 
In their Hollywood bungalows. 
Are you a lucky little lady 
In The City of Light.
Or just another lost angel.
City of Night.
City of Night. 
City of Night. 
City of Night. 
Woo, come on! 

L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman.
L.A. Woman, Sunday afternoon.
L.A. Woman, Sunday afternoon.
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
Drive through your suburbs
Into your blues.
Into your blues, yeah.
Into your blue-blue, blues.
Into your blues, ohh, yeah. 

I see your hair is burning.
Hills are filled with fire.
If they say I never loved you,
You know they are a liar.
Driving down your freeways.
Midnight alleys roam.
Cops in cars, 
The topless bars.
Never saw a woman,
So alone, so alone, yeah.
So alone, so alone. 

Motel, money, murder, madness,
Change the mood from glad to sadness 

Mr. Mojo Risin'. 
Mr. Mojo Risin'.
Mr. Mojo Risin'. 
Mr. Mojo Risin'.
Got to keep on risin'.
Mr. Mojo Risin'. 
Mr. Mojo Risin'.
Mojo Risin', 
Got the Mojo Risin'

Gotta keep on risin'
Ridin', ridin'.

Well, ride in, ride in.
I gotta, woo, yeah, ride
Whoa, ohh yeah. 

Well, I just got into 
Town about an hour ago.
Took a look around, 
See which way the wind blow.
Where the little girls 
In their Hollywood bungalows. 

Are you a lucky little lady 
In the City of Light
Or just another lost angel.
City of Night.
City of Night.

back

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 


back

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, 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 

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah 

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill 

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 nights we tried to die 

This is the end
