    All right, wait a second.
    We have a long show, we have a hell of a show for you. A beautiful thing.
    All right, now look, look, we've...we've seen a lot of things happene in the city, and everything's turned around.
    Everything's beautiful. Nobody thought we'd be able to bring the Doors here, and we did.
    But we've got a couple of thi... Wait a second man! Look, we've just got a couple of little things that we've gotta tell you about.
    The fire-marshal is not gonna let this show go on, and I just had a long meeting with him, and man, this is no joke, you either gotta sit down, and you gotta go back to your seats, you gotta make isles, and that's it man.
    You gotta move back. Hey look! Hey look!
    Wait a second, hold on! Let's have a little help, man. Come on, everybody go back to their seats. People are gonna get hurt up here, they're gonna pass out. Now we don't want that man, and the Doors don't want that either. Ladies and gentlemen, the Doors!

    Now hold it, we've gotta tune up. Hey Philadelphia! Do you feel all right?

    Who Do You Love

    I walked 47 miles on barbed-wire,
    Got a cobra-snake for a necktie.
    I built a house by the roadside,
    Made of rattlesnake hide.

    Got a brand new chimney up on top,
    Made out of human skulls.
    Come on baby take a walk with me,
    And tell me who do you love?

    Who do you love?
    Who do you love?
    Who do you love?

    Tombstone head and a graveyard mind,
    I'm just 22 and I don't mind dying.
    Rode around the town with a rattlesnake whip,
    Come on baby don't give me no lip.

    Who do you love?
    Who do you love?
    Who do you love?

    The night is dark, the sky was blue,
    Down the alley the ice wagon flew.
    Hit a bump, somebody screamed,
    You should'a heard just what I seen.

    Who, baby, who do you love?
    What do you love, now?

    Love, love, love me girl.
    Love, love, love me darling.

    Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)

    Well, show me the way

    Love hides in familiar faces

    Universal Mind

    I was doing time in the universal mind
    I was feeling fince
    I was turning keys, I was setting people free
    I was doing alright

    Then you came along with a suitcase and a song
    Turned my head around
    Now I'm so alone, just looking for a home in every face I see
    I'm the freedom man, I'm the freedom man
    I'm the freedom man, that's how lucky I am

    Petition The Lord With Prayer

    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

    Dead Cats, Dead Rats

    Dead cats, dead rats, did you see what they were at, alright
    Dead cat in a top hat

    Sucking on a young man's blood
    Wishing he could come, yeah
    Sucking on a soldier's brain
    Wishing it would be the same

    Dead cat, dead rat, did you see what they were at
    Fat cat in a top hat
    Thinks he's an aristocrat
    Thinks he can kill and slaughter
    Thinks he can shoot my daughter

    Dead cats, dead rats, think you're an aristocrat
    Crap...ha, that's crap

    Break On Through #2

    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

    Chased our pleasures here
    Dug our treasures there
    Can you still recall the time we cried
    Break on through to the other side
    Break on through to the other side
    Break on through

    Everybody loves my baby
    Everybody loves my baby
    She get high
    She get high
    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, yeah...alright

    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

    Lions in the Street

    Lions in the street and 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
    Went down South and crossed the border
    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

    Wake up!
    You can't remember where it was
    Had this dream stopped?

    The snake was pale gold, glazed and shrunken
    We were afraid to touch it.
    The sheets were hot dead prisons.

    And she was beside me, old she's known, young
    Her dark red hair, the white soft skin

    Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
    Look! She's coming in here
    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 stinging blood
    The smooth hissing snakes of rain

    A Little Game

    Once I had a little game
    I like to crawl back in 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, forrget 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 there, I'm going too
    Release control, we're breaking through

    The Hill Dwellers

    Way back past the realm of pain.
    Back where there's never any pain

    And the rain falls gently on the town
    And over the heads of all of us

    And in the labyrinth of streams beneath the Quiet unearthly presence of
    Nervous hill dwellers in the gentle hills around
    Repitles abounding
    Fossils, caves, cool air heights

    Each house repeats a mold
    Windows rolled
    A beast car locked in a against morning.
    All now sleeping
    Rugs silent, mirrors vacant,
    Dust blind under the beds of lawful couples
    Wound in sheets
    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 and fan are on the ground
    We're getting out of town
    We're going on the run
    And your the one I want to come!

    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
    C'mon 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
    Rich are the rooms and the comfors there
    Red are the 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
    Come on along, we're not going very far
    To the east to 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, yeah

    Sun, sun, sun
    Burn, burn, burn
    Moon, moon, moon,
    I will get you soon...soon....soon!

    I am the Lizard King
    I can do everything

    Names of the Kingdom

    We came down the rivers and highways
    We came down from forests and falls
    We came down from Carson and 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 a fistful of silence
    Climbing valleys into the shade

    The Palace of Exile

    For seven years I dwelt in the loose palace of exile
    Playing strange games with the girls of the island
    Now I have come again to the land of the fair And the strong and the wise

    Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
    Children of night
    Who among you will run with the hunt?

    Now Night arrives with here purple legion
    Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
    Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
    I want to be ready

    Gloria

    Light My Fire (Including Graveyard Poem)

    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

    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

    It was the greatest night of my life
    although I still had not found a wife
    I had my friend right there beside me
    We were close together

    We tripped tbe wall
    We scaled the graveyard
    Ancient shapes were all around us
    The wet dew felt fresh beside the fog
    Two made love in an ancient spot
    One chased a rabbit into the dark
    A girl got drunk and balled the dead
    And I gave empty sermons to my head
    Cemetery, cool and quiet
    Hate to leave your sacred lay
    Dread the milky coming of the day

    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

    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

    Alright! Alright! Alright!

    Texas Radio and the Big Beat

    I wanna tell you about Texas Radio and the Big Beat
    Comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow
    With a back beat, narrow and hard to master
    Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
    Others mean and ruefull 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
    Well, this is the land where the Pharaoh died

    Children
    The river contains specimens
    The voices of singing women call us on the far shore
    And they are saying:
    Forget the night
    Live with us in forests of azure

    Meager food for souls forgot

    I'll tell you this...
    No eternal reward will forgive us now
    For wasting the dawn

    And one morning you awoke
    And the strange sun
    And opening your door...

    The End

    Come on, turn the lights out, man
    Turn it way down
    Hey Mister Lightman
    You gotta turn those lights way down, man!
    Hey, I'm not kidding, you gotta turn the the lights out
    Come on!
    What do we care...?

    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 desparate land
    Come on, baby!

    And we were in this house and there was a sound like silverware being dropped on linoleum, and then somebody ran into the room and they said
    "Have you seen the accident outside?"
    And everybody said:
    "Hey man, have you see the accident outside?"

    Have you seen the accident outside
    Seven people took a ride
    Six bachelors and their bride
    Seven people took a ride
    Seven people died

    Don't let me die in an automobile
    I wanna lie in an open field
    Want the snakes to suck my skin
    Want the worms to be my friends
    Want the birds to eat my eyes
    As here I lie
    The clouds fly by

    Ode to a grasshopper...
    I think I'll open a little shop,
    A little place where they sell things
    And I think I'll call it "Grasshopper"...

    I have a big green grasshopper out there
    Have you seen my grasshopper, mama?
    Looking real good...

    Oh, I blew it, it's a moth
    That's alright, he ain't got long to go, so we'll forgive him

    Ensenada
    The dog crucifix
    The dead seal
    Ghosts of the dead car sun
    Stop the car
    I'm getting out, I can't take it
    Hey, look out, there's somebody coming
    And there's nothing you can do about it...

    The killer awoke before dawn
    He put his boots on
    He took a face from the ancient gallery
    And he...he walked on down the hallway, baby
    Came to a door
    He looked inside

    Father?
    Yes, son?
    I wanna kill you
    Mother...I want to...
    Fuck you, mama, all night long
    Beware, mama
    Gonna love you, baby, all night

    Come on, baby, take a chance with us
    Come on, baby, take a chance with us
    Come on, baby, take a chance with us
    Meet me at the back of the blue bus
    Meet me at the back of the blue bus,
    Blue rock,
    Blue bus,
    Blue rock
    Blue bus

    Kill! Kill!

    This is the end, beautiful friend
    This is the end, my only friend, the end
    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
