01. Hello, I Love You

Music & lyrics by The Doors
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 walkin' 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
I need you
Love
Love
Hello
Hello
Hello

02. Love Street

Music & lyrics by The Doors
She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

I see you live on Love Street
There's the store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer Sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

03. Not To Touch The Earth

Music & lyrics by The Doors
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
Come on, 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 comforts 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, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run

Some outlaws live 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
We should see the gates by morning
We should be inside the evening
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn

Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon
Soon
Soon
I am the Lizard King
I can do anything

04. Summer's Almost Gone

Music & lyrics by The Doors
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
Almost gone
Yeah
It's almost gone

Where will we be
When the summer's gone?

Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burned gold into our hair
At night we swam the laughing sea

When summer's gone
Where will we be?
Where will we be?
Where will we be?

Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burned gold into our hair
At night we swam the laughing sea

When summer's gone
Where will we be?

Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
We had some good times
But they're gone

The winter's coming on
Summer's almost gone

05. Wintertime Love

Music & lyrics by The Doors
Wintertime winds blow cold this season
Fallin' in love I'm hopin' to be
Wind is so cold
Is that the reason
Keeping you warm, your hands touching me

Come with me
Dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be

Wintertime winds blue and freezin'
Comin' from northern storms in the sea
Love has been lost
Is that the reason
Trying so desperately to be free

Come with me
Dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be

Come with me
Dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be

06. Unknown Soldier

Music & lyrics by The Doors
Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older

The unknown soldier

Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Unborn living
Living, dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head

And it's all over for the unknown soldier
It's all over for the unknown soldier

"Company, halt!"

"Present arms!"

Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder

The unknown soldier

Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Unborn, living
Living, dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head

It's all over
The war is over
It's all over
The war is over

It's all over, baby
All over!

07. Spanish Caravan

Music & lyrics by The Doors
Carry me
Caravan
Take me away
Take me to Portugal
Take me to Spain
Andalusia
With fields of grain

I have to see you
Again and again
Take me
Spanish caravan
Yes
I know you can

Tradewinds find galleons
Lost in the sea
I know where treasures
Is waiting for me
Silver and gold
The mountains of Spain

I have to see you
Again and again
Take me
Spanish caravan
Yes
I know you can

08. My Wild Love

Music & lyrics by The Doors
My wild love went riding
She rode all the day
She rode to the devil
And asked him to pay

The devil was wiser
It's time to repent
He asked her to give back
The money she spent

My wild love went riding
She rode to the sea
She gathered together
Some shells for her hair

She rode and she rode on
She rode for a while
Then stopped for an evening
And laid her head down

She rode on to Christmas
She rode to the farm
She rode to Japan
And re-entered a town

By this time the weather
Had changed one degree
She asked for the people
To let her go free

My wild love went riding
She rode for an hour
She rode and she rested
And then she rode on

09. We Could Be So Good Together

Music & lyrics by The Doors
We could be so good together
Yeah, so good together
We could be so good together
Yeah, we could
I know we could

Tell you lies
I'll tell you wicked lies
Tell you lies
Tell you wicked lies

I'll tell you 'bout the world that we'll invent
Wanton world without lament
Enterprise, expedition
Invitation and invention

Yeah
So good together
Ah, so good together
We could be so good together
Yeah, we could
I know we could

We could be so good together
Yeah, so good together
We could be so good together
Yeah, we could
I know we could

Tell you lies
Tell you wicked lies
Tell you lies
Tell you wicked lies

The time you wait subtracts from joy
Beheads the angels you destroy
Angels fight
Angels cry
Angels dance and angels die

We could be so good together
Yeah, so good together
We could be so good together
Yeah, we could
I know we could

10. Yes, The River Knows

Music & lyrics by The Doors
Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me

Free fall flow river, flow
On and on it goes
Breathe under water till the end

Yes, the river knows

Please, believe me
If you don't need me
I'm going
But I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself
In mystic heated wine

Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me

I'm going but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself
In mystic heated wine

Free fall river, flow
On and on it goes
Breathe under water till the end

11. Five To One

Music & lyrics by The Doors
Five to one, baby
One in five
No one here gets out alive
Now
You get yours, baby
I'll get mine
Gonna make it, baby
If we try

The old get old and the young get stronger
May take a week and it may take longer
They got the guns but we got the numbers
Gonna win
Yeah, we're takin' over
Come on

Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
You walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
Gonna make it, baby
In our prime
Get together one more time

Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time

Well, c'mon, honey
Get along home and wait for me
Baby, I'll be home in just a little while
Y'see, I gotta go out in this car with these people
And get fucked up

Get together one more time
Get together one more time

Get together, gotta get together
Gotta get together, got to
Take you up in the mountains
Ha, ha, ha, ha

Love my girl
She's lookin' good
Lookin' real good
C'mon love ya
Feel, hey
Come on

12. Albinoni's Adagio In G Minor

Music by The Doors
[instrumental]

14. Not To Touch The Earth (Take 1)

Music & lyrics by The Doors
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
Come on, 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 comforts 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, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run

Some outlaws live 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
We should see the gates by morning
We should be inside the evening
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn

Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon
Soon
Soon
I am the Lizard King
I can do anything

15. Not To Touch The Earth (Take 2)

Music & lyrics by The Doors
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
Come on, 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 comforts 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, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run

Some outlaws live 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
We should see the gates by morning
We should be inside the evening
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn

Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon
Soon
Soon
I am the Lizard King
I can do anything

16. Celebration Of The Lizard (An Experiment/Work In Progress)

Music & lyrics by The Doors
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

He went down South and crossed the border
Left 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 shining skin
Is everybody in? Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin

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 prisms
And she was beside me
Old, she's no, 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

Once I had a little game
I liked to crawl back in my brain
I think you know, the game I mean
I mean the game, called, 'Go insane'

You should try this little game
Just close your eyes forget your name
Forget the world, forget 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

Way back deep into the brain
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
Gentle hill dwellers, in the gentle hills around
Reptiles abounding
Fossils, caves, cool air heights

Each house repeats a mold, windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant

Dust Lying 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 you're the one I want to come

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 comforts 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
C'mon along, we're not going very far
To the East to meet the Czar

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run

Some outlaws lived by the side of the 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

We should see the gates by mornin'
We should be inside by evening

Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn
I will get you
Soon, soon, soon

I am the lizard king
I can do anything

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

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 her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready
