01. Roadhouse Blues

Music by The Doors
Lyrics by Jim Morrison
Keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're goin' to the roadhouse
Gonna have a real good time

Yeah, in back of the roadhouse
They got some bungalows
Yeah, in back of the roadhouse
They got some bungalows
And that's for the people
Who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll
All night long

Ashen lady
Ashen lady
Give up your vows
Give up your vows

Save our city
Save our city
Right now

Well, I woke up this mornin'
I got myself a beer
Yeah, I woke up this mornin'
I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain
And the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, hey
All night long

02. Waiting For The Sun

Music & lyrics by Jim Morrison
At first flash of Eden we raced down to the sea
Standing there on freedom's shore

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

Can't you feel, 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

Can't 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

03. You Make Me Real

Music & lyrics by Jim Morrison
I really want you
Really do
Really need you, baby
God knows I do
'Cause I'm not real enough without you
Oh, what can I do?

You make me real
You make me feel
Like lovers feel

You make me throw away mistake and misery
Make me free, love
Make me free

I really want you
Really do
Really need you, baby
Really do
I'm not real enough without you
Oh, what can I do?
You make me real
Only you, baby
Have that appeal

So let me slide into your tender sunken sea
Make me free, love
Make me free

Roll now, baby, roll
Well, roll now, baby, roll
You gotta roll now, baby, roll
Roll now, honey, roll
You gotta roll now, baby, roll

Mke me real
You make me real
You make me feel
Like lovers feel

You make me throw away mistake and misery
Make me free, love
Make me free

Make me free
You make me free

04. Peace Frog

Music by Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger
Lyrics by Jim Morrison
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets of the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me

She came...
Just about the break of day
She came, then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

Blood on the streets runs a river of sadness
Blood in the streets, it's up to my thigh
The river runs red down the legs of the city
The women are crying and rivers are weeping

She came in town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway, bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile, eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A.

Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood willll be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets of the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me

05. Blue Sunday

Music & lyrics by Jim Morrison
I found my own true love
Was on a blue Sunday
She looked at me and told me
I was the only
One in the world
Now I have found my girl

My girl awaits for me in tender time
My girl is mine
She is the world
She is my girl

My girl awaits for me in tender time
My girl is mine
She is the world
She is my girl

06. Ship Of Fools

Music by Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger
Lyrics by Jim Morrison
The human race was dying out
No one left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon

Everyone was hangin' out
Hangin' up and hangin' down
Hangin' in and holdin' fast
Hope our little world will last

Along came Mister Goodtrips
Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people, better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're going home

Ship of fools
Ship of fools

The human race was dying out
No one left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon

Ship of fools
Ship of fools
Ship of fools
Ship of fools
Ship of fools
Ship of fools
Ship of fools

Yeah, climb on board
Ship's gonna leave ya far behind
Climb on board
Ship of fools
Ship of fools

07. Land Ho!

Music by Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger
Lyrics by Jim Morrison
Grandma loved a sailor who sailed the frozen sea
Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee
He said, "Son, I'm goin' crazy from livin' on the land
Got to find my shipmates and walk on foreign sands."

This old man was graceful, with silver in his smile
He smoked a briar pipe and he walked for country miles
Singing songs of shady sisters and old-time liberty
Songs of love and songs of death and songs to set men free

I've got three ships and sixty men
A course for ports unread
I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow
Till half of us are dead

Land ho!

Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill
Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill

If I get my hands on a number five
Gonna skin that little girl alive

If I get my hands on a number two
Come back home and marry you
Marry you
Marry you
All right!

Yeah, land ho
Yeah, land ho
Well, if I get back home
And I feel all right
You know I'm gonna love you tonight
Love tonight
Love tonight
Yeah, land ho!

08. The Spy

Music & lyrics by Jim Morrison
I'm a spy in the house of love
I know the dreams that you're dreamin' of
I know the words that you long to hear
I know your deepest secret fear

I'm a spy in the house of love
I know the dreams that you're dreamin' of
I know the words that you long to hear
I know your deepest secret fear

I know everything
Everything you do
Everywhere you go
Everyone you know
I'm a spy in the house of love
I know the dreams that you're dreamin' of
I know the words that you long to hear
I know your deepest secret fear
I know your deepest secret fear
I know your deepest secret fear
I'm a spy
I can see you
What you do
And I know

09. Queen Of The Highway

Music by Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger
Lyrics by Jim Morrison
She was a princess
Queen of the highway
Sign on the road said
"Take us to Madre."
No one could save her
Save the blind tiger
He was a monster
Black dressed in leather

She was a princess
Queen of the highway

Now they are wedded
She is a good girl
Naked as children
Out in the meadow
Naked as children
Wild as can be
Soon to have offspring
Start it all over
Start it all over

American boy
American girl

Most beautiful people in the world
Son of a frontier Indian swirl
Dancing thru the midnight whirlpool
Formless
Hope it can continue a little while longer

10. Indian Summer

Music by Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger
Lyrics by Jim Morrison
I love you the best
Better than all the rest
I love you the best
Better than all the rest
That I meet in the summer
Indian summer
That I meet in the summer
Indian summer

I love you the best
Better than all the rest

11. Maggie M'Gill

Music by The Doors
Lyrics by Jim Morrison
Miss Maggie M'Gill, she lived on a hill
Her daddy got drunk and left her no will
So she went down, down to "Tangie Town"
People down there really like to get it on

Now, if you're sad and you're feelin' blue
Go out and buy a brand new pair of shoes
And you go down, down to "Tangie Town"
The people down there really like to get it on
Get it on

Illegitimate son of a rock 'n' roll star
Illegitimate son of a rock 'n' roll star
Mom met dad in the back of a rock 'n' roll car
Yeah
Well, I'm an old blues man and I think that you understand
I've been singing the blues ever since the world began

Maggie
Maggie
Maggie M'Gill
Roll on
Roll on
Maggie M'Gill

Maggie
Maggie
Maggie M'Gill
Roll on
Roll on
Maggie M'Gill
