"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."

"Now I'm gonna love you Till the heavens stop the rain I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky For you and I."

"The Doors were firmly planted in a vague space between the end of “traditional” hard rock music and the birth of psychedelia."

"I'm a back door man The men don't know But the little girls understand."

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

"Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss."

"The Doors were among the decade’s most incendiary groups musically, lyrically and visually."

"I want you to be crazy, 'cause you're boring, baby, when you're straight. I want you to be crazy, 'cause you're stupid, baby, when you're sane."

"She'll only come out at night, The lean and hungry type. Nothing is new, I've seen her here before. Watching and waiting. Ooh, she's sitting with you, but her eyes are on the door. So many have paid to see what you think you're getting for free. The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar. Money's the matter. If you're in it for love, you ain't gonna get too far.(Oh-oh, here she comes) Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up (Oh-oh, here she comes) She's a maneater."

"What I want, you've got, But it might be hard to handle. Like the flame that burns the candle. The candle feeds the flame yeah yeah. What I got -- full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter And you pull them all together. And how? I can't explain, oh yeah.Well well you (ooh ooh ooh ooh) You make my dreams come true (you you) you (you you) Well well well you (ooh ooh ooh ooh) Oh yeah you make my dreams come true (ooh oooh ooh ooh) hell yeah."

"When I feel cold, you warm me. And when I feel I can't go on, You come and hold me. It's you and me forever.Sara, smile. Oh, won't you smile awhile for me, Sara."

"You could go either way. Is it easier to stay? I wonder what you'll do When your chance rolls around. But you gotta know how much I want to keep you. When I'm away I'm afraid it will all fall down. Please, wait for me (Wait for me)."

"When they insist on knowing my bliss, I tell them this. When they want to know what the reason is, I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why.Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list. Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list. Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life. Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list. Because your kiss, your kiss I can't resist. Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light."

"I'm tired of playing on the team; It seems I don't get time out anymore. What a change if we set the pace face to face, No one even trying to score. Oh oh I can feel the magic of your touch, And when you move in close a little bit means so much. Ooh yeah, you've got to understand baby, Time out is what I'm here for.One on one I wanna play that game tonight. One on one I know I wanna play that One on one I wanna play that game tonight One on one so slow."

"She's gone, she's gone, Oh I, oh I I better learn how to face it. She's gone, she's gone, Oh I, oh I I'd pay the devil to replace her. She's gone, and she's gone. Oh why, what went wrong?"

"If you're not an easy mark, It's a shot in the dark that hits the heart. And I know, I know, I know, I know when it's coming. I thought so anyway. Some things stay the same, And some are due for change. I thought I had them all nailed down, But you turned it around.Oh, you did it, you did it, you did it, you did it. You did it in a minute, you did it."

"Everybody's high on consolation. Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me, yeah. My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon. But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me."

"Easy, ready, willing, overtime. Where does it stop, Where do you dare me To draw the line? You've got the body, Now you want my soul. Don't even think about it Say, no go.I'll do anything That you want me to do. Yeah, I'll do almost anything That you want me too, ooh. Yeah.But I can't go for that, no, No can do. I can't go for that, no, No can do."

"Go on and go free; Maybe you're too close to see. I can feel your body move, But doesn't mean that much to me. I can't go on singing the same theme, 'Cause you can't see we've got everything Baby, even though you know.That everytime you go away, You take a piece of me with you. You just don't care. Everytime you go away, You take a piece of me with you, you."

"Shake it up is all that we know, Using the bodies up as we go. I'm waking up to fantasy. The shades all around aren't the colors we used to see. Broken ice still melts in the sun And times that are broken can often be one again We're soul alone, And soul really matters to me. Take a look around.You're out of touch, I'm out of time. But I'm out of my head When you're not around."

"You play with words, you play with love. You can twist it around, baby, that ain't enough. Cause girl, I'm going to know If you're letting me in or letting me go. Don't lie when you're hurting inside, Cause you can't escape myPrivate eyes. They're watching you. They see your every move, baby."

"You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far Cause you know it don't matter anyway. You can rely on the old man's money, You can rely on the old man's money. It's a bitch, girl, but it's gone too far, Cause you know it don't matter anyway. Say money but it won't get you too far, Get you too far."

"Was riding alongside the highway, Rolling up the country side, Thinking I'm the devil's heat wave. What you burn in your crazy mind? Saw a slight distraction standing by the road. She was smiling there, yellow in her hair. Do you want to, I was thinking, Would you care?"

"First thing I remember was asking papa "Why?" For there were many things I didn't know. And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand Saying, "Someday you'll understand."Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mother's son, You better learn it fast; you better learn it young, 'Cause someday never comes."

"Whoa, thought it was a nightmare, low, it's all so true. They told me, don't go walking slow, the devil's on the loose.Better run through the jungle. Better run through the jungle. Better run through the jungle. Don't look back to see."

"You can ponder perpetual motion, Fix your mind on a crystal day. Always time for good conversation, There's an ear for what you say.Come on the rising wind, We're going up around the bend. Yeeaahhh!"

"As long as I remember, The rain's been comin' down. Clouds of mystery pourin', Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages Tryin' to find the sun. And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain?"

"Pack my bag and let's get movin' 'Cause I'm bound to drift a while. Well I'm gone, gone, you don't have to worry no Long as I can see the light."

"Seven thirty seven coming out of the sky, Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride?I want to move, Playing in a travelin' band, Yeah! Well I'm flying across the land, trying to get a hand, Playing in a travelin' band."

"Down on the corner, Out in the street Willy and the poorboys are playin' Bring a nickel, tap your feet."

"Well, take me back down where cool water flow, yeh Let me remember things I love Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite, Walkin' along the river road at night, Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight. I can hear the bull frog callin' me Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water, Shoe fly, dragon fly, get back t your mother Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River."

"Some folks are born made to wave the flag, Ooo, they're red, white and blue. And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief", Ooo, they point the cannon at you, Lord. It ain't me, it ain't me... I ain't no senator's son, no. It ain't me, it ain't me... I ain't no fortunate one, no."

"Don't look now, someone's done your starving. Don't look now, someone's done your praying too.Who will make the shoes for your feet? Who will make the clothes that you wear? Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep? Don't look now, it ain't you or me."

"Someone told me long ago, There's a calm before the storm, I know. And it's been coming for some time. When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day, I know. Shining down like water. I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain Coming down on a sunny day?"

"Now, when I was just a little boy, Standin' to my Daddy's knee, My papa said, "Son, don't let the man get you An' do what he done to me." Because he'll get you. Because he'll get you now, now.An' I can remember the fourth o' July, Runnin' through the backwood bare. An' I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin', Chasin' down a hoodoo there. Chasin' down a hoodoo there.Born on the Bayou. Born on the Bayou."

"Left a good job in the city, Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day. And I never lost one minute of sleepin' Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been. Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin'. Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river."

"I see the bad moon arising, I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightnin', I see bad times today. Don't go around tonight, Well, it's bound to take your life. There's a bad moon on the rise."

"Just about a year ago, I set out on the road Seekin´ my fame and fortune, Lookin´ for a pot of gold. Things got bad and things got worse. I guess you know the tune. Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again."

"Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch. Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singing: Doo, doo, doo, looking out my back door."

"No stopping at the red light, girl 'Cause I want to get your signal. No going at the green light, girl 'Cause I want to be with you now. You are my special, you are my special, You are my midnight, midnight, yeah."

"Do you remember what I said, When I got down on my knees? Gotta get your lovin', baby, Lovin's all I need. Don't make me beg now, baby, Don't make me bleed. I gave you all a man could give, And you still walked out on me."

"Many people are dividing. And a world apart with just one heart Is bound to keel and fade away. None of us will be deciding, And the fate of man is in the hands Of he who stands and heeds the call."

"When the curtain falls, Walk the hollow halls, babe. Once a valley doll, Now you’re not at all, no."

"Oh my holy lord, Sets my soul on fire. Flames of love and sweet perfume She's my heart’s desire. She's an angel straight from Hell. Draws me to the deep. In the darkness way below, It's my heart she’ll keep."

"Babe, ain’t no denying That I’ve got you in my head. Girl, I’d be flying If you stood yourself and saidYou’re the one I want, You’re the one I need. You’re the one I had, So come on back to me."

"Goodbye daughters of the revolution. Open your eyes and see your solution. Hallelujah come join the jubilee."

"I've been down, Cascading and blue without a sound. Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown. So feed me milk & honey. Lay me down, Lay me down, Look around. Show me holy places not yet found. Let's disappear and we'll hide underground. We'll get high and we'll feel safe and sound. It comes around."

"Your words buzz around my head, You make me feel warm again. You are my lover, my song, my best friend, I don't want this to ever end.You hold my heart in your hands, Our home is like a promised land. I just want you, just want you to understand."

"I took all I need, I don't need no more. Then I'll take what I want, Until I want some more."

"Do you want to do it all with me? Do you want to scream and bleed for me? You can have all of me, all of me. Your teeth taste just like razor blades. Yeah you got my tongue ready. You fill me up with your politics And leave me so heavy."
