NEWBORN
AWAKENING
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 Phantastic L.A.
Blood
screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
Blood on the rise, it's following me.
Indian, Indian what did you die for?
Indian says, nothing at all.
Gently
they stir, gently rise
The dead are newborn awakening
With ravaged limbs and wet souls
Gently they sigh in rapt funeral amazement
Who ca?????lled these dead to dance?
Was it the young woman learning to play the ghost song on
her baby grand?
Was it the wilderness children?
Was it the ghost god himself, stuttering, cheering,
chatting blindly?
I called you up to anoint the earth
I called you to announce sadness falling like burned skin
I called you to wish you well
To glory in self like a new monster
And now I call you to pray
NO
ME MOLESTE MOSQUITO
No me moleste mosquito
No me moleste mosquito
No me moleste mosquito
Why don't you go home
No me moleste mosquito
Let me eat my burrito
No me moleste mosquito
Why don't you go home.
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 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
Whoa!
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
Ya,
c'mon!
We
should see the gates by mornin'
We should be inside the evenin'
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 anythin
ORANGE
COUNTY
Artist: The Doors
Album: other songs
Lyrics: by Jim Morrison
Well
I used to know someone fair
She had orange ribbons in her hair
She was such a trip
She was hardly there
But I loved her
Just the same.
There
was rain in our window,
The FM set was ragged
But she could talk, yeah,
We learned to speak
And
one year
has gone by
Such
a long long road to seek it
All we did was break and freak it
We had all
That lovers ever had
We just blew it
And I'm not sad
Well
I'm mad
And
I'm bad
And
two years
have gone by
Now
her world was bright orange
And the fire glowed
And her friend had a baby
And she lived with us
Yeah, we broke through the window
Yeah, we knocked on the door
Her phone would not answer,
Yeah, but she's still home
Now
her father has passed over
and her sister is a star
and her mother smokes diamonds
and she sleeps out in the car
Yeah,
but she remembers Chicago
The musicians guitars
and grass by the lake
and people who laugh'd
and made her poor heart ache
Now
we live down in the valley
We work out on the farm
We climb up to the mountains
and everything's fine
and
I'm still here
and you're still there
and we're still around
PEACE
FROG
There's
blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
????? There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about the break of day
She
came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
She
came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh
She came
Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying rivers of weepin'
She
came into 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 Phantastic L.A.
Blood
screams the pain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will 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 in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following m
PEOPLE
ARE 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

When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange

POONTANG
BLUES

QUEEN
OF THE HIGHWAY
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 a meadow,
Naked as children, wild as can be,
Soon to have offspring, start it all over
Start
at all over
American
boy, American girl,
Most beautiful people in the world!
Son of a frontier Indian Swirl,
Dancing through the midnight whirl-pool
Formless hope it can
continue a little while longer

ROCK IS DEAD
Hi you lady… alright babe… gonna love ya…
When I was just a little boy, ‘bout
the age of five
I went to sleep,
I heard my mama and papa talking -
She said
We got to stop that boy, he’s gettin too far out,
He’s goin’ wild, we gotta stop that child.
And I lay there listening, feeling bad -
You know, people, I was feeling bad.
Mama didn’t like the way I did my thing.
The old lady, she didn’t get with that thing.
But my daddy was a sailor, get his head around,
And he said
Boy you got to do it son, get yourself intact,
You gotta love love love love love my baby tonight.
Let me tell you baby ‘bout the death of rock,
I used to be a boy in my home block,
Used to feel alone then I heard some news,
Bunch o’cats got the rockin’ news.
You know I love my rock’n’roll people,
You know we got some fun,

Rock and roll is dead.

And I swear to God I don’t want to hear
No talk about no constitution.
And in my frame of mind I am in no mood for
No talk about no… cremation.
The only thing I’m interested in…

No demonstrations, no cacitritions, no impablermations.

And who killed it.

I’m talkin’ about the news.
Have you heard, have you heard,
Have you heard the word ?
Rock is dead.
Rock is dead.
Now I didn’t want to be the one to lay it on ya sweetheart,
But I used to be a little fellow traveller.
I used to think we had the whole thing sewed up, mama.

As long as I got breath, the death of rock
Is the death of me,
And rock is dead
Well, we’re dead… alright… yeah !…

Try it again, remembering when

went down to St. James Infirmary.
I saw my baby there.
Stretched out on a marble table.
So cold.
So white.
So pale.
SHAMAN'S
BLUES
There
will never be
Another one like you
There will never be
Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh
Will
you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember
We were together, anyway, all right
And
if you have a certain evenin'
You could lend to me
I'd give it all right back to you
A how it has to be with you
I know your moves and your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
Will
you stop and think and wonder?
Just what you'll see
Out on the train yard
Nursin' penitentiary
It's gone, I cry out long
Go
head, brother
Did
you stop it to consider?
How it will feel
Cold, grinded grizzly bear jaws
Hot on your heels
Do
you often stop and whisper?
It's Saturday's shore
The whole world's a savior
Who could ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever
Ask for more?
Do
you remember?
Will you stop?
Will you stop?
The pain
And
there will never be
Another one like you
There will never be
Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh
Will
you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember
We were together, anyway, all right
How
you must of think and wondered
How I must feel
Out on the meadows
While you run the field
I'm alone for you
And I cry
The
sweat, look at it
Optical pr?????omise
Heh, heh, heh
You'll be dead and in hell
Before I'm born
Sure thing
Brides maid
The only solution
Isn't it amazing?
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.
Ev'ryone was hangin' out,
Hangin' up and hangin' down.
Hangin' in and holdin' fast,
Hope our little world will last.
Yeah,
Along came Mister Goodtrips
Looking for a new ship.
Come on, people, better climb on board;
Come on, baby, now we're going home.
Ship of fools, ship of fools,
Smog will get you pretty soon.
SOMEDAY
SOON
(Live At The Seattle Center, Seattle, 1970)
Someday
soon, someday soon
Familiar freaks will fill your living room
Rugs lash out with their lizard tongues, you’re not
getting young
You’re not getting young
And
I hate to remind you but you’re going to die
All by yourself in the infancy’s lie
Someday
soon, someday soon
Television bleeding like a harvest moon
Flush the scissors down the hole, you’re getting old
You’re getting old
And
I hate to remind you but you’re going to die
And you’re going to be needing all of your lies
You’ll be all alone when the cannibal’s cry
All by yourself in the infancy’s lie
Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still ?????one place to go
Let
me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well,
your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Let
me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well
the clock says it's time to close now
I know I have to go now
I really want to stay here
All night, all night, all night
SPANISH
CARAVAN
Carry
me Caravan take me away
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalusia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
Trade
winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
STONED IMMACULATE
I'll tell you this...
No eternal reward will forgive us now
For wasting the dawn.
Back
in those days everything was simpler and more
confused
One summer night, going to the pier
I ran into two young girls
The blonde one was called Freedom
The dark one, Enterprise
We talked and they told me this story
Now listen to this...
I'll tell you about Texas radio and the big beat
Soft driven, slow and mad
Like some new language
Reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine
messenger
Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god
Wandering, wandering in hopeless night
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned
Immaculate.
STRANGE
DAYS
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
SUMMER'S
ALMOST GONE
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 burn gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone
Where will we be
Where will we be
Where will we be
Morning
found us calmly unaware
Noon burn gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' 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 comin' on
Summer's almost gone

THE
GHOST SONG
Awake
Shake
dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and choose the sign of your day
The day's divinity
First thing you see.
A
vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by it's quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose they croon the Ancient Ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon
Beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest,
Enter the hot dream,
Come with us.
Everything is broken up and dances.
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.
We
have assembled inside this ancient
and insane theatre
To propagate our lust for life
and flee the swarming wisdom
of the streets
The barns are stormed
The windows kept
And only one of all the rest
To dance and save us
With the divine mockery
of words
Music inflames temperament
O
great creator of being
grant us one more hour to
perform our art
and perfect our lives
We need great golden copulations
(When the true King's murderers
are allowed to roam free
a 1000 Magicians arise
in the land)
Where
are the feasts
we were promised
TAKE IT AS IT COMES
Time to live
Time to lie
Time to laugh
Time to die
Takes
it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
Time
to walk
Time to run
Time to aim your arrows
At the sun
Takes
it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
Go
real slow
You like it more and more
Take it as it comes
Specialize in havin' fun
Takes
it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast
TELL
ALL THE PEOPLE
Tell
all the people that you see,
Follow me,
Follow me down.
Tell all the people that you see,
Set them free,
Follow me down.
You
tell them they don't have to run,
We're gonna pick up everyone.
Come on, take me by my hand
Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand.
Oh, yeah.
Can't
you see the wonder at your feet
Your life's complete,
Follow me down.
Can't you see me growing, get your guns,
The time has come
To follow me down.
Follow
me across the sea
Where milky babies seem to be
Molded, flowing revelry
With the one that set them free.
Tell all the people that you see,
It's just me,
Follow me down.
Tell
all the people that you see,
Follow me,
Follow me down.
Tell all the people that you see,
We'll be free,
Follow me down.
Tell
all the people that you see,

THANK
YOU, O LORD
One
more thing...
In that case you're right.
Thank
you, O Lord
For the white blind light
Thank you, O Lord
For the white blind light
A city rises from the sea
I had a splitting headache
from which the future's made.
THE
CELEBRATE OF THE LIZARD
(Live Version At Madison Square Garden, New York, 1970)
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 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!
You can't remember where it was
Has this dream stopped?
The
snake was pale gold
Glazed & shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisons
Now,
run to the mirror in the bathroom
Look!
I can't live thru 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 into 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, 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 in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
Nervous 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 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 & 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
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, 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
We shall
see the gates by morning
We shall be inside by evening
Sun,
sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon!
Soon!
Soon!
Let
the carnival bells ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything
We came
down
The rivers & highways
We came down from
Forests & falls
We came
down from
Carson & Springfield
We came down from
Phoenix enthralled
& 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
"I
am the Lizard King
I can do anything
I can make the earth stop in its tracks
I made the blue cars go away
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, & the strong, &
the wise
Brothers
& sisters of the pale forest
O children of Night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now
Night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready"
THE
CHANGELING
Uh!
Uha!
Gedu!
I
live uptown
I live downtown
I live all around
I
had money, and I had none
I had money, and I had none
But I never been so broke
That I couldn't leave town
I'm
a Changeling
See me change
I'm a Changelin'
See me change
I'm

Food you eat
Friends your greet
In the sullen street, wow
See

See me change, you
I

I live downtown

I

I had money, yeah, and I had none
But I never been so broke

Uh, ah!

On a midnight train
Gotta see me change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Woa, change, change, change
THE
CRYSTAL SHIP
Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss,
Another flashing chance at bliss,
Another kiss, another kiss.
The
days are bright and filled with pain.
Enclose me in your gentle rain,
The time you ran was too insane,
We'll meet again, we'll meet again.
Oh'
tell me where your freedom lies,
The streets are fields that never die,
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly.
The
crystal ship is being filled,
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills,
A million ways to spend your time;
When we get back, I'll drop a line.
THE
END
Hollywood
Bowl Concert, Los Angeles, July 3th, 4th and 5th, 1968
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
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 is 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 calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where you taking 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 to 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 he came to a door, and he looked inside
"Father?"-"Yes, son?"-"I want to
kill you,
Mother, I want to..."
Come
on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Still now
Blue bus
Oh now
Blue bus
Still now
Uuh yeah
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 night we tried to die
This is the end
THE
HITCHHIKER
Thoughts
in time and out of season
The Hitchhiker
Stood by the side of the road
And leveled his thumb
In the calm calculus of reason
Hi.
How you doin'? I just got back into town. L.A.
I was out on the desert for awhile
Riders on the storm
Yeah. In the middle of it
Riders on the storm
Right...
Into this world we're born
Hey, listen, man, I really got a problem
Into this world we're thrown
When I was out on the desert, ya know
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
I don't know how to tell you
Riders on the storm
but, ah, I killed somebody
There's a killer on the road
No...
His brain is squirming like a toad
It's no big deal, ya know
I don't think anybody will find out about it, but...
Take a long holiday
just, ah...
Let your children play
this guy gave me a ride, and ah...
If you give this man a ride
started giving me a lot of trouble
Sweet family will die
and I just couldn't take it, ya know
Killer on the road
And I wasted him
Yeah
THE MOVIE
The movie will begin in five moments
The mindless voice announced
All those unseated will await the next show.
We
filed slowly, languidly into the hall
The auditorium was vast and silent
As we seated and were darkened, the voice continued:
The program for this evening is not new
You've seen this entertainment through and
through
You've seen your birth your life and death
you might recall all of the rest
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?.
I'm
getting out of here
Where are you going?
To the other side of morning
Please don't chase the clouds, pagodas
Her cunt gripped him like a warm, friendly hand.
It's all right, all your friends are here
When can I meet them?
After you've eaten
I'm not hungry
Uh, we meant beaten
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
You cannot petition the lord with prayer!
Can
you give me sanctuary
I must find a place to hide
A place for me to hide
Can
you find me soft asylum
I????? can't make it anymore
The Man is at the door
Peppermint,
miniskirts, chocolate candy
Champion sax and a girl named Sandy
There's only four ways to get unraveled
One is to sleep and the other is travel, da da
One is a bandit up in the hills
One is to love your neighbor 'till
His wife gets home
Catacombs
Nursery bones
Winter women
Growing stones
Carrying babies
To the river
Streets
and shoes
Avenues
Leather riders
Selling news
The monk bought lunch
Ha

What'd he say?
Yeah!

Successful
hills are here to stay
Everything must be this way
Gentle streets where people play
Welcome to the Soft Parade
All

Building for a shallow grave
Must be something else we say
Somehow to defend this place
Everything must be this way
Everything must be this way, yeah
The
Soft Parade has now begun
Listen to the engines hum
People out to have some fun
A cobra on my left
Leopard on my right, yeah
The
deer woman in a silk dress
Girls with beads around their necks
Kiss the hunter of the green vest
Who has wrestled before
With lions in the night
Out
of sight!
The lights are getting brighter
The radio is moaning
Calling to the dogs
There are still a few animals
Left out in the yard
But it's getting harder
To describe sailors
To the underfed
Tropic
corridor
Tropic treasure
What got us this far
To this mild equator?
We

Something else to get us through, yeah, c'mon
Callin'

Callin' on the dogs
Callin' in the dogs
Callin' all the dogs

At the crossroads
Too late
All in the yard
But it's gettin' harder
By the crossroads
You gotta meet me
Oh, we're goin', we're goin great
At the edge of town
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
Havin' a good time
Got to come along
What got us this far
To this mild equator?
Outskirts of the city
You and I
We need someone new
Somethin' new
Somethin' else to get us through
Better bring your gun
Better bring your gun
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
We're gonna ride and have some fun
When
all else fails
We can whip the horse's eyes
And make them sleep
And cry

THE WASP (TEXAS RADIO AND THE BIG BEAT)
I
wanna tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master
Some
call it heavenly in it's brilliance
Others, mean and ruthful 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
This is the land whe?????re the Pharaoh died
The
Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, "Forget the night.
Live with us in forests of azure.
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned - immaculate."
Listen
to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the lose of God
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul
I'll
tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn
I'll
tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Soft drivin', slow and mad, like some new language
Now,
listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas
I'll tell you 'bout the Texas Radio
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
Wandering the Western dream
Tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul
THE
WORLD ON FIRE
The
World on Fire?????...Taxi from Africa...The Grand Hotel...
He was drunk a big party last night back going back
In all directions sleeping these insane hours
I'll never wake up in a good mood again
I'm sick of these stinky boots

TO COME OF AGE
A
military station in the desert.
Can
we resolve the past
Lurking jaws, joints of time?
The Base
To come of age in a dry place
Holes and caves.
My
friend drove and hour each day from the????? mountains
The bus gives you a hard-on with books in your lap
Someone shot the bird in the afternoon dance show
They gave out free records to the best couple
Spades dance best, from the hip.
TOUCH
ME
Yeah!
Come

No tears, no fears
No ruined years, no clocks

Sent to manless school
It never hesitates
She won't waste time
On elementary talk

Got the world locked up
Inside a plastic box
She's a twentieth century fox, oh yea
Twentieth century fox, oh yeah
Twentieth century fox

WAITING
FOR THE SUN
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 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.
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.
