A selection of my favourite lyrics written by Jim Morrison and The Doors.
Break
On Through (To The Other Side)
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, yeah
We
chased our pleasures here
Dug
our treasures there
But
can you still recall
The
time we cried
Break
on through to the other side
Break
on through to the other side
Yeah!
C'mon,
yeah
Everybody
loves my baby
Everybody
loves my baby
She
get
She
get
She
get
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, oww!
Oh,
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
Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Light
My Fire
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
The
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, yeah
The
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, yeah
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
Try
to set the night on fire
Try
to set the night on fire
Try
to set the night on fire
Riders
On The Storm
Riders
on the storm
Riders
on the storm
Into
this house we're born
Into
this world we're thrown
Like
a dog without a bone
An
actor out alone
Riders
on the storm
There's
a killer on the road
His
brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take
a long holiday
Let
your children play
If
ya give this man a ride
Sweet
memory will die
Killer
on the road, yeah
Girl
ya gotta love your man
Girl
ya gotta love your man
Take
him by the hand
Make
him understand
The
world on you depends
Our
life will never end
Gotta
love your man, yeah
Wow!
Riders
on the storm
Riders
on the storm
Into
this house we're born
Into
this world we're thrown
Like
a dog without a bone
An
actor out alone
Riders
on the storm
Riders
on the storm
Riders
on the storm
Riders
on the storm
Riders
on the storm
Riders
on the storm
Love
Street
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
this 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,

The
End
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, yeah
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's 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 callin' us
The
blue bus is callin' us
Driver,
where you taken' 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 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
And
he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father,
yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I
want to...fuck you
C'mon
baby, take a chance with us
C'mon
baby, take a chance with us
C'mon
baby, take a chance with us
And
meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin'
a blue rock
On
a blue bus
Doin'
a blue rock
C'mon,
yeah
Kill,
kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
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 nights we tried to die
This
is the end
Hello,
I Love You
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
walking 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
Hello
I
need my baby
Hello,
Hello, Hello, Hello
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 anything
