L'
AMERICA
(The
Doors)
Yeeeaahh
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for
a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for
a pint of gold
L'America, L'America, L'America
L'America, L'America, L'America
C'mon people, don't ya look
so down
You know the rain man's
comin' ta town
Change the weather, change
your luck
And then he'll teach ya
how ta...find yourself
L'America
Friendly strangers came to
town
All the people put them
down
But, the women loved their
ways
Come again some other day
Like the gentle rain
Like the gentle rain that
falls
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for
a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for
a pint of gold
L'America, L'America, L'America... |
THE
UNKNOWN SOLDIER
(The
Doors)
Wait until the war is over,
And we're both a little
older.
The unknown soldier.
Practice where the news is
read,
Television children dead,
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.
Practoce as the news is read,
Television children dead.
Bullet strikes the helmet's
head
It's all over,
The war is over.
Over.
Over. |
WINTERTIME
LOVE
(The
Doors)
Wintertime winds blow cold
the 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 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. |
THE
SOFT PARADE
(The
Doors)
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 any more
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
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
Successful hills are here
to stay
Everything must be this
way
Gentle streets where people
play
Welcome to the soft Parade
All our lives we sweat and
save
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
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
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 need someone or something
new
Something else to get us
through
Calling on the dogs
Calling on the dogs
Calling on the dogs
Meet me at the crossroads
Meet me at the edge of town
Outskirts of the city
Just you and I
And the evening sky
You'd better come alone
You'd better bring your
gun
We're gonna have some fun!
When all else fails
We can whip the horses'
eyes
And make then sleep
And cry... |
