HELLO, I LOVE YOU |
|
Hello, I love you Won't you tellme your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game! Hello, I love you Won't you tellme your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game! She's walking down the street Blind to ev'ry eye she meets Do you think you'll be the guy To make the queen of the angels sigh? 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 ihat begs for something sweet Do you hope tomake her see, you fool? Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel? Hello, hello Hello, hello Hello |
LIGHT MY FAIR |
|
You know that it would be untrue; You know that it 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. |
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 you're strange Faces come out of the rain When you're strange No one remembers your name When you're strange When you're strange When you're strange |
LOVE ME TWO TIMES |
|
Love me two times Baby Love me twice today Love me two times girl I'm goin' away Love me two times girl One for tomorrow, one just for today Love me two times I'm goin' away Love me one time Could not speak Love me one time Yeh my knees got weak Love me two times girl Last me all through the week Love me two times I'm goin' away |
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 on loan Riders on the storm There's a killer on the road His brain is squirming like a toad Take a long holiday Let your children play If you give this man a ride Sweet family will die Killer on the road Girl you gotta love your man Take him by the hand Make him understand The world on you depends Our life will never end Girl you gotta love your man |
BREAK ON THOUGH |
|
You know the day destroys the night Night devides 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 We chased our pleasures here Dug our treasures here Can you still recall the time we cried Everybody loves my baby Everybody loves my baby She gets high, she gets high, she gets high I found an island in your arms A country in your eyes Arms that chained us,eyes that lied Made the scene from week to week Day to day, hour to hour The gate is straight, deep and wide |
ROADHOUSE BLUES |
|
Keep your eyes on the road Keep your hands upon the wheel We're going to the Roadhouse Gonna have a real good time In back of Roadhouse, They got some bungalows That's for the people who like To go down slow Let it roll Let it roll, all night long Ashen Lady Forget your vows Save our city Right now Well, I woke up this morning I got myself a beer Cause the future's uncertain And the end is always near Let it roll... |
TOUCH ME |
|
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now Touch me babe Can't you see that iI am not afraid What was that promise that you made Why won't you tell me what she said What was that promise that she made I'm gonna love you Till the heaven stops the rain I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky For you and I |
L.A. WOMAN |
|
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago Took a look around, see which way wind blow Where the little girl in their Hollywood bunglows Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light? Or just another lost angel City of Night L.A.Woman L.A.Woman Sunday afternoon Drive thry your suburbs Into your blues Into your blue-blue Blues Into your blues I see your hair is burning Hills are filled with fire If they say I never lov'd you You know they are a liar Drivin' down your freeways Midnight alleys roam Cops in cars, the topless bars Never saw a woman - So alone So alone-lone Lone So alone Motel money murder madness Change the mood from glad to sadness Mr. Mojo Risin' Keep on risin' Got to keep on risin' Risin' risin' L.A.Woman She's my woman Little L.A.Woman L.A.Woman L.A.Woman c'mon |
LOVE HER MADLY |
|
Don't ya love her madly Don't ya need her badly Don't ya love her ways Tell me what you say Don't ya love her madly Wanna be her daddy Don't ya love her face Don't ya love her as she's walkin' out the door Like she did one thousand times before Don't ya love her ways Tell me what you say Don't ya love her as she's walkin' out the door All your love All your love All your love All your love All your love is gone So sing a lonely song Of a deep blue dream Seven horses seem to be on the mark Yeah, don't you love her Don't you love her as she's walkin' out the door All your love All your love All your love Yeah, all your love is gone So sing a lonely song Of a deep blue dream Seven horses seem to be on the mark Well, don't ya love her madly Don't ya love her madly Don't ya love her madly |
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 ----------------- 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 END |
|
Come on, turn the lights down. Turn 'em way down. Hey, mister light-man! You gotta turn those lights way down, man. Hey, I'm not kidding, you gotta turn the lights down. Come on! Ah, what a weekend! 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 Come on baby! We were in this house And there was a sound like Silverware being dropped on linoleum And then somebody ran through the room and they said: "Have you seen the accident outside?" And everybody said: "Hey man, have you seen the accident outside?" Have you seen the accident outside? Seven people took a ride Six bachelors and their bride Seven people took a ride Don't let me die in an automobile I wanna lie in an open field Want the snakes to suck my skin Want the worms to be my friends Want the birds to eat my eyes As here I lie The lords fly by Ode to a grasshopper I think I'll open a little shop A little place where they sell things And I think I'll call it "Grasshopper" I have a big green grasshopper out there Have you seen my grasshopper, mama? Looking real good... Oh oh, I blew it, it's a moth That's alright, he ain't got long to go, So we'll forgive him Ensenada the dog crucifix The dead seal Ghosts of the dead car's son Stop the car I'm getting out I can't take it Hey lookout there's somebody coming And there's nothing you can do about it The killer awoke before dawn He put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he... He walked on down the hall, babe Came to a door, he looked inside "Father?"-"Yes, son?"-"I want to kill you", Mother, I want to..." Fuck you, mama! All night long! Gonna love you, baby, all night, yeah! Come on, baby, take a chance with us Come on, baby, take a chance with us Come on, baby, take a chance with us Meet me at the back of the blue bus Meet me at the back of the blue bus Still now Blue rock Oh now Blue bus Still now Blue rock, gonna Uuh, come on! Wow! Wow! Kill! Wow! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend 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 |
