I figured I would compile all these songs together in text format, and share it with other users. For those who also admire The Doors and Jim Morrison's works, I highly recommend the book, it's worth the price. Below is a listing of all the albums covered, the songs on each album, and their respective author. There is a header at the top of each file naming the album it is found on, author, and the song name for convenience. Enjoy.

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 the room where his sister lived And then he paid a visit to his brother And then 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 This is the end, beautiful friend This is the

[Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: Strange Days -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strange days have found us Strange days have tracked us down They're goin' to destroy our casual joys We shall go on playing or finding a new town 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 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: Strange Days [Lyrics By]: Robby Krieger [Title....]: You're Lost, Little Girl

Nothin' left open And no time to decide We've stepped into a river On our moonlight drive Let's swim to the moon Let's climb thru the tide You reach a hand to hold me But I can't be your guide Easy to love you as I watch you glide Falling through wet forests On our moonlight drive Moonlight drive C'mon baby gonna take a little ride Down, down by the ocean side Gonna get real close Get real tight Baby gonna drown tonight Goin' down, down, down -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: Strange Days [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: People Are

There's been a slaughter here Don't stop to speak or look around Your gloves and 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! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: The Doors In Concert [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: 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 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 alone, not going very far To the east to meet the Czar Run with me, run with me, run with me Let's run Some outlaws live 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, yeah Sun, sun, sun Burn, burn, burn Moon, moon, moon I will get you soon...soon...soon! I am the Lizard King I can do everything -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: The Doors In Concert [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: The Celebration Of The Lizard: Names Of The Kingdom -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We came down the rivers and highways We came down from forests and falls We came down from Carson and Springfield We came down from Phoenix enthralled And 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: The Doors In Concert [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: The Celebration Of The Lizard: The Palace Of Exile -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For seven years I dwelt in the loose palace of exile Plaing strange games with the girls of the island Now I have come again to the land of the fair And the strong and the wise Brothers and sisters of the pale forest Children of the night Who among you will run with the hunt?

No eternal reward will forgive us now For wasting the dawn And one morning you awoke And the strange sun And opening your door... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: The Doors In Concert [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: The End -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come on, turn the lights out, man Turn it way down Hey Mister Lightman You gotta turn those lights way down, man! Hey, I'm not kidding, you gotta turn the lights out Come on! What do we care...? This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my ownly 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! And we were in this house and there was a sound like silverware being dropped on linoleum, and then somebody ran into 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 Sever people died 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 clouds 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, 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 sun Stop the card I'm getting out, I can't take it Hey, look out, 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 hallway, baby Came to a door He looked inside Father? Yes, son? I wanna kill you Mother...I want to... Fuck you, mama, all night long Beware, mama Gonna love you, baby, all night 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, Blue rock, Blue bus, Blue rock Blue bus. Kill! Kill! This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend, the end Hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft cries The end of nights we tried to die This is the end [Album: An American Prayer] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: An American Prayer [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: Awake Ghost Song -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is everybody in? Is everybody in? Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin WAKE UP Awake You can't remember where it was Had this dream stopped? 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 its quiet side And we laugh like soft, mad children Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy The music and the 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 [Dawn's Highway] Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding Ghosts crows the young child's fragile eggshell mind. Me and my--ah--mother and father--and a grandmother and a grandfather--were driving through the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian workers had either hit another car, or just--I don't know what happened--but there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death. So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time I tasted fear. I musta' been about four--like a child is like a flower, his head is just floating in the breeze, man. The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back--is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead Indiands...maybe one or two of 'em...where just running around freaking out, and just leaped into my soul. And they'er still in there. 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 ride, it's following me Indian, Indian what did you die for? Indian says, nothing at all. [Newborn Awakening] Gently they stir, gently rise The dead are newborn awakenings With ravaged limbs and wet souls Gently they sigh in rapt funeral amazement Who called 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 annouce sadness falling like burned skin I called you to wish you well To glory in self like a new monster And now I call on you to pray -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: An American Prayer [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: 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 an hour each day from the mountains The bus gives you a hard-on with books on 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 [Black Polished Chrome Latino Chrome] The music was new black polished chrome And came over the summer like liquid night The DJ's took pills to stay awake and play for seven days They went to the studio and someone knew him Someone knew the TV showman He came to our homeroom party and played records And when he left in the hot noon sun and walked to his car We saw the chooks had written F-U-C-K on his windshield He wiped it off with a white rag and smiling coolly drove away He's rich. Got a big car My gang will get you Scenes of rape in the arroyo Seductions in cars, abandoned buildings Fights at the food stand The dust The shoes Open shirts and raised collars Bright sculptured hair Hey man, you want girls, pills, grass? C'mon... I show you a good time. This place has everything. C'mon... I show you. [Angels And Sailors] Angels and sailors rich girls backyard fences tents Dreams watching each opther narrowly Soft luxuriant cars Girls in garages, stripped out to get liquor and clothes half gallons of wine and six-packs of beer Jumped, humped, born to suffer made to undress in the wilderness I will never treat you mean Never start no kind of scene I'll tell you every place and person that I've been Always a playground instructor, never a killer Always a bridesmaid on the verge of fame or over He maneuvered two girls into his hotel room One a friend, the other, the young one, a newer stranger Vaguely Mexican or Puerto Rican Poor boys thighs and buttocks scarred by a father's belt She's trying to rise Story of her boyfriend, of teenage stoned death games Handsome lad, dead in a car Confusion No connections Come'ere I love you Peace of earth Will you die for me? Eat me This way The end I'll always be true Never go out, sneaking out on you, babe If you'll only show me Far Arden again I'm surprised you could get it up He whips her lightly, sardonically, with belt Haven't I been through enough? she asks Now dressed and leaving The Spanish girl begins to bleed She says her period It's Catholic heaven I have an ancient Indian crucifix around my neck My chest is hard and brown Lying on stained, wretched sheets with a bleeding virgin We could plan a murder Or start a religion [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 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 her in the perimeter there are no stars Out here we is stoned Immaculate -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: An American Prayer [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: The Movie -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The move 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 And 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 the rest Did you have a good world when your 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 Where can I meet them? After you've eaten I'm not hungry Uh, we meant beaten Silver stream, silvery scream Oooooh, impossible concentration [Curses, Invocations] Curses, Invocations Weird bate-headed mongrels I keep expecting one of you to rise Large buxom obese queens Garden hogs and cunt veterans Quaint cabbage saints Shit hoarders and individialists Drag strip officials Tight lipped losers and Lustful fuck salesman My militant dandies All strange order of monsters Hot on the trail of the woodvine We welcome you to out procession Hewre come the Comedians Look at them smile Watch them dance an Indian mile Look at them gesture How aplomb So to gesture everyone Words dissemble Words be quick Words resemble walking sticks Plant them they will grow Watch them waver so I'll always be a word man Better than a bird man -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: An American Prayer [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: American Night -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All hail the American night!

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 [Lament] Lament for my cock Sore and crucified I seek to know you Acquiring soulful wisdom You can open walls of mystery Stripshow How to acquire death in the morning show TV death which the child absorbs Deathwell mystery which makes me write Slow train, the death of my cock gives life Forgive the poor old people who gave us entry Taught us god in the child's prayer in the night Guitar player Ancient wise satyr Sing your ode to my cock Caress its lament Stiffen and guide us, we frozen Lost cells The knowledge of cancer The speak to the heart And give the great gift Words Power Trance This stable friend and the beasts of his zoo Wild hairs chicks Women flowering in their summit Monsters of skin Each color connects to create the board which rocks the race Could any hell be more horrible than now and real? I pressed her thigh and death smiled Death, old friend Death and my cock are the world I can forgive my injuries in the name of Wisdom Luxury Romance Sentence upon sentence Words are healing lament For the death of my cock's spirit Has no meaning in the soft fire Words got me the wound and will get me well If you believe it All join now and lament for the death of my cock A tongue of knowledge in the feathered night Boys get crazy in the head and suffer I sacrifice my cock on the altar of silence [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 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... Tale 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Album....]: An American Prayer [Lyrics By]: Jim Morrison [Title....]: An American Prayer -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you know the warm progress under the stars? Do you know we exist? Have you forgotten the keys to the Kingdom Have you been borne yet and are you alive? Let's reinvent the gods, all the myths of the ages Celebrate symbols from deep elder forests [Have you forgoten the lessons of the ancient war] We need great golden copulations The fathers are cackling in trees of the forest Our mother is dead in the sea Do you know we are being led to slaughters by placid admirals And that fat slow generals are getting obscene on young blood Do you know we are ruled by TV The moon is a dry blood beast Guerilla bands are rolling numbers in the next block of green vine amassing for warfare on innocent herdmen who are just dying O great creator of being grant us one more hour to perform our art and perfect our lives The moths and atheists are doubly divine and dying We live, we die and death not ends it Journey we move into the Nightmare Cling to life Our passion'd flower Cling to cunts and cocks of despair We got our final vision by clap Columbus' groin got filled with green death (I touched her thigh and death smiled) 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 (When the true King's murderers are allowed to roam free a thousand Magicians arise in the land) When are the feasts we were promissed Where is the wine The New Wine (dying on the vine) resident mockery give us an hour for magic We of the purple glove We of the starling flight and velvet hour We of arabic pleasure's breed We of sundome and the night Give us a creed To believe A night of Lust Give us trust in The Night Give of color Hundred hues a rich mandala For me and you And for your silky pillowed house A head, wisdom And a bed Troubled decree Resident mockery has claimed thee We used to believe In the good old days We still receive In little ways The Things of Kindness And unsporting brow Forget and allow Did you know freedom exists in a school book Did you know madmen are roaming our prison within a jail, within a gaol within a white free protestant maelstrom We're perched headlong on the edge of boredom We're reaching for death on the end of a candle We're trying for something that's already found us We can invent Kingdoms of our own grand purple thrones, those chairs of lust and love we must, in beds of rust Steel doors lock in prisoner's screams and muzak, AM, rocks their dreams No black men's pride to hoist the beams while mocking angels sift what seems To be a collage of magazine dust Scratched on foreheads of walls of trust This is just jail for those who must get up in the morning and fight for such unusable standards while weeping maidens show-off penury and pout ravings for a mad staff Wow, I'm sick of doubt Live in the light of certain South Cruel bindings The servants have the power dog-men and their mean women pulling poor blankets over our sailors (And where were you in our lean hour) Milking your moustache or grinding a flower? I'm sick of dour faces Staring at me from the TV Tower, I want roses in my garden bower; dig? Royal babies, rubies must now replace aborted Strangers in the mud These mutants, blood-meal for the plant that's plowed They are waiting to take us into the severed garden Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful comes death on a strange hour unannouced, unplanned for like a scaring over-friendly guest you've brought to bed Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as raven's claws No more money, no more fancy dress This other Kingdom seems by far the best until its other jaw reveals incest and loose obedience to a vegetable law I will not go Prefer a Feast of Friends To the Giant Family ========================================================================= Call these fine [Underground eXperts United] affiliated systems ========================================================================= The Stash +46-13-175042 uXu Home Sedes Diaboli +46-586-43766 uXu Information Node Condemned Reality (618)397-7702 uXu Main US Site Demon Roach Underground (806)794-4362 uXu Inlet Ripco ][ (312)528-5020 uXu Support / Inlet / Outlet Solsbury Hill (301)428-3268 uXu Support / Inlet / Outlet ========================================================================= _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________
