The Doors - Celebration Of The Lizard ( An Experiment/work In Progress Bonus) lyrics

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 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 it's shining skin
Is everybody in? Is everybody in?
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin wake up!
You can't remember where it was
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold, glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisms
And she was beside me old, she's no, young


Her dark red hair, the white soft skin
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
Look! she's coming in here
I can't live through 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 in my brain
I think you know, the game I mean
I mean the game, called, 'Go insane'
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 over the heads of all of us
And in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
Gentle 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 Lying 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 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
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
C'mon along, we're 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 lived by the side of the 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 should see the gates by mornin'
We should be inside by evening sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn burn, burn, burn
I will get you soon, soon, soon
I am the lizard king i can do anything
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
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 and
The strong and the wise
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
Children of night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready
