Lyrics: Morrison Hotel


Roadhouse blues

Keep your eyes on the road your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're goin' to the Roadhouse
We're gonna have a real
Good time

Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
Yeah, back at the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
And that's for the people
Who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Do it, honey, do it

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta thrill my soul all right
Roll roll roll
Thrill my soul
You gotta beep a gunk a chucha
Honk konk konk
You gotta each you puna
Each ya bop a luba
Each yall bump a kechonk
Ease sum konk
Ya, ride

Ashen lady Ashen lady
Give up your vows give up your vows
Save our city save our city
Right now

Well I woke up this morning I got myself a beer
Well I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Waiting for the sun

At first flash of Eden we raced down to the sea Standing there on freedom's shore Waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun waiting for the sun Can't you feel it, now that spring has come That it's time to live in the scattered sun Waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun Waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting for you to come along Waiting for you to hear my song Waiting for you to come along Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong This is the strangest life I've ever known

You make me real

CHORUS: I really want you really do Really need you, baby, God knows I do 'Cause I'm not real enough without you Oh, what can I do? You make me real, you make me feel like lovers feel You make me throw away mistaken misery Make me free love make me free CHORUS You make me real, only you have that appeal So let me slide in your tender sunken sea Make me free love make me free

Peace frog

There's blood in the streets it's up to my ankles (She came) There's blood on the streets it's up to my knee (She came) Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago (She came) Blood on the rise it's following me Think about the break of day She came and then she drove away Sunlight in her hair (She came) Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness (She came) Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh (She came) Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city (She came) The women are crying rivers of weepin' She came into town and then she drove away Sunlight in her hair 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 the pain as they chop off her fingers Blood will be born in the birth of a nation Blood is the rose of mysterious union There's blood in the streets it's up to my ankles Blood in the streets it's up to my knee Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago Blood on the rise it's following me

Blue sunday

I found my own true love was on a blue sunday She looked at me and told me I was the only One in the world. Now I have found my girl My girl awaits for me in tender times My girl is mine She is the world She is my girl La, la, la, la My girl awaits for me in tender times My girl is mine She is the world She is my girl

Ship of fools

The human race was dying out No-one left to scream and shout People walking on the moon Smog will get you pretty soon Ev'ryone was hangin' out Hangin' up and hangin' down Hangin' in and holdin' fast Hope our little world will last Yeah, Along came Mister Goodtrips Looking for a new ship Come on, people, better climb on board Come on, baby, now we're going home Ship of fools, ship of fools Smog will get you pretty soon

Land ho!

Grandma loved a sailor Who sailed the frozen sea Grandpa was the whaler And he took me on his knee He said, "Son, I'm going crazy From livin' on the land Got to find my shipmates And walk on foreign sands This old man was graceful With silver in his smile He smoked a briar pipe and He walked four country miles Singing songs of shady sisters And old time liberty Songs of love and songs of death And songs to set men free Yeah! I've got three ships and sixteen men A course for ports unread I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow Till half of us are dead Land ho! Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill If I get my hands on a number five Gonna skin that litle girl alive If I get my hand on a number two Come back home and marry you marry you, marry you Alright! Land ho!

The spy

I'm the spy in the house of Love I know the dream that you're dreamin' of I know the word that you long to hear I know your deepest secret fear I know ev'rything Ev'rything you do Ev'rywhere you go Ev'ryone you know I'm a spy, I know your deepest secret fear I know your deepest secret, I'm a spy I can see what you do And I know I'm the spy in the house of Love I know the dream that you're dreamin' of I know the word that you long to hear I know your deepest secret fear

Queen of the Highway

She was a princess Queen of the Highway Sign on the road said Take us to Madre No one could save her save the blind tiger He was a monster black dressed in leather She was a princess Queen of the Highway Now they are wedded she is a good girl Naked as children out in a meadow Naked as children wild as can be Soon to have offspring start it all over Start at all over American boy, American girl Most beautiful people in the world Son of a frontier Indian Swirl Dancing through the midnight whirl-pool Formless hope it can continue a little while longer

Indian summer

I love you the best Better than all the rest I love you the best Better than all the rest That I meet in the summer Indian summer That I meet in the summer Indian summer
