    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
    Come on along, not goin' very far
    To the East to meet the Czar

    Run with me
    Run with me
    Run with me
    Let's run

    Whoa!

    Some outlaws lived 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

    Ya, c'mon!

    We should see the gates by mornin'
    We should be inside the evenin'

    Sun, sun, sun
    Burn, burn, burn
    Soon, soon, soon
    Moon, moon, moon
    I will get you
    Soon!
    Soon!
    Soon!

    I am the Lizard King
    I can do anything

    I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.

    Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
    Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

    Well the music is your special friend
    Dance on fire as it intends
    Music is your only friend
    Until the end
    Until the end
    Until the end!

    Sometimes I see a homeless person and I am momentarily convinced that it is Jim Morrison.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    The movie 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
    As we seated and were darkened, the voice continued.

    The program for this evening is not new
    Youve seen this entertainment through and through
    Youve seen your birth your life and death
    You might recall all of the rest
    Did you have a good world when you died?
    Enough to base a movie on?


    happy (shared) birthday, Jim! :D

    I might be wrong but I believe Jim lifted this directly from Rimbaud. unless you were quoting Rimbaud...
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
