The Doors- Strange Days

1. Strange Days
 
They follow us with their
Pulsating, acid blotched pupils
Through the haziest days
Into the dreamiest nights
Seeking strange days
 
2. You're Lost Little Girl
 
She awoke to a stripped bed
Box fan whirring
Cooling afternoon sweat against her
Last night's memories a fuzzed blur
That wouldn't return to those lost
 
3. Love Me Two Times
 
I loved you yesterday and today
I'll love you more tomorrow
I can't get enough  
Of your blushing brilliance
Brightening  my beleaguered soul
 
4. Unhappy Girl
 
You danced the waltz
With the devil
And now you're paying your dues
All alone
An unhappy girl
 
5. Horse latitudes
 
When the storm struck
The sailors were in panic
They were taking on water
And had to abandon their cargo
Sadly, the horses had to go
 
6. Moonlight Drive
 
We jumped into the convertible
Driving down the beach highway
The breeze blew warmly off the sea
And the moonlight lit our way
With it's shimmering reflection
 
7. People Are Strange
 
I watched the mime dance
Pretend he was in a box
Lift invisible weights
Play tug of war with himself
And thought people are strange
 
8. My Eyes Have Seen You
 
I walked the streets
With hollow, useless eyes
Then you walked by and time stopped
My vacant eyes came alive
Because they saw you
 
9. I Can't See Your Face In My Mind
 
You disappeared to the east coast  
And though we were one soul
We are no more
Now I'm lost
I can't see your face in my mind
 
10. When The Music's Over
 
Life goes on each and every day
Melodies passing the time
With each and every rhyme
But when the music's over
We've burnt out our lives
