Doors - The Soft Parade lyrics
When I was back there in seminary school, there was a person there<br>Who put forth the proposition, that you can petition the lord with prayer<br>Petition the lord with prayer, petition the lord with prayer<br>You cannot petition the lord with prayer!<br>Can you give me sanctuary, I must find a place to hide, a place for me to hide<br>Can you find me soft asylum, I can't make it anymore, the man is at the door<br>Peppermint, miniskirts, chocolate candy, champion sax and a girl named sandy<br>There's only four ways to get unraveled, one is to sleep and the other is travel, da da<br>One is a bandit up in the hills, one is to love your neighbor 'till<br>His wife gets home<br>Catacombs, nursery bones, winter women, growing stones<br>Carrying babies, to the river<br>Streets and shoes, avenues, leather riders<br>Selling news, the monk bought lunch<br>Ha ha, he bought a little, yes, he did, woo!<br>This is the best part of the trip, this is the trip, the best part<br>I really like, what'd he say? , yeah!, yeah, right!<br>Pretty good, huh, huh!, yeah, I'm proud to be a part of this number<br>Successful hills are here to stay, everything must be this way<br>Gentle streets where people play, welcome to the soft parade<br>All our lives we sweat and save, building for a shallow grave<br>Must be something else we say, somehow to defend this place<br>Everything must be this way, everything must be this way, yeah<br>The soft parade has now begun, listen to the engines hum<br>People out to have some fun, a cobra on my left<br>Leopard on my right, yeah<br>The deer woman in a silk dress, girls with beads around their necks<br>Kiss the hunter of the green vest, who has wrestled before<br>With lions in the night<br>Out of sight!, the lights are getting brighter<br>The radio is moaning, calling to the dogs<br>There are still a few animals, left out in the yard<br>But it's getting harder, to describe sailors, to the underfed<br>Tropic corridor, tropic treasure<br>What got us this far, to this mild equator? <br>We need someone or something new<br>Something else to get us through, yeah, c'mon<br>Callin' on the dogs, callin' on the dogs<br>Oh, it's gettin' harder, callin' on the dogs<br>Callin' in the dogs, callin' all the dogs, callin' on the gods<br>You gotta meet me, too late, baby<br>Slay a few animals, at the crossroads, too late<br>All in the yard, but it's gettin' harder, by the crossroads<br>You gotta meet me, oh, we're goin', we're goin great<br>At the edge of town, tropic corridor, tropic treasure<br>Havin' a good time, got to come along, what got us this far<br>To this mild equator? , outskirts of the city, you and i<br>We need someone new, somethin' new, somethin' else to get us through<br>Better bring your gun, better bring your gun<br>Tropic corridor, tropic treasure, we're gonna ride and have some fun<br>When all else fails, we can whip the horse's eyes<br>And make them sleep, and cry
