Doors - Celebration Of The Lizard Lyrics
Lions in the street and roamingDogs in heat, rabid, foamingA beast caged in the heart of a cityThe body of his motherRotting in the summer groundHe fled the townHe went down South and crossed the borderLeft the chaos and disorderBack there over his shoulderOne morning he awoke in a green hotelWith a strange creature groaning beside himSweat oozed from its shiny skinIs everybody in?The ceremony is about to beginWake up!You can't remember where it wasHad this dream stopped?The snake was pale goldGlazed and shrunkenWe were afraid to touch itThe sheets were hot dead prisonsNow, run to the mirror in the bathroomLook!I can't live thru each slow century of her movingI let my cheek slide downThe cool smooth tileFeel the good cold stinging bloodThe smooth hissing snakes of rain . . .Once I had, a little gameI liked to crawl back into my brainI think you know the game I meanI mean the game called 'go insane'Now you should try this little gameJust close your eyes forget your nameForget the world forget the peopleAnd we'll erect a different steepleThis little game is fun to doJust close your eyes no way to loseAnd I'm right there I'm going tooRelease control we're breaking thruWay back deep into the brainBack where there's never any painAnd the rain falls gently on the townAnd in the labyrinth of streamsBeneath, the quiet unearthly presence ofNervous hill dwellers in the gentle hills aroundReptiles aboundingFossils, caves, cool air heightsEach house repeats a moldWindows rolledBeast car locked
