Ghost Song Songtext
von Jim Morrison

Awake, shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one
Choose the day and choose the sign of your day
The day′s divinity, first thing you see

A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by its quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us

Choose they croon the Ancient Ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake

Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream, come with us
Everything is broken up and dances


Indians scattered
On dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child′s
Fragile eggshell mind

We have assembled inside this ancient and insane theater
To propagate our lust for life
And flee the swarming wisdom of the streets

The barns have stormed, the windows kept
And only one of all the rest to dance and save us
From the divine mockery of words
Music inflames temperament

Oh, great creator of being
Grant us one more hour to perform our art
And perfect our lives
We need great golden copulations

When the true kings murderers
Are allowed to roam free
A thousand magicians arise in the land
Where are the feasts we are promised?
