Song Lyrics

Well I'll tell you a story of whiskey and mystics and men
And about the believers, and how the whole thing began

First there were women and children obeying the moon
Da da da
Then daylight brought wisdom and fever and sickness too soon
Da da da

You can try to remind me instead of the other you can (da da da)
You can help to insure that we all insecure our command (da da da)
If you don't give a listen, I won't try to tell your new hand (da da da)
This is it, can't you see that we all have our ends in the band? (da da da)

Da da da
Da da da

And if all of the teachers and preachers of wealth were arraigned
We could see quite a future for me in the literal sands

And if all of the people could claim to inspect such regret (da da da)
Well, we'd have no forgiveness, forgetfulness, faithful remorse (da da da)
So, I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must send away (da da da)
We must try to find a new answer instead of a way

Jim Morrison, John Paul Densmore, Raymond D Manzarek, Robby A Krieger
