🎶[The Soft Parade (The Doors)] 🎶

 

When I was back there in seminary school

There was a person there

Who put forth the proposition

That you can petition the Lord with prayer

Petition the Lord with prayer

Petition the Lord with prayer

You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!

 

Can you give me sanctuary

I must find a place to hide

A place for me to hide

 

Can you find me soft asylum

I can't make it anymore

The Man is at the door

 

Peppermint, miniskirts, chocolate candy

Champion sax and a girl named Sandy

There's only four ways to get unraveled

One is to sleep and the other is travel, da da

One is a bandit up in the hills

One is to love your neighbor 'til

His wife gets home

 

Catacombs

Nursery bones

Winter women

Growing stones

Carrying babies

To the river

 

Streets and shoes

Avenues

Letter writers

Selling news

The monk bought lunch

 

Ha ha, he bought a little

Yes, he did

Woo!

This is the best part of the trip

This is the trip, the best part

I really like

What'd he say?

Yeah!

Yeah, right!

Pretty good, huh

Huh!

Yeah, I'm proud to be a part of this number

 

Successful hills are here to stay

Everything must be this way

Gentle streets where people play

Welcome to the Soft Parade

 

All our lives we sweat and save

Building for a shallow grave

Must be something else we say

Somehow to defend this place

Everything must be this way

Everything must be this way, yeah

 

The Soft Parade has now begun

Listen to the engines hum

People out to have some fun

A cobra on my left

Leopard on my right, yeah

 

The deer woman in a silk dress

Girls with beads around their necks

Kiss the hunter of the green vest

Who has wrestled before

With lions in the night

 

Out of sight!

The lights are getting brighter

The radio is moaning

Calling to the dogs

There are still a few animals

Left out in the yard

But it's getting harder

To describe sailors

To the underfed

 

Tropic corridor

Tropic treasure

What got us this far

To this mild equator?

 

We need someone or something new

Something else to get us through, yeah, come on

 

Calling on the dogs

Calling on the dogs

Oh, it's getting harder

Calling on the dogs

Calling in the dogs

Calling all the dogs

Calling on the gods

 

You got to meet me

Too late, baby

Slay a few animals

At the crossroads

Too late

All in the yard

But it's getting harder

By the crossroads

You got to meet me

Oh, we're going, we're going great

At the edge of town

Tropic corridor

Tropic treasure

Having a good time

Got to come along

What got us this far

To this mild equator?

Outskirts of the city

You and I

We need someone new

Something new

Something else to get us through

Better bring your gun

Better bring your gun

Tropic corridor

Tropic treasure

We're going to ride and have some fun

 

When all else fails

We can whip the horse's eyes

And make them sleep

And cry

Buckle up Buttercup!

 

"Party of Law & Order".... My Ass

 

Let's close CDC public access, because who needs to know about the shit that kills you.

 

Who in the hell thought giving the keys to the treasury to a billionaire man child and his little incel posse was a good idea?!?!

 

Fuck Putin & his Orange Bitch 🌻💙💛🌻

 

Just a reminder, a "Tariff" is in fact tax on all consumers no matter who you voted for. I like Tequila 🇲🇽 & Maple Syrup 🇨🇦

 

How's your 401k doing? Because mine is sucking the spiny cock of Satin ATM

 

Real pro move to close the Department of Education, because who wants a educated population.

 

Can you kind people give me a minute please, I am on a secret government war plan unsecured text chain.
