The Doors - Lions In The Street Lyrics

Artist: The Doors

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: John Densmore, Robbie Krieger, Ray Manzarek, Jim Morrison

Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city

The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town

He went down South and crossed the border
Left the chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder

One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin

Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin
