The Doors - When The Music's Over

The Doors Live In Copenhagen 1968

Yeah, c'mon

When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights, yeah

When the music's over
When the music's over
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end

Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
Send my credentials to the House of Detention
I got some friends inside

The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends
"Alive!" she cried
Waitin' for me
Outside!

Before I sink
Into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly

Come back, baby
Back into my arm
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground

I hear a very gentle sound
Very near yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it...
We want the world and we want it...
Now
Now?
Now!

Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!

So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

Well the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end!

For Ray the music is over. The song still brings shivers. Ray died here in Germany, strange feeling that is. His left hand monotonous "bass playing" plus the guitarist strict avoiding of pentatonic routine scales brought the very very unique sound of the band that once was "The Doors", one of the finest bands that ever graced the earth. R.I.P. Ray Manzarek.

The Doors could not have worked without any of them. If they had lost Robby, Ray or John in 71' instead of Jim, it still wouldn't have been The Doors. They all have such personality in the way they play and each member is absolutely irreplaceable. One of the greatest and most unique bands that ever played. Just a shame I never got to see them. A shame I never got to see Ray. I feel his death to my core. He changed my life and I'll never forget him.

Go headbang to some Slayer and mosh around in a circle with your boyfriends, cupcake. "METAL!!! DURRR!!! \m/ " haha that's you.
