The Doors Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All right, wait a second.
We have a long show, we have a hell of a show for you. A beautiful thing.
All right, now look, look, we've...we've seen a lot of things happened in the city,
and everything's turned around. Everything's beautiful.
Nobody thought we'd be able to bring the Doors here, and we did.
But we've got a couple of thi... Wait a second man!
Look, we've just got a couple of little things that we've gotta tell you about.
The fire-marshal is not gonna let this show go on,
and I just had a long meeting with him, and man,
this is no joke, you either gotta sit down, and you gotta go back to your seats,
you gotta make isles, and that's it man. You gotta move back.
Hey look! Hey look!
Wait a second, hold on! Let's have a little help, man.
Come on, everybody go back to their seats. People are gonna get hurt up here,
they're gonna pass out.
Now we don't want that man, and the Doors don't want that either.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Doors!
Now hold it, we've gotta tune up.
Hey Philadelphia!
Do you feel all right?
