Soul Kitchen
The Doors Lyrics
Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves (yeah)
Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I know I have to go now
I really wanna stay here
All night, all night, all night

Been listening to The Doors since 10 i am 27 now , back as a teen i was literaly obsessed with the doors, psychedelic rock is so great
Spencer Tucker
Same age as Jim Morrison when he died

Totally understand your obsession, when I was 19, I was a bit dissallusioned with music and discovered The Doors, and became completely obsessed, including a vist to JM's grave 8 years later. About to hit 57

And, on another note, Jim left us when he was 27 as Janis, Jimmy and many others.
Love music, enhance your culture but step aside of substances. Fair warning :)

I suppose you know who David Lee Roth is. Van Halen singer, solo career, a great talent. No, he has no voice, we know Joe Cocker and Rod Stewart to name a few, but a great vocal chilling timbre.
Florin Postolache
Dude you have your whole life ahead. Listen to pillars of rock as are Doors. You are on the good track already.
I suggest David Lee Roth cover of "Soul Kitchen". You can find it easily on Youtube. Another perspective. Hope this helps somehow ;)
