Soul Kitchen
The Doors Lyrics

Warm my mind near your gentle stove
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

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
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
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

Well the clock says it's time to close now
I know I have to go now
I really want to stay here
All night, all night, all night

was REALLY into these guys when I was much younger than let go of them for a long time. This coming January will be 50 years since there first album was released. Vaguely remember when Morrison died when I was a kid. Kruger and Manzarek came to my tiny town 7 years ago as Riders on the Storm. Population here is 22k, but 30k showed up for the show! Frankly, they were incredibly AWESOME!! Glad I got to see them. RIP Ray.

I remember my high school buddy had invited me over to his house. "My parents are having a party and said I could invite some friends too!" I enter in the front door of their farm house and there's a haze as the bong was lit. The opening of Soul Kitchen is forever embedded in this memory as this song had just started playing on the turn table.

Gold Standard. Never knew the lyrics. Heard the song 50 years ago and went out and robbed a bank. The [Village] Voice noted its wicked 1-2-1 beat. Excruciating ejaculatory expertise. Today we are left with mass-produced generic electronics a/k/a "muse-ic."

"Well, look at us. We’re incredible. I guess I mean people who ride motorcycles and have fast cars and interesting clothes, who are saying things, expressing themselves honestly. Young people. Yeh, it seems romantic to me. I’m pleased to be alive at this time. It’s incredible. I think we’re going to look very good to future people, because so many changes are taking place and we’re really handling it with a flair" - what Jim said about his time. Pretty much damn right about this and many other things. If you haven't, try and listen to a lot of his interviews. A man worth listening to ...

"One day it started raining, and it
didn't quit for four months.
We been through every kind of rain,

and big ol' fat rain,
Rain that flew in sideways,
And sometimes rain even seemed to
come straight up from underneath..."

Learn to forget is probably one of the most profound phrases to make it into rock n' roll. Rush has nothing on the perceptual constraints imposed by language and linguistics. Sit under a starry sky, wander the streets at night without saying a word to anybody, and just forget. You'll see how strange and odd and exciting the world around you is.
