Absolutely Live 1970

HOUSE ANNOUNCER

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 happene 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?

WHO DO YOU LOVE

I walked 47 miles on barbed-wire,
Got a cobra-snake for a necktie.
I built a house by the roadside,
Made of rattlesnake hide.

Got a brand new chimney up on top,
Made out of human skulls.
Come on baby take a walk with me,
And tell me who do you love?

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Tombstone head and a graveyard mind,
I'm just 22 and I don't mind dying.
Rode around the town with a rattlesnake whip,
Come on baby don't give me no lip.

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

The night is dark, the sky was blue,
Down the alley the ice wagon flew.
Hit a bump, somebody screamed,
You should'a heard just what I seen.

Who, baby, who do you love?
What do you love, now?

Love, love, love me girl.
Love, love, love me darling.

ALABAMA SONG (WHISKEY BAR)

Well, show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find
The next whiskey bar
Tell you we must die
Tell you we must die
Tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why

BACKDOOR MAN

Woaaaaaaoh!
Yaaoh! Sir! All right!
Oh right! Okey! Oh right!
Oh yeah! Oh right! Oh yeah!

Backdoor man
Men don't know
Little girl understand
Well, all you people tryin' to sleep
Out to make it, midnight dream, yeah
Backdoor man
Men don't know
Little girl understand
All right, yeah, oh

LOVE HIDES

Love hides in the strangest places
Love hides in familiar faces
Love comes when you least expect it
Love hides in narrow corners
Love comes for those who seek it
Love hides inside the rainbow, yeah
Love hides in molecular structures, yeah
Love is the answer

FIVE TO ONE

Five to one, baby
One in five
No one here gets out alive, now
You get yours, baby
I'll get mine
Gonna make it, baby
If we try, yeah
The old get old
And the young get stronger
May take a week
And it may take longer
They got the guns
But we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah
We're takin' over
Come on!
Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful dimes
Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!
Gotta, get together, gotta, get together
Gotta, get together, gotta, get together
Gotta, aoouuuh!
Get together
We've gotta get it all together
Get the whole thing together, babe
I tell you we gotta get it all together
One more time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pretty neat, pretty neat.
Pretty good, pretty good.
All right.

BUILD ME A WOMAN

Give me a witness, darling
I need a witness, babe

I got the poon-tang blues
I got the poon-tang blues
Top of my head down to the bottom of my cowboy shoes alright

Build me a woman, make her ten feet tall
You gotta build me a woman, make her ten feet tall
Don't make her ugly, don't make her...oh, small

You gotta build me a woman, make her ten feet tall
Build me a woman, make her ten feet tall
Don't maker her ugly, don't make her small
Build me someone I can ball all...night long

UNIVERSAL MIND

I was doing time in the universal mind
I was feeling fince
I was turning keys, I was setting people free
I was doing alright

Then you came along with a suitcase and a song
Turned my head around
Now I'm so alone, just looking for a home in every face I see
I'm the freedom man, I'm the freedom man
I'm the freedom man, that's how lucky I am

I was doing time in the universal mind
I was feeling fince
I was turning keys, I was setting people free
I was doing alright

Then you came along with a suitcase and a song
Turned my head around
Now I'm so alone, just looking for a home in every face I see
I'm the freedom man

I was doing time in the universal mind
I was feeling fince
I was turning keys, I was setting people free
I was doing alright

Then you came along with a suitcase and a song
Turned my head around
Now I'm so alone, just looking for a home in every face I see
I'm the freedom man, yeah, that's how lucky I am
I'm the freedom man, I'm the freedom man

PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER

When I was back there in seminary school
There was a person there who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the Lord with prayer

DEAD CATS; DEAD RATS

Dead cats, dead rats, did you see what they were at, alright
Dead cat in a top hat

Sucking on a young man's blood
Wishing he could come, yeah
Sucking on a soldier's brain
Wishing it would be the same

Dead cat, dead rat, did you see what they were at
Fat cat in a top hat
Thinks he's an aristocrat
Thinks he can kill and slaughter
Thinks he can shoot my daughter

Dead cats, dead rats, think you're an aristocrat
Crap...ha, that's crap

BREAK ON THROUGH # 2

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run, tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side

Chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
Can you still recall the time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get high
She get high
She get high
I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us, eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, yeah...alright

Yeah, made the scene week to week
Day to day, hour to hour
The gate is straight, deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side

Break on through, break on through
Break on through, break on through
