Break On Through To The Other Side [Live] lyrics

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!

You cannot petition the lord with prayer!

Dead cats, dead rats

Did you see what they were at, alright

Dead cat in a top hat, woo!

Suckin on a young man's blood

Wishing he could come, yeah

Suckin 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

Oh yeah, alright, hey

Dead cats, dead rats, think you're an aristocrat

Crap, that's crap

You know the day destroys the night

Night divides the day

Tried to run

Tried to hide

Break on through to the other side

We chased our pleasures here

Dug our treasures there

Still recall the time we cried

Break on through to the other side

Woo!

Everybody loves my baby

Everybody loves my baby

She gets! She gets! (x2)

She gets high, she gets high

My woman gets high, my woman gets high

My baby gets high, my baby gets high (etc)

I found an island in your arms

Country in your eyes

Arms that chain

Eyes that lie

Break on through to the other side

Break on through to the other side

Break on through, yeah, alright

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
