Doors, The Lyrics for Song: Dawn's Highway
 Lyrics for Album: An American Prayer
 
 
 
 18616>Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
 
 Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.
 
 Me and my -ah- mother and father - and a
 
 grandmother and a grandfather - were driving through
 
 the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian
 
 workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't
 
 know what happened - but there were Indians scattered
 
 all over the highway, bleeding to death.
 
 So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time
 
 I tasted fear. I musta' been about four - like a child is
 
 like a flower, his head is just floating in the
 
 breeze, man.
 
 The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking
 
 back - is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead
 
 Indians...maybe one or two of 'em...were just
 
 running around freaking out, and just leaped into my
 
 soul. And they're still in there.
 
 Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
 
 Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.
 
 Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
 
 Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
 
 Blood in my love in the terrible summer
 
 Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.
 
 Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
 
 Blood will be born in the birth if a nation
 
 Blood is the rose of mysterious union
 
 Blood on the rise, it's following me.
 
 Indian, Indian what did you die for?
 
 Indian says, nothing at all.
