Soul Kitchen

The Doors · The Doors [1967]

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 shed their a-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 grove



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 grove

Yeah, hey, hey



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
