4 Billion Souls
(Krieger)

Verdilac
(Krieger/Manzarek)

Hardwood Floor

Good Rockin'
(Brown)

The Mosquito
(Krieger/Densmore/Manzarek)

The Piano Bird

It Slipped My Mind
(Krieger)

The Peking King and New York Queen
(Manzarek)


Z pohledu Raye, Johna a Robbieho nepříliš povedená deska, jejíž neúspěch byl jedním z důvodů pro rozpuštění kapely.
Singl The Mosquito skončil hluboko v druhé stovce žebříčku hudebních nahrávek Billboard. Přesto si myslím, že kluci odvedli dobrou práci, měli to holt bez Jima těžké.


Get Up And Dance


Oh people get up and dance
The new day's comin', it's the end of the trance
No need to worry, no need to hide
Ev'rybody is on the same side

Oh people, get up and dance
The future's ours if we just take a chance
No need to hurry or no time to waste
The year two thousand is the cut-off date

Oh people, get up and dance
Like one long electric beam
It's the old crystal Alice dream

Oh people, get up and dance
The new day's comin', it's the end of the trance
The future's ours if we just take a chance
So come on people get up and dance

Yeah, get up and dance
Come on, let's get up and dance
Golden days, get up and dance
We'll have diamond nights

Get up and dance
We got sweet light shining
Get up and dance

Golden days, get up and dance
We'll have diamond nights, get up and dance
Come on people, get up and dance

Come on, get up and dance
Let's dance, get up and dance



4 Billion Souls


One, two, three, four billion souls are gonna rest
If all our friends don't try their best

To change the way this world is headed for
We can find our happiness, it ain't so hard to find

But look a little further up the line
Just a little further up in time

Don't you see that we could be the first in history
Leavin' all that we don't need behind
We could clean it up and make it shine



Verdilac


I'm gonna hang on your neck just like a verdilac
Take you for a ride in my Cadillac
Well I tried and I tried but I can't make you understand
Baby can't you see I'm more than just a man

If you don't bring my coffee in my favorite cup
You're gonna make it necessary for me to conjure up

Spirits, spirits

I'm gonna hang on your neck just like a verdilac
Take you for a ride in my Cadillac
Well I tried and I tried but I can't make you understand
Baby can't you see I'm more than just a man

If you don't bring my coffee in my favorite cup
You're gonna make it necessary for me to conjure up

Spirits, spirits
Spirits, spirits



Hardwood Floor


Go and tell your daddy that we need some dough
We're gonna get married down in Mexico

We got love don't need no more
But all we got to live on is a hardwood floor
You know, all we got to live on is a hardwood floor

We got love don't need no more
But all we got to live on is this hardwood floor
All we got to live on is this hardwood floor
All we got to live on, all we got to live on
All we got to live on is this hardwood floor
Like I said before

Well I had a lot of money 'bout a year ago
Spent all my money on a rock and roll show
I got a lot to tell you, got nothing to show

All we got to live on is this hardwood floor
On this hardwood floor
Oh, oh, on this hardwood floor
Well I went to see your daddy but he sure got sore

He said you ought to be out there fightin' the war
I asked him for some money, he said what for
I told him all we got to live on is a hardwood floor
You know, all we got to live on is a hardwood floor
We got love, don't need no more

All we got to live on is a hardwood floor
On a hardwood floor, on this hardwood floor
All we got to live on is a hardwood floor

The Mosquito


No me moleste mosquito
No me moleste mosquito
No me moleste mosquito

Why don't you go home

No me moleste mosquito
Let me eat my burrito
No me moleste mosquito
Why don't you go home



The Piano Bird


A bird sings outside my piano
Lark of sweet love singing low
The more I play, the more he sings
He lives right up there in the green trees

Singing to me melodies
And in return I play for him
I played him a song on my piano

Well I played real good
And I played what I could
And in return, he sang for me

He lives right out there in the tree
Giving me his melodies
A bird sings outside my piano

Well I played real good
And I played what I could
And in return, he sang for me

He lives right out there in the tree
Giving me his melodies
A bird sings outside my piano

A bird sings outside my piano
Lark of sweet love singing low
He lives right up there in the green tree

Singing to me melodies
The more I play, the more he sings
A bird sings outside my piano



It Slipped My Mind


You know, it just done slipped my mind
It just done slipped my mind
It's just so hard to find
It just done slipped my mind

I left my body somewhere down the line
It's just so easy to lose track of time
It just done slipped my mind
It just done slipped my mind
It wouldn't matter, but it's time to meditate

You know, it just done slipped my mind
My memory's unrefined
They must have spiked my wine
Because it just done slipped my mind

My mind and body are still out of tune
I hope they run into each other real soon
It just done slipped my mind
It just done slipped my mind
I wouldn't mind, but it's cold here on the moon
It just done slipped my mind.

You now, it just done slipped my mind
My memory's unrefined
It just done slipped my mind

You know, they must have spiked my wine
My mind and body are still out of tune
I hope they run into each other real soon

Because it just done slipped my mind
It just done slipped my mind



The Peking King And New York Queen


Well, I heard a story you can judge it's worth
About the sun and the moon
This time they came down to earth

They passed in the heavens each day up above
Time after time and it soon became love

They could not touch, they could not kiss
They had no flesh, no earthly bliss

So they made a scheme, they made a plan
They would come down to earth as a woman and a man
She rode a lunar wave, he flew a solar beam
They took on human forms to live out a dream
The most beautiful people that I've ever seen
They were the Peking King and the New York Queen
I said the Peking King and the New York Queen.

As fate would have it in the toss of the dice
They went to opposite ends of this world of our lives
Opposite eyes, opposite minds
Such things matter in these troubled times.

Peking in the East and New York in the West
Each place thought that it was the best
But the sun and the moon on their earthly quest
Knew without a doubt that it was all the best

They said what does it matter how you read a book
It's all the same no matter how it looks.

Well the only thing important to the Peking King
Was bein' in the arms of his New York Queen

Thousand of miles, they were so far apart
How to get together? Oh, where to start?

On the California Zephyr and the Shanghai Express
He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west.

No passports, no visas, no government quotas
No secret missile sites in South Dakota

No red tape, no red guard could stop the dream
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
I said, the Peking King and the New York Queen

Well they found a little island in the Phillipines
It was a perfect little place to live out a dream
They say East is East, West is West
They say the twain won't meet, but don't you take that bet

'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
The Peking King and the New York Queen
