Vynikajici album s dobře postřehnutelnými dozvuky předešlého L.A. Woman. Doors měli v době Jimovy smrti rozpracováno pár věci, které zde použili. Většinu písní nazpíval pozoruhodným bluesovým hlasem Ray.
Skladba Tightrope Ride byla v roce 1997 zařazena na Box Set a stala se tak dostupnou pro širší publikum, což považuji za skvělé, protože si snad lidi konečně uvědomí, že v Doors byli i jiné významné hudební osobnosti než Jim Morrison.

In The Eye of The Sun
In the eye of the sun
before the world had begun
Taking it easy
I was having some fun
Loafin' and a jokin'
it was all energy
No such thing as you and or meNo time
pure mind
In the eye of the sun
before the world had begun
It had been a lot of work the last time around
I needed a rest
a chance to just lie down
Always on the go
no time to kill
a lot of runnin' to and fro
hard workin' at the mill
So it blew up
and I flew up into the eye of the sun
before the world had begun
Well I hung around
I don't know how many years
No more troubles
no more fears
Had a lot of rest with-a nothing to do
I wanted flesh and blood and skin and bonesa
multi-dimensional universal home
I wanted space and time
up and downlife and death
and love all around
I knew there'd be trouble
but I could pull through
so I thought up the world and you did too
Variety Is The Spice of Life
Well, variety is the spice of life babe
That's what the judge is gonna tell my wife
She said, "Why'd you have to do it? Why you such a fool?"
I can't resist to try something new
Well, the judge said, "Guilty in the first degree"
I said, "Can I help it if I dig multiplicity?"
All these pretty women with nothing to do
C'mon and help me try to find something new
Well, you've gotta try ev'rything once
You better take out some insurance
You gotta try ev'rything once
You better build up your endurance
Well, variety is the spice of life
That's what the judge is gonna tell my wife
She said, "Why'd you have to do it? Why such a fool?"
I can't resist to try something new
You got a full house, babe, I got four of a kind
I'm watchin' six different televisions, all at one time
You know I love you, baby, sad but true
Well, you gotta try ev'rything once
You better take out some insurance
You gotta try ev'rything once
You better build up your endurance
'Cause variety is the spice of life, babe
That's what the judge is gonna tell my wife
She said, "Why'd you have to do it? Why such a fool?"
I can't resist to try something new
Ships w/ Sails
Well, you asked how much I love you
Why do ships with sails love the wind?
And will I be thinking of you
will I ever pass this way again?
I'll be returning some day
Until then
Please don't ask me my direction
Let my tracks be buried in the sea
Cause to wander's my infection
till the four winds bring you back to me
Don't count your memories
think of me as just a dream
Just like this melody I sing
Tightrope Ride
You're on a tightrope ride, nobody by your side
Well, you're all alone, gotta find a new home
Don't go over the line. You better keep on time
or you'll lose your mind on your tightrope ride
Watch out, don't fall! Careful, don't slip!
You better get your balance, you have to feel the way
There are no more questions, no answers today
There are no reasons, there are no more rhymes
but if you feel it, you can fly next time
you can fly net time, or maybe this time
Did you think we were all together?
Did you think we were all the same?
Did you think maybe I could help you
remember your name, remember the game
what's the name of the game
It's a very good game, never stays the same
It's the number one from mud to sun
You're on a tightrope ride, we're all by your side
but you're all alone, and we're going home
and we're by your side, but you're all alone
like a Rolling Stone, like Brian Jones
on a tightrope ride
Down On The Farm
Don't need none today
Master's gone away
his mind has gone astray
'cause we don't need none today
Did you hear what I say?
Don't need none today
Gonna run a rainbow ragged
ask the mountain men, they've had it
City life's a real bad habit
all the boys are down on the farm
Gonna run a rainbow ragged
ask the mountain men, they've had it
City life's a real bad habit
c'mon along it won't do you no harm
We're goin' down on the farm
Gonna run a rainbow
gonna run a rainbow
gonna run a rainbow
gonna run a rainbow
gonna run a rainbow ragged
Ask the mountain men, they've had it
City life's a real bad habit
all the boys are down on the farm
I'm Horny, I'm Stoned
Well, I'm tired, I'm nervous, I'm bored, I'm stoned
Don't you know
life ain't so easy when you're on your own
Well, I'm lonely, I'm ugly, I'm horny, I'm cold
Don't you know
life ain't so easy when you're on your own
leavin' home
Well, I got ripped off, wiped out, I got burned
Don't you know
life ain't so easy when you'r on your own
I feel my mind is shaken out of place
I look like a truck ran over my face
The doctor says I'm not a hopeless case
I really wanna join the human race
Well, I got ripped off, wiped out, I got burned
Don't you know
life ain't so easy when you're on your own
Well, I'm tired, I'm nervous, I'm bored, I'm stoned
Don't you know
life ain't so easy when you're on your own
leavin' home
On your own
On your own
Wandering Musician
Please don't tell me what to do
'cause even if I wanted to
I couldn't throw my life away by listening to what you say
I'm a-tellin' you
Ain't nothin' you can do to change my ways
Hey, hey, hey
Ain't no way you gonna make me think like you do
No matter if the sun or the stars say I'm wrong
it's just the song of a lonely wandering musician
I'm a-tellin' you
Ain't nothin' you can do to change my ways
No, no, no, no, no
Ain't gonna make me think like you do
It's just the song of a lonely wandering musician
I'm a-tellin' you
ain't nothin' you can do to change my ways
Hey, hey, hey
Ain't no way
Hey, hey, hey
Ain't no way
Hang On To Your Life
Sweet bird of prey you've gone below
all soft and black it's time to grow
Don't be afraid to touch the light
Don't run from love in the starless night
Hang on to your life, it's begun now
Hang on paradise, here we come now
Life is like the wind. Where does it begin?
Time come again. Where's your day now?
Bring me your sun. Light the way now
Just spread your wings and taste the sky
It's time to laugh, it's time to fly
The mountain air is clear and bright
Your shadow world is endless night
Time come again. Where's your day now?
Bring me your sun. Light the way now
Hang on to your life, it's begun now
Hang on paradise, here we come now
Life is like the wind. Where's it gonna end?
