Through the doors.. out into the open

Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born, Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone, An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road, His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday, Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride, Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl you gotta love your man, Girl you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand, Make him understand
The world on you depends, Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah
...........

You're lost, little girl, You're lost, little girl
You're lost, Tell me who are you?

Think that you know what to do
Impossible yes, But it's true

I think that you know what to do
Yeah, Sure that you know what to do

You're lost, little girl, You're lost, little girl
You're lost, Tell me who are you?

--

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name

When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

--

We could be so good together, Ya, so good together
We could be so good together, Ya, we could, I know we could

Tell you lies, I tell you wicked lies
Tell you lies, Tell you wicked lies

Tell you 'bout the world that we'll invent, Wanton world without lament
Enterprise, expedition, Invitation and invention

Ya, so good together, Ah, so good together
We could be so good together, Ya, we could, know we could


The time you wait subtracts the joy, Beheads the angels you destroy
Angels fight, angels cry, Angels dance and angels die


--

Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They're going to destroy our casual joys
We shall go on playing or find a new town

Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin and you know this is it

Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone


--
Can you picture what will be, So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand, In a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain, And all the children are insane
All the children are insane, Waiting for the summer rain
There's danger on the edge of town, Ride the King's highway
Weird scenes inside the gold mine, Ride the highway West, baby

Ride the snake, Ride the snake
To the lake, To the lake


The ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, Seven miles
Ride the snake

He's old, And his skin is cold
The West is the best, The West is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is calling us, The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where are you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn , He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door
And he looked inside
Father
Yes son?
I want to kill you
Mother, I want to. . .

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end
