Songs on rewind

Late at night, a playlist of The Doors is on rewind

Because every song seems to match the thoughts on my mind

Jim Morrison singing ‘Soul Kitchen’ gives me the thrills

It makes me feel like the night that I took happy pills

You light another cigarette to forget your thoughts as well

And I know that I will never get rid of my love for that smell

It oozes you, even when I’m in a misty bar and you’re nowhere around

I want to stay but run at the same time, to a place that can never be found

Since every time you come a step closer, my body moves away

Sometimes I feel a close connection to the girl called ‘Ruby Tuesday’

There’s a reason the word ‘freedom’ is engraved on my back

I love the routine of grabbing my suitcase and beginning to pack

But there’s something about you that integrates me for a change

A certain mystique that competes with mine and it feels strange

Maybe it’s because I have the feeling we’re quite the same in this

No desire for chains but a pure passion I see as a beautiful bliss

The good are never easy, the easy never good is what they say

Who knows, we may found out on a particular lovers day

For I know the best thing is to take it easy baby, to take it as it comes

Before I run away for the mighty noise in my head of beating drums
