American Night by The Doors Lyrics
[Intro]
All hail the American night!
What was that?
I don't know
Sounds like guns...thunder
[Verse 1]
Oh, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're going to the Roadhouse
Gonna have a real
A good time
[Verse 2]
Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
And that's for the people who like to go down slow
[Chorus]
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll
All night long
[Post-Chorus]
Do it, Robby, do it!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 1]
You got to roll, roll, roll
You got to thrill my soul, all right
Roll, roll, roll, roll
To thrill my soul
You got to beep-a-gunk-a-chucha
Honk-konk-konk-kadanta
Each-ya-puna-ney-cha
Bap-pa-lula-ni-chao
Pao-pati-cha
Ni-saong-kong
Alright!
[Bridge 2]
Ashen lady
Ashen lady
Give up your vows
Give up your vows
Save our city
Save our city
Right now
[Verse 3]
Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain and the end is always near
[Chorus]
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll
All night long
Alright! Alright! Alright!
Hey, listen! Listen! Listen, man! listen, man!
I don't know how many you people believe in astrology
Yeah, that's right...that's right, baby, I...I am a
Sagittarius
The most philosophical of all the signs
But anyway, I don't believe in it
I think it's a bunch of bullshit, myself
But I tell you this, man, I tell you this
I don't know what's going tohappen, man, but I wanna have
My kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames
Alright!
All hail the American night!
What was that?
I don't know
Sounds like guns...thunder

Oh, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel

Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
And that's for the people who like to go down slow
[Chorus]
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll
All night long
[Post-Chorus]
Do it, Robby, do it!
