Lyrics:

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh

Let's climb through the tide

Penetrate the evenin' that the

City sleeps to hide

Let's swim out tonight, love

It's our turn to try

Parked beside the ocean

On our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh

Let's climb through the tide

Surrender to the waiting worlds

That lap against our side

Nothin' left open

And no time to decide

We've stepped into a river

On our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon

Let's climb through the tide

You reach your hand to hold me

But I can't be your guide

Easy, I love you

As I watch you glide

Falling through wet forests

On our moonlight drive, baby

Moonlight drive

Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride

Down, down by the ocean side

Gonna get real close

Get real tight

Baby gonna drown tonight

Goin' down, down, down

THE DOORS

THE DOORS

That damn harmonica nearly ruins this demo. Even Toots Tillman would disprove.

Yeah this one is sped up a whole step as well. Back then new bands use to go crazy with the speed variation knob on the machine because they thought it made them sound better, the Beatles even did that, but when they played live they realized pretty quick they didn't sound the same as the record so they stopped. This is definitely playing too fast though. The Doors played this song in G, in this recording it's in A so you would have to slow it down a whole step using a program like Audacity to get the actual recording. Ha, I just did it, NOW it sounds exactly like Jim, he sounds really nervous, damn this must have been like the very first time he sang with a band
