Been Down So Long Lyrics - L.a. Woman - The Doors

Born from the blind, delusional mind 

Bite the hand that feeds the lie 

The garden is severed, burned is the truth 

Open your eyes 'cause God hates you 

The serpents have the power coiled in illusion 

A poisonous gift of beautiful sin 

Paint the whore with the ashes of Eden 

It's time to face the end of the world 

We have flown too close to the sun 

But in space even angels can get burned

As death rains down upon them 

Cleansing the streets in a cloudburst of blood 

Black leather smoke coils up my nostrils 

Tingling with death's surprise 

It leaks out through the cracks 

In the cold asphalt sidewalks of the city of sin 

Feast upon the images of molten massacre 

As the machineries of death grind relentlessly on 

Photos 

We have flown too close to the sun 

But in space even angels can get burned 

Lunacy breeds in silent fire 

No hope for mankind as the world expire
