Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Unhappy girl
Left all alone
Playing solitaire
Playing warden to your soul
You are locked in a prison
Of your own device
[Verse 2]
And you can't believe
What it does to me
To see you
Crying
[Verse 3]
Unhappy girl
Tear your web away
I saw through all your bars
Melt your cell today
You are caught in a prison
Of your own device
[Verse 4]
Unhappy girl
Fly fast away
Don't miss your chance
To swim in mystery
You are dying in a prison
Of your own device
Written by: Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger
