Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run, tried to hide
[Chorus]
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah
[Verse 2]
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
Can you still recall the time we cried?
[Chorus]
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
[Bridge]
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She gets high
She gets high
She gets high
She gets high, yeah
[Verse 3]
I found an island in your arms
A country in your eyes
Arms that chained us, eyes that lied
[Chorus]
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, oh
Oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
Made the scene, week to week
Day to day, hour to hour
The gate is straight, deep and wide
[Chorus]
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, break on through
Break on through, break on through
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
