Tightrope Ride
You're on a tightrope ride, nobody by your side
Well, you're all alone, gotta find a new home
Don't go over the line. You better keep on time
Or you'll lose your mind on your tightrope ride
Watch out, don't fall! Careful, don't slip!
You better get your balance, you have to feel the way
There are no more questions, no answers today
There are no reasons, there are no more rhymes
But if you feel it, you can fly next time
You can fly next time, or maybe this time
Did you think we were all together?
Did you think we were all the same?
Did you think maybe I could help you
Remember your name, remember the game
What's the name of the game
It's a very good game, never stays the same
It's the number one from the mud to the sun
You're on a tightrope ride, we're all by your side
But you're all alone, and we're going home
And we're by your side, but you're all alone
Like a Rolling Stone, like Brian Jones
On a tightrope ride
A song that only came about due to the death of Jim Morrison.
Written by Ray Manzarek it is arguably the best ever tribute to the fallen singer.
A fine example of the musicianship The Doors had in their arsenal, it is a hard rocking number that features some superb effects laden guitar playing from Robby Krieger and a good solid drum support from John Densmore.
The centrepiece is of course Ray's keyboard and very angry passionate vocal performance which is without doubt the finest post Morrison vocal efforts and even good enough to be counted up there with the best of the Morrison led Doors songs.
