Bearded Woman ("L.A. Woman" by The Doors)
(sound of radio channels changing)
Well, the circus came to town about
an hour ago
Take a look around, see where
all the tents go
See a boss canvasman build a
dog and pony show
Are you a bearded little lady in
The Circus of Light
Or just an runaway angel
Circus Tonight
Circus Tonight
Circus Tonight
Circus Tonight
Bearded Woman
Bearded Woman
Bearded Betty will be out soon
Bearded Betty will be out soon
Bearded Betty will be out soon
Drive thru your hubbub
Into your booze
Into your booze
Into your boo hoo hooze
Into your booze
I see the night is falling
The children all are smilin'
The clowns apply their make-up
The crowds they all pile in
Open up the tent flaps
Freak show is my home
A human zoo, so much to do
Never saw a beard -
So fully grown
fully grown
fully grown
fully grown

Seoul Buffet ("Soul Kitchen by The Doors)
Well, the chef says it's time to go - now
He said: "YOU GO - NOW!"
I'd really like to eat here all night
The plates are washed and all put away
Lights go dim as the darkness falls,
Your brain screams: "NO!" with dumb surprise.
Where will you go?
Where will you go?
Let me eat all night in your Seoul Buffet
I have a coupon here so let me in
Fresh food and a dessert tray
My belly does the midnight groan
Well, your fingers creep for something sweet
Another piece of processed meat
Your belly moans for something to eat
Learn to diet, learn to diet
Learn to diet, learn to diet
Let me eat all night in your Seoul Buffet
I have a coupon here so let me in
Fresh food and a dessert tray
My belly does the midnight groan
Well the chef says it's time to close now
He said: "YOU GO - NOW!"
I really want to stay here
All night, all night, all night
