You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire

I dislike when radio stations play the shortened version - you miss the wonderful interplay-interweaving of the guitar and the organ in that long interlude before the vocals come back in.
On another note - Jim Morrison is the idol-god of teenage existentialists and youth-rebels. He offers something that seems like wisdom, especially if you are high or tripping, but when you actually try to determine what you are gaining from his words it is revealed as a semi-coherent mish-mash of merely rebellious Rock'nRoll posings. "Break on through", "The end is always near", "End of the night" - what the hell did he mean by all that?
Dunno - but it sure sounds good when you are 17 years old and on hallucinogens
Like Jimi, Janis,and the all others right up to Amy W, Jim Morrison was a pied piper and a false prophet who perished in his own self-infatuated excess.
He and his kind lead toward destruction if you take their music to its ultimate conclusion.
Are you so naive as to assume that everyone goes there when they leave earth?
Who knows if that's true or not.
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre"
I agree with paraless. these lines may mean that love might not last forever. and the first 2 lines basically mean make good use of your time together, live your life together adventurously and be impulsive. the last two lines, eventually, love will die out, like a funeral pyre. great simillie.
