The Changeling - The Doors Lyrics

Uh!
Uha!
Gedu!

I live uptown
I live downtown
I live all around

I had money, and I had none
I had money, and I had none
But I never been so broke
That I couldn't leave town

I'm a Changeling
See me change
I'm a Changelin'
See me change

I'm the air you breath
Food you eat
Friends your greet
In the sullen street, wow

See me change
See me change, you

I live uptown
I live downtown
I live all around

I had money, yeah, and I had none
I had money, yeah, and I had none
But I never been so broke
That I couldn't leave town

Well, I'm the air you breath
Food you eat
Friends your greet
In the sullen street, wow

Ew ma!
Uh, ah!

You gotta see me change
See me change
Yeah, I'm leavin' town
On a midnight train
Gotta see me change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Woa, change, change, change

A changeling is a mythological creature who is substituted for a human baby. The changeling was usually an outcast.

Jim Morrison may have got the idea for this from a student film he saw at USC in 1968 called Changeling.

Morrison wrote the lyrics in 1968, but they did not record it until 1970. It turned out to be Morrison's last album.

B-side of "Riders On The Storm."
