DORINA

SONG LYRICS

Tried to make you happen
Tried to make you real
Tried to make your face
From a broken Ferris wheel

Listen to me, Dori
Listen and you'll hear
A wind that carries lonely
And a wind that carries tears

(oo-wooh) Dorina
(oo-wooh) Dorina
(oo-wooh)

The bartender must be crazy
He's such an irritating host
Every night the same dumb questions
"Where's your pretty little ghost?"

Can't a man imagine?
Can't a man be free?
Can't a man just have one little drink?

(oo-wooh) Dorina
(oo-wooh) Dorina
(oo-wooh)

(solo)

(oo-wooh) Dorina
(oo-wooh) Dorina
(oo-wooh-ooh-hoo) Dorina, ooh
(oo-wooh)
Dorina
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, Dor-dorin-rina

SONG NOTES

Spoken by Joie on the German video: "This is a song about as very, very, very drunk man considering a lovely woman."

At the 2003 Hartford and Baltimore shows, Joie related this story about the origin of this song (not a direct quote): He and Mike used to live about a block away from each other in West Hollywood. They'd walk back and forth to each other's apartments and they'd be writing songs all the time. One time, Joie started playing this bass riff. So they're writing this song, realizing that it's really good, and Joie said it was like he was possessed by the Devil because his hand was just going and he wasn't even doing anything. Phil remarked that this was the first song that he ever jammed together with them on.
