This entire song is not just based only on "The End" by The Doors but is borrowed from other doors songs, with added original parts that borrow from other Doors songs.
The introduction is "The End". The "Ride with me" sections are borrowed from "Celebration of the Lizard" where Jim says "Run with me".
The verses are references to "Riders on the storm".
First verse:
"The other night I was out riding in a friend's car
And out there on the side of the road
There was this snake
This snake had eyes of fire and fangs from another world
But he was selling something
He was selling devotion
He was selling dreams, he was selling lifestyles
And I said sure man what you got
I'm interested in anything that's gonna get me off
And the snake just stood there and smiled with the spit in his eye and cried"
"Theres a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah"
Ditto for the second verse, only:
"Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah"
The final verse is "Universal Mind".
"I was doing time
In the universal mind
I was feeling fine
I was turning keys I was setting people free
I was doing all right
Then you came along
With a suitcase and a song
Turned my head around
Now Im so alone
Just looking for a home
In every place I see"
Basically, it's a tribute to parts of Doors songs.
