GonzoBobH said: Gloria; Peace Frog/Blue Sunday; A Little Game+The Hill Dwellers+Not to Touch the Earth; The Celebration of the Lizard; Unhappy Girl. Anyway, IMVHO. Enjoy! Lions in the street and roaming Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming A beast caged in the heart of a city The body of his mother Rotting in the summer ground He fled the town He went down South and crossed the border Left chaos and disorder Back there over his shoulder One morning he awoke in a green hotel With a strange creature groaning beside him Sweat oozed from its shining skin is everybody in? is everybody in? is everybody in? the ceremony is about to begin Wake up! You can't remember where it was Had this dream stopped? The snake was pale gold Glazed and shrunken We were afraid to touch it The sheets were hot dead prisons And she was beside me Old, she's no, young Her dark red hair the white soft skin Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom Look! shes coming in here I can't live thru each slow century of her moving I let my cheek slide down The cool smooth tile Feel the good cold stinging blood The smooth hissing snakes of rain . . . Once I had, a little game I liked to crawl, back in my brain I think you know, the game I mean I mean the game, called 'go insane' you should try, this little game Just close your eyes, forget your name Forget the world, forget the people And we'll erect, a different steeple This little game, is fun to do Just close your eyes, no way to lose And I'm right there, I'm going too Release control, we're breaking thru Way back deep into the brain Back where there's never any pain And the rain falls gently on the town And over the heads of all of us And in the labyrinth of streams Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of gentle hill dwellers, in the gentle hills around Reptiles abounding Fossils, caves, cool air heights Each house repeats a mold Windows rolled Beast car locked in against morning All now sleeping Rugs silent, mirrors vacant Dust Lying under the beds of lawful couples Wound in sheets And daughters, smug With semen eyes in their nipples Wait There's been a slaughter here (Don't stop to speak or look around Your gloves and fan are on the ground We're getting out of town We're going on the run And you're the one I want to come) Not to touch the earth Not to see the sun Nothing left to do, but Run, run, run Let's run lets run House upon the hill Moon is lying still Shadows of the trees Witnessing the wild breeze C'mon baby run with me Let's run Run with me Run with me Run with me Let's run The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill Rich are the rooms and the comforts there Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs And you won't know a thing till you get inside Dead president's corpse in the driver's car The engine runs on glue and tar C'mon along, we're not going very far To the East to meet the Czar run with me run with me run with me let's run Some outlaws lived by the side of the lake The minister's daughter's in love with the snake Who lives in a well by the side of the road Wake up, girl! We're almost home We should see the gates by mornin' We should be inside by evening, sun sun sun burn burn burn burn, burn, burn, i will get you soon, soon, soon i am the lizard king i can do anything We came down The rivers and highways We came down from Forests and falls We came down from Carson and Springfield We came down from Phoenix enthralled And I can tell you The names of the Kingdom I can tell you The things that you know Listening for a fistful of silence Climbing valleys into the shade for seven years, i dwelt in the loose palace of exile playing strange games with the girls of the island now, i have come again to the land of the fair, and the strong, and the wise brothers and sisters of the pale forest children of night who among you will run with the hunt? now night arives with her purple legion Retire now to your tents and to your dreams Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth I want to be ready' (12/20/2008)

dizit said: The summer of 1966, The Doors were the house band at The Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood. I was often there. One night I remember dancing while Jim was singing, "The End", a song he kept changing, refining, all summer long it seemed. He was so stoned he was almost falling off the stage, but it didn't affect his voice. His body was somewhere else, it was obvious, but his voice was with us. (12/23/2008)

rachelmcarter1 said: JIM MORRISON & THE DOORS “People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” (12/31/2008)

MichaelJollyoink said: Others have named all my favorite songs (with the odd exception of the wonderfully haunting "Strange Days"). Instead of repeating, allow me to nominate for Best Guitar Work: the nutty, goofy, wild and free slide solo on "Moonlight Drive." Best Keyboards: Ray says it all so succinctly on "Take It As It Comes" from the first album. Oh, another odd fave: "Land Ho!" Jim the sailor (!?!) (5/6/2009)
