The Doors

The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The band took its name from Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, the title of which was a reference to a William Blake quotation: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite." They were among the most controversial rock acts of the 1960s, due mostly to Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until finally disbanding in 1973. more »

Dead cats, dead rats 
Can't see what they were at, all right 
Dead cat in a top hat, wow 
Sucking on the young man's blood 
Wishing he could come, yeah 
Sucking on the soldier's brain 
Wishing it would be the same

Dead cat, dead rat 
Can't you see what they were at?
Fat cat in a top hat 
Thinks he's an aristocrat 
Thinks he can kill and slaughter 
Thinks he can shoot my daughter 

Yeah right! Oh yeah! 
Oh right! Yeeah!

Dead cats, dead rats 
Think they're an aristocrat 
Crap, now that's crap!
