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 »

Well I'll tell you a story of whiskey and mystics and men
And about the believers, and how the whole thing began

First there were women and children obeying the moon
Da da da 
Then daylight brought wisdom and fever and sickness too soon
Da da da 

You can try to remind me instead of the other you can (da da da)
You can help to insure that we all insecure our command (da da da)
If you don't give a listen, I won't try to tell your new hand (da da da)
This is it, can't you see that we all have our ends in the band? (da da da)

Da da da 
Da da da 

And if all of the teachers and preachers of wealth were arraigned 
We could see quite a future for me in the literal sands 

And if all of the people could claim to inspect such regret (da da da)
Well, we'd have no forgiveness, forgetfulness, faithful remorse (da da da)
So, I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must send away (da da da)
We must try to find a new answer instead of a way
