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 »

Thoughts in time and out of season 
The hitchhiker 
Stood by the side of the road 
And leveled his thumb 
In the calm calculus of reason 

Hi. how you doin'? I just got back into town L.A. 
I was out on the desert for awhile 
"Riders on the storm" 
Yeah. in the middle of it 
"Riders on the storm" 
Right
"Into this world we're born" 
Hey, listen, man, I really got a problem 
"Into this world we're thrown" 
When I was out on the desert, ya know 
"Like a dog without a bone 
An actor out on loan" 
I don't know how to tell you 
"Riders on the storm" 
But, ah, I killed somebody 
"There's a killer on the road" 
No
"His brain is squirming like a toad" 
It's no big deal, ya know 
I don't think anybody will find out about it, but
"Take a long holiday" 
Just, ah 
"Let your children play" 
This guy gave me a ride, and ah
If you give this man a ride" 
Started giving me a lot of trouble 
"Sweet family will die" 
And I just couldn't take it, ya know 
"Killer on the road" 
And I wasted him 
Yeah
