The Celebration of the Lizard: The Palace of Exile

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 »

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, & the strong, & the wise. 

Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
Children of Night 
Who among you will run with the hunt? 

Now Night arrives with her purple legion. 
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams. 
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth. 
I want to be ready. 

The Doors! The Doors! 
We're out of time, thank you very much. We're out of time. 

All right, we've got time for one more, let's do it one more time.
