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 »

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 numb
Her dark, red hair
The white soft skin

Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom 
Look! 
She's coming in here 
I can't live through 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...
