Jim Morrison

James Douglas "Jim" Morrison (December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971) was an American singer-songwriter and poet, best remembered as the lead singer of Los Angeles rock band The Doors. Following The Doors' explosive rise to fame in 1967, Morrison developed a severe alcohol and drug dependency that culminated in his death at the age of 27 in Paris. He is alleged to have died of a heroin overdose, but as no autopsy was performed, the exact cause of his death is still disputed. 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
