    I'm not saying here that Jim wasn't a great writer because I know a lot of people think he is but I never found any of his work to be very poetic at all. He's a good frontman but he's not a great lyricist in my opinion.

    Ya think?

    While I love the doors, I would probably go with:

    T.S. Eliot
    Ezra Pound
    William Blake
    Sylvia Plath
    Milton, anyone?

    And I would go with Rilke or Rumi.

    Bob Dylan: best poet in history perhaps.

    Jim was great, but the thing he might be the best at in history is a poetry reader..

    his prose is just unfuckingbelievably done..

    and possibly the best frontman :p
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    When the music's over

    Yeah, c'mon

    When the music's over
    When the music's over here
    When the music's over
    Turn out the lights
    Turn out the lights
    Turn out the lights

    When the music's over
    When the music's over
    When the music's over
    Turn out the lights
    Turn out the lights
    Turn out the lights

    For the music is your special friend
    Dance on fire as it intends
    Music is your only friend
    Until the end
    Until the end
    Until the end

    Cancel my subscription to the resurrection
    Send my credentials to the house of detention
    I got some friends inside

    The face in the mirror won't stop
    The girl in the window won't drop
    A feast of friends alive she cried
    Waiting for me outside

    Before I sink into the big sleep
    I want to hear
    I want to hear
    The scream of the butterfly

    Come back, baby
    Back into my arms

    We're getting tired of hangin' around
    Waitin' around
    With our heads to the ground

    I hear a very gentle sound
    Very near
    Yet very far
    Very soft
    Yet very clear
    Come today
    Come today

    What have they done to the earth?
    What have they done to our fair sister?

    Ravaged and plundered
    And ripped her
    And bit her
    Stuck her with knives
    In the side of the dawn
    And tied her with fences
    And dragged her down

    I hear a very gentle sound
    With your ear down to the ground—
    We want the world and we want it,
    We want the world and we want it, now
    Now? Now!

    Persian night! babe
    See the light! babe
    Save us!
    Jesus!
    Save us!

    So when the music's over
    When the music's over, yeah
    When the music's over
    Turn out the light
    Turn out the light

    For the music is your special friend
    Dance on fire as it intends
    Music is your only friend
    Until the end
    Until the end
    Until the end

    So when the music's over
    When the music's over, yeah
    When the music's over
    Turn out the light
    Turn out the light
