Ship Days

The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California by vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger. They are considered a controversial and influential band, due mostly to Morrison’s cryptic lyrics and unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison’s death on July 3, 1971, the remaining members continued as a threesome until disbanding in 1973. Despite a career that barely totaled eight years, The Doors still enjoy a huge cult following as well as status in the mainstream music industry as being hugely influential and original. According to the RIAA, they have sold over 32.5 million albums in the US alone. ________________________________________ Before you slip into unconsciousness Id like to have another kiss Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss, another kiss The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle rain The time you ran was too insane Well meet again, well meet again Oh tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die Deliver me from reasons why Youd rather cry, Id rather fly The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls, a thousand thrills A million ways to spend your time When we get back, Ill drop a line
