Jim Morrison's "Graveyard Poem"

A poem he often included in the middle of "Light My Fire" during live shows. I actually got to perform it once when I used to sing.

Graveyard Poem

It was the greatest night of my life
Although I still had not found a wife
I had my friends right there beside me
We tripped the graveyard and scaled the fence
Ancient shapes lay all around

Two made love in an ancient spot
One chased a rabbit into the dark
A girl got drunk and balled the dead
While I gave empty sermons to my head

"Cemetery, cool and quiet
I hate to leave your sacred lay
Dread the milky coming of the day"

When I was back there in seminary school there was a person there who put forth the proposition that you can petition the Lord with prayer. Petition the Lord with prayer. Petition the Lord with prayer. YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER!!!!
@NankerPhelge "Soft Parade" used to do that one quite a bit. Lol

@PrivateHell It's my favourite Doors track of all. Absolutely amazing. I've never heard anything else like it.
