The Severed Garden / Feast Of Friends - Jim Morrison & The Doors

1978, "An American Prayer"

Wow, I'm sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain
South
Cruel bindings.
The servants have the power
dog-men and their mean women
pulling poor blankets over
our sailors

I'm sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the TV
Tower, I want roses in
my garden bower; dig?
Royal babies, rubies
must now replace aborted
Strangers in the mud
These mutants, blood-meal
for the plant that's plowed.

They are waiting to take us into
the severed garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful
comes death on a strange hour
unannounced, unplanned for
like a scaring over-friendly guest you've
brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
and gives us wings
where we had shoulders
smooth as raven's
claws

No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best
until it's other jaw reveals incest
and loose obedience to a vegetable law.

I will not go
Prefer a Feast of Friends
To the Giant Family.

[mrmojorisin291278]

@JimJohnRayRobby I got the tattoo it's lovely i am really pleased and planing another lol, i wasnt a verse from Never tear us apart from INXS (Michael is my 2nd love after Jim) "We could live for a thousand years, but if i hurt you i'd make wine from your tears. I told you we could fly because we all have wings but some of us don't know why". Yeah you are my favorite friend you do Jim proud and you have a fantastic talent, this video makes me cry it's so moving. Love Marie.

Crying so hard...always. ALWAYS. LOVE YOU JIM.

@JimJohnRayRobby if they close you down again just keep coming back Tanja you are doing The doors proud, Youtube is the opposite to what Jim would of stood for had he known it. And all your friends on here will always be here for you. =0)
