Ship Of Fools:
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 06:53 AM by dbt
The human race was dyin' out.
No one left to scream and shout.
People walking on the moon.
Smog will get you pretty soon.

Everyone was hanging out.
Hanging up and hanging down.
Hanging in and holding fast.
Hope our little world will last.

Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips
Looking for a new a ship.
Come on, people better climb on board.
Come on, baby, now we're going home.

Ship of fools, ship of fools.

The human race was dyin' out.
Noone left to scream and shout.
People walking on the moon.
Smog will get you pretty soon.

Ship of fools, ship of fools.
Ship of fools, ship of fools.
Ship of fools, ship of fools.
*improv and fade*

Does this sound a little too FAMILIAR?

:evilgrin:

4. Thats my favorite album of theirs
I like pretty much all of them except elektra recycled alot of the same songs on different albums without making it a strictly "greatest hits" deal.At least thats what I remember.Met Ray Manzerek on the street in NY more than 20 years ago with his wife.He was a real cool guy.Wish I could have seen them live.

6. They were awesome live. I saw them in Chicago once.
And no, nothing was exposed that shouldn't have been. (Although it was a pretty rowdy crowd that night, rowdy enough that Morrison was given to remark at one point, "Is that any way to act at a rock 'n' roll concert?") :-)

10. I remember the title. I don't think I've read it.
I'll add it to my "things to do" list. *sigh* (Which now means I'm going to have to live until I'm 112 or so to finish them all.)

3. Oh, yeah!
The killer awoke before dawn,
He put his boots on.
He took a face from the ancient gallery and he
Went outside to clear brush.
