    I personally always think that he was a better poet than singer sometimes

    Love the Doors music, Morrison was an amazing singer and poet, it's a damn shame his dark, self-destructive side was stronger than he was.

    BTW, I believe that while Morrison was the Doors' frontman, Ray Manzarek was the real genius behind their success.

    I always thought he said "out here we is stone, immaculate"....you know, dense and unmovable, like stone.

    Often, Morrison's lyrics would change when he went from poetry to song:

    I wanna tell you about Texas Radio and the Big Beat
    Comes out of the Virginia swamps
    Cool and slow with plenty of precision
    With a back beat narrow and hard to master

    Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance
    Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
    I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
    We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
    This is the land where the Pharaoh died

    The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
    They are saying, "Forget the night.
    Live with us in forests of azure.
    Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
    Out here we is stoned immaculate."

    Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
    I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the loss of God
    I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
    The meager food for souls forgot
    I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul

    I'll tell you this
    No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn

    I'll tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
    Soft drivin', slow and mad, like some new language

    Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas
    I'll tell you 'bout the Texas Radio
    I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
    Wandering the Western dream
    Tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul
