The Movie

by Jim Morrison

on An American Prayer (1978)

The movie will begin in five moments
The mindless voice announced
All those unseated will await the next show

We filed slowly, languidly into the hall
The auditorium was vast and silent
As we seated and were darkened
The voice continued:

The program for this evening is not new
You've seen this entertainment through and through
You've seen your birth, your life and death
You might recall all of the rest
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?

I'm getting out of here

Where are you going?

To the other side of morning

Please don't chase the clouds, pagodas

Her cunt gripped him like a warm friendly hand

It's all right, all your friends are here

When can I meet them?

After you've eaten

I'm not hungry

Uh, we meant beaten

Silver stream, silvery scream
Oooh, impossible concentration
