Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

During his final performance at The Warehouse in New Orleans, on December 12, 1970, Morrison apparently had a breakdown on stage. Midway through the set he slammed the microphone numerous times into the stage floor until the platform beneath was destroyed, then sat down and refused to perform for the remainder of the show. Afterwards, the other members of the band met and decided to end their live act, citing their mutual agreement that Morrison was ready to retire from performing.

In "L.A. Woman", Jim Morrison makes an anagram of his name to chant "Mr. Mojo Risin'".

On July 3, 1971, he was found dead in the bath at the age of 27--the same age as several other famous rock stars in the 27 Club, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain. In 1974, Morrison's girlfriend Pamela Courson also died at the age of 27.

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
