AwakeShake dreams from your hair My pretty child, my sweet one. Choose the day andchoose the sign of your day The day’s divinity First thing you see. A vast radiant beachin a cool jeweled moon Couples naked race down by it’s quiet side And we laugh like soft, mad children Smug in the woolly cotton brains of infancy The music and voices are all around us. Choose, they croon, the Ancient OnesThe time has come again Choose now, they croon, Beneath the moon Beside an ancient lake Enter again the sweet forest Enter the hot dream Come with us Everything is broken up and dances. .The Doors
