The Doors Strange Days

A visit to New York City by The Doors inspired Jim to write Strange Days and other songs on the Strange Days album. Two music videos were made for the song. This one features the same circus performers on the Strange Days cover photo, who would explore New York City. It also included footage of various people, which was made swervy and distorted to fit in with the strange theme of the song. All of this new footage was mixed with footage of the old video, and rereleased as a remixed video. Lyrics: Strange days have found us Strange days have tracked us down They re going to destroy Our casual joys We shall go on playing Or find a new town Yeah Strange eyes fill strange rooms Voices will signal their tired end The hostess is grinning Her guests sleep from sinning Hear me talk of sin And you know this is it Yeah Strange days have found us And through their strange hours We linger alone Bodies confused
