This song was one of the earliest uses of the Moog synthesizer.
This is the first track on the Doors second album, and also it is the title track. It does an excellent job setting the mood for the album, which is dark, mysterious, and strange.
[Verse 1]
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!
[Verse 2]
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!
[Verse 3]
Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone
