That’s a rap he does during “American Night” on “An American Prayer”, a little known but incredible album.

The Doors
An American Prayer (1978)

American Night

All hail the American night!

What was that?
I don’t know
Sounds like guns...thunder.

(Roadhouse Blues)

...Alright! Alright! Alright!
Hey, listen! Listen! Listen, man! listen, man!
I don’t know how many you people believe in astrology...

Yeah, that’s right...that’s right, baby, I...I am a
Sagittarius
The most philosophical of all the signs
But anyway, I don’t believe in it
I think it’s a bunch of bullshit, myself
But I tell you this, man, I tell you this
I don’t know what’s gonna happen, man, but I wanna have
my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames
Alright!


Jim was a shaman and a prophet....:)

I LOVE that album! Not sure exactly how they did it - but I think they had a bunch of his poetry, singing, etc. on old tapes, got the band back together and added the instruments to it.

I may not agree with the lyrics all (most?!) of the time anymore - but definitly great music.
