Hour For Magic Lyrics - An American Prayer - The Doors

resident mockery 

give us an hour for magic 

We of the purple glove 

We of the starling light and velvet hour 

We of the arabic pleasure's breed 

We of the sundome and the nightGive us greed 

To beleive 

A night of Lust 

Give us trust in 

The Night 

Give of color 

hundred huies 

a rich mandala 

for me and you 

and your silky 

pillowed house 

a head, wisdom 

and a bed 

Troubled decree 

Resident mockery 

has claimed thee 

We used to believe 

in hte good old days 

We still recieve 

In little ways 

The things of Kindness 

and unsporting brow 

Forget and allow 

Did you know freedom exists in a school book 

Did you know madmen are running our prison 

within a jail, within a gaol 

within a white protestant 

maelstrom 

We're perched headlong on the edge of boredom 

We're reacing for death on the end of a candle 

We're trying for something 

That's already found us
