  1. “L.A. Woman” was the Doors’ 6th studio album, released on April 19, 1971,the last to feature the group's lead singer, Jim Morrison, who died three months after the album's release. It closes its first side with the title track, the lengthiest song on the album. The lyrics, by Morrison, included an anagram of his name, Mr. Mojo Risin'."

    Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
    Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
    Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows

    Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light
    Or just another lost angel?
    City of Night, City of Night,
    City of Night, City of Night, woo, c'mon

    L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
    L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
    L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
    L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
    Drive through your suburbs
    Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
    Into your blue-blue Blues
    Into your blues, oh, yeah

    I see your hair is burnin'
    Hills are filled with fire
    If they say I never loved you
    You know they are a liar
    Drivin' down your freeway
    Midnight alleys roam
    Cops in cars,
    The topless bars
    Never saw a woman...
    So alone, so alone
    So alone, so alone

    Motel, money, murder, madness
    Let's change the mood from glad to sadness

    Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
    Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
    Got to keep on risin'
    Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
    Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'
    Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'
    Risin', risin'
    Gone risin', risin'
    I'm gone risin', risin'
    I gotta risin', risin'
    Well, risin', risin'
    I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'
    Whoa, oh yeah

    Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
    Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
    Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows

    Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light
    Or just another lost angel?
    City of Night, City of Night,
    City of Night, City of Night, whoa, c'mon

    L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
    L.A. Woman, you're my woman
    Little L.A. Woman, Little L.A. Woman
    L.A. L.A. Woman Woman
    L.A. Woman c'mon

  2. I was listening to the song while painting it. Also inspired by the album art.
