Cover art for Not To Touch The Earth lyrics by Doors, The

The presidential interpretation really could be a red herring. The next verse makes less sense in my mind so I have to say this song makes no sense. To me, a song written by Jim Morrison is as confounding as an album review out of Rolling Stone or a rant from Dennis Miller. Sometimes I wonder if they are a cross between the RS review and the Dennis Miller rant. The ending of the song is pretty cool, he definitely was the lizard king in terms that a lot of women played with his lizard. This song is one of Morrison's most trippy and it shows that the drugs are maybe affecting him.
