In the song's bridge, Morrison repeats the phrase "Mr. Mojo Risin'," which is an anagram of "Jim Morrison".[1]
The phrase "city of night" that Morrison repeats several times throughout the song is the title of a novel by John Rechy, originally published in 1963. Morrison was a fan of the novel and had a track record of incorporating novel titles, fragments and lines from the poetry of others into his lyrics, such as Journey to the End of the Night, Not to Touch the Earth, and Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me.
The song was recorded at The Doors Workshop on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, between December 1970 and January 1971. Morrison recorded his vocal part in the bathroom of the makeshift studio due to the room's natural reverb. Marc Benno was a second guitarist on the session; Jerry Scheff played electric bass guitar.
