Peace Frog

Originalmente, Robby Krieger escribió la parte instrumental del tema, y de hecho, antes de que Morrison escribiera las letras, se grabó la pista instrumental, la cual al final tiene una conexión directa con el quinto tema del LP, Blue Sunday.[4]

Su escritura lírica ha sido descrita como la canción más polémica y controversial del álbum, pues tiene letras muy crudas,[5] originalmente escritas e inspiradas en dos poemas de Morrison, llamados Newborn Awakening y Dawn's Highway. También se basó en el relato de un evento que Morrison vio:[4]

Me and my — mother and father — and a grandmother and a grandfather — were driving through the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian workers had either hit another car, or just — I don't know what happened — but there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death. So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time I tasted fear. I musta' been about four — like a child is like a flower, his head is floating in the breeze, man.
