"Hyacinth House" is a 1971 song by The Doors which appears on their final album with frontman Jim Morrison, L.A. Woman. The music was written by Ray Manzarek, while Morrison wrote the lyrics while at guitarist Robby Krieger's beach house; though the song's writing credits are additionally credited to Krieger and drummer John Densmore. The lyrics. "I see the bathroom is clear/I think that somebody's near/I'm sure that someone is following me" could be a reference to the vocals of the album being recorded from the bathroom of The Doors Workshop studio for a fuller effect.
