the slowest night
the slowest dance
you sway across the room as you dream
an empty house
with empty rooms
I loved you so
and now you're going
go, and leave if you must know
and go, I never wanted you to know
go
we ran away
or so we thought
now I know you were told to
go
to know love
to show love
and go
to give love
to feel loved
and go
I fell asleep
washed up on the shore
I kiss my [son Christopher?]
you move to speak
no words could reach me
at one, once knew
go, love, and learn by your desire
and know love
you're the only reason why
I'm terrified to go
to know love
to show love
go [go]
to give love
to feel loved
go [go]
to know love
to show love
I'm begging you to go

    Great song.

    The line is actually ' I kissed my St. Christoper' instead of 'Son Christopher.'

    I think at least part of the song is about James' relationship with Darcy - when he sings 'I'm begging you to go' at the end, it reminds me of an interview he gave about why Darcy left the band and how she had to leave for her own good.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
