This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Staring off from the library window
The pictures of girlfriends taped to the windshieds of the cars
That sit in the back lot
Nothing you can do no matter how hard you try
So don't take long for her new friends to realize what a bitch
That you are
Staring off from the library window
The roar of the engines feeding the egos of those perched
On top of the cars
Not that you'd notice, not that I'm standing
Well I'm sorry if I've been demanding a lot
From you lately
Stop it before I get too far
Stop before I stop and call
Run off to the phone with a load of cash
Think about all your friends
And anyone that hasn't left you yet
They will
It won't take long
But they'll all disappear
Why'd you lie to me
You always lied to me
You had to lie to me
So why'd you lie to
You always lied to me
The bitch she lies to me
You always lied to me
You had to lie to
To me
I couldn't help that you're infected
With all the things I injected to your veins
When you're asleep
Standing out on the ledge of the window
The role of the crowd is gathering below to collect
My bruised and battered self
What makes use of movie stars?
Caviar and films and cars
Teenage day parade
Try to think about all the warmth and anything that ever helps you out
Is gone
That's all right
Because you should just get out
Why'd you lie to me
You always lied to me
You had to lie to me
The bitch she lies to me
You always lied to me
You had to lie to
You had to lie to
You had to lie
To me
The pictures of girlfriends taped to the windshieds of the cars
That sit in the back lot
Nothing you can do no matter how hard you try
So don't take long for her new friends to realize what a bitch
That you are
Staring off from the library window
The roar of the engines feeding the egos of those perched
On top of the cars
Not that you'd notice, not that I'm standing
Well I'm sorry if I've been demanding a lot
From you lately
Stop it before I get too far
Stop before I stop and call
Run off to the phone with a load of cash
Think about all your friends
And anyone that hasn't left you yet
They will
It won't take long
But they'll all disappear
Why'd you lie to me
You always lied to me
You had to lie to me
So why'd you lie to
You always lied to me
The bitch she lies to me
You always lied to me
You had to lie to
To me
I couldn't help that you're infected
With all the things I injected to your veins
When you're asleep
Standing out on the ledge of the window
The role of the crowd is gathering below to collect
My bruised and battered self
What makes use of movie stars?
Caviar and films and cars
Teenage day parade
Try to think about all the warmth and anything that ever helps you out
Is gone
That's all right
Because you should just get out
Why'd you lie to me
You always lied to me
You had to lie to me
The bitch she lies to me
You always lied to me
You had to lie to
You had to lie to
You had to lie
To me

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
this is a really good song. hey guys sorry i really didn't know all the lyrics but i tried my best to get all of what i could cuz i'm sure all of you have been trying to figure them out. me n all my friends would always try so i got everything i could. some may be wrong n if u know the right ones feel free to correct them. sorry about the ?? i can't figure out what conner says there. this is an awsm song. i love it but they get a little crazy in here. lol.
this was the first commander venus/conor oberstian song i ever heard. i could have sworn it was a girl singing.
Yeah. In his pre-puberty stage, his voice was really high pitched. I like it alot though.
this is a guy? whoa..i love this song anyways! got it by mistake, and i'm glad! it was on a cursive cd my friend made for me, and by god it's a sexxxy song! "and anyone who hasn't left you yet--they will." <--mmm
hahaha oh my god that's conor? yeah, i saw on saddle-creek, it said conor oberst was in the band, but then i just figured someone messed up the song title on kazaa.
it's pretty easy to tell it is him though because of the way he sings. even though it's extremely high pitched. haha. this song could be one of the reasons why he doesn't care to talk about commander venus anymore. i like it though.
"Tearing out in the match of the window" I always thought that verse was "standing out on the ledge of the window" but i dunno!
i think it says "i tore it out and shook it infected with the outerspace then i enjected it into your veins when you were asleep! standing out on the ledge of the window the role of the crowd is gathering below to collect my bruised and battered self"
i agree with btownmeggy. nice song.
if this is Conor singing lead, who's singing in the background? It's quite possible he recorded this and then recorded backround a few years later... IM me - Lynzd4221 I love his voice.
