Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Woke up, I was on top of the world
There was a beautiful girl in the bed beside me
I rolled over got a kiss on the ear
She said "Listen up dear, there’s a change inside me."
Can’t say how frightened I am
How unenlightened I am
As I run for cover
Can’t say how happy I am to be wrong
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time hallelujah
She’s on time
And it’s the safest time of the month they say for love
We move in a mysterious way
Cause when some holiday
I’d say we work harder
Not happy with a hug and a kiss
Although most stop here
We go much much farther
We can’t stop foolin around
On the bed, on the ground on the bathroom counter
We can’t stop when all her systems are go
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time hallelujah
She’s on time
And it’s the safest time of the month they say for love
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
Shes on time hallelujah
Shes on time
And it’s the greatest time of the month for making love
Between you and me, how happy we’ll be
Repeating the cycle permanently
But where will we be when baby makes three?
I know that in a couple of years
I might lay down my fears and get psyched about it
Give in with out an ounce of regret
Trying not to forget what I liked about it
One day I might look like a fool
With a yard and a pool and a station wagon
Till’ then I get down on my knees everyday to pray
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time hallelujah
She’s on time
And it’s the safest time of the month they say for love
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time hallelujah
She’s on time
And it’s the greatest time of the month for making love
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
"Where’s the drummer?"
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time hallelujah
She’s on time
And it’s the greatest time of the month for making love
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
There was a beautiful girl in the bed beside me
I rolled over got a kiss on the ear
She said "Listen up dear, there’s a change inside me."
Can’t say how frightened I am
How unenlightened I am

Can’t say how happy I am to be wrong

And it’s the greatest time of the month for making love
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time
She’s on time

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Isn't that a great feeling?
this song is so great.....just too bad its not on an album
it has a very obvious meaning....I like this song alot
It is a great song, and it is on an album. The limited edition release of 'Stunt'. There is also the other song 'Long Way Back Home' on that album as well.
Does anyone else find it a little disconcerting to hear this song at the end of Stunt, right after the Ode to a New Baby that is "When You Dream?"
remember though, it's not on the ordinary version of the album, so it's not typically the song the album would end with, it's a bonus track, after all. So you have to give it credit and note that technically it's not part of the album and so it should not affect 'When You Dream' ...but it is weird to have this song following that one...seems almost contradicting
A good song, even if the theme is a bit disgusting which prevents this from being a great radio hit. This song is embodies why BNL is a great band. A fun, great tune, well written song with a clever but understandable meaning.
I don't know... I just love it. It still makes me laugh.
