I woke up late today face first on the floor,
Put on the same clothes as yesterday and the day before.
I greet the new day with an enthusiastic "so what?".
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

Turned out pockets, Burned out life,
Concerned about nothing 'til you caught my eye,
And as long as I got you girl, my future's bright.
So can you spot me a five?
Can you spot me a ten?
It should come as no surprise but baby,
I'm broke again.

And you can be my wheelchair.
You can help me get by and you can help me get through.
And when I finally get out there (out there)
And do something worthwhile then I'll owe it all to you.

(Owe it all, owe it all to you)
(Owe it all, owe it all to you)
I know you appreciate everything I do,
I know that you love me and you know that IOU
I thought I could stand on my own two feet but I guess that I was wrong.
I borrowed, I begged, I stole, I got nothing from anyone until you came along.

Can you give me a push? Can you give me a shove?
What a life, (what a life)
And I'm just along for the ride.

And you can be my wheelchair.
You can help me get by and you can help me get through.
And when I finally get out there (out there)
And do something worthwhile then I'll owe it all to you.

(You don't need) anything, anything from me,
(But I'm not) what you think, what you think you see,
I'll pay you back, I swear.
Until then you can be (until then you can be) my wheelchair.

(Owe it all, owe it all to you)
(Owe it all, owe it all to you)
(Owe it all, owe it all to you)
(Owe it all)
I woke up late today with one hell of a buzz,
I looked around her room and I didn't know where I was.
I greet the new day with an enthusiastic "so what?".
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
So can you spot me a five?
Can you spot me a ten?
It should come as no surprise but baby,
I'm broke again.

And you can be my wheelchair.
You can help me get by and you can help me get through.
And when I finally get out there (out there)
And do something worthwhile then I'll owe it all to you.
You can be my wheelchair.
You can help me get by and you can help me get through.
And you can help me get out there
And do something worthwhile then I'll owe it all to you.

(You don't need) anything, anything from me,
But I'll pay you back, I swear.
Until then you can be (until then you can be).

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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."
