that's the come up,
you either get down or you get up...
the world is yours (everything they don't take).
the skin is real (but the feelings are fake).
i can lie myself to a retirement home.
we're gods of bacteria 'til we dissolve.
if i wake up crying, there's nothing wrong.
if i wake up with you standing on my chest,
i'll cut myself open and swallow you up.
you wouldn't know love, you rent all your drama
and re-enact the happy endings all to yourself.
if we walk the same plank and draw the same blanks
in empty space where people grow old
and i find these notes hidden under stones i turn...
this one says, "spawn some seedlings before the end of the world."
call me back when alone
but i can't find some numbers or some space, some room to grow.
hope a room to think positive thoughts with someone else's decisions.
changing channels on someone i tolerate.
the last safe place out of my arms reach
that's my rich man's death bed where life is a comic book.
my doctor's a comedian and tells me i'm dying.
like i don't already know, doc. where's my trophy?
i'm too sober for my own good.
dead to the world, 'cept my family and friends.
you had your chance, now, this is what you do with it.
blow me away, blow me away, blow me away, blow me away
to another day, loc.
'cause i'm feeling loc'd than a motherfucker. that ain't no joke.
i'm just a pawn in the game, a pawn in the game, a pawn in the game...

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."
