The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Put your heart back under your sleeve
Don't know what you want me to believe
You give me pink lies but black and white words
It's another play you want me to love
Hold your hand out to the dark
Because we're luck while
Oh my heart so drunk
It's my tale amid them all
So pull over
Let's watch the mountains burn
This is where I want to be
And let that sad sad song
That always plays in your head finally sleep
Does she sit and think of you?
Seems like that's what I always do
You're cloaked in red all drenched in blue
Tired of guessing what you feel
What is true
What is true
And what is real
You are so high up they can't see
You're hiding
You were so full of courage
Your actions still louder than them
So turn your back, hear it's crack
Now so glad next time
Borrow, please don't steal
If California calms the sparkle in your eyes
So who's the next, won't you break
Next to him, next to her
Don't walk over to me
Don't tell I'm not listening
It's only packing with the space
I've forgotten the shape now of your pretty face
Don't hold on to me right here
Hold my hand, we're almost to our castle now
Don't let the tumbleweeds here rest
Just feel the beating of our hearts inside our chests
I have seldom waited for you tonight for our love
But now we sleep in our dreams where our castle lies
Let's watch the mountains burn
This is where I want to be
And let that sad sad song
That always plays in your head finally die
Don't know what you want me to believe
You give me pink lies but black and white words
It's another play you want me to love
Hold your hand out to the dark
Because we're luck while
Oh my heart so drunk
It's my tale amid them all
So pull over
Let's watch the mountains burn
This is where I want to be
And let that sad sad song
That always plays in your head finally sleep
Does she sit and think of you?
Seems like that's what I always do
You're cloaked in red all drenched in blue
Tired of guessing what you feel
What is true
What is true
And what is real
You are so high up they can't see
You're hiding
You were so full of courage
Your actions still louder than them
So turn your back, hear it's crack
Now so glad next time
Borrow, please don't steal
If California calms the sparkle in your eyes
So who's the next, won't you break
Next to him, next to her
Don't walk over to me
Don't tell I'm not listening
It's only packing with the space
I've forgotten the shape now of your pretty face
Don't hold on to me right here
Hold my hand, we're almost to our castle now
Don't let the tumbleweeds here rest
Just feel the beating of our hearts inside our chests
I have seldom waited for you tonight for our love
But now we sleep in our dreams where our castle lies
Let's watch the mountains burn
This is where I want to be
And let that sad sad song
That always plays in your head finally die

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same 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."
