Can you tell that I'm planning prevenge?
Read my mind, yes, I'm planning prevenge
At the freak show,
In the front row,
Mi amigo,
Lost in the sound.

Now you know that the girls are just making it up,
Now you know that the boys are just pushing their luck
Now you know that my ride doesn't really exist,
And my name's not really on that list.

Can you tell that I'm planning prevenge?
Read my mind, yes, I'm planning prevenge

Fully moto
On the headfo
Rock the info
The micro-type king

Calling Mr. Pupkin
To join us at the love-in
Because Pupkin comes alive
When prevenge is the plan
See Pupkin take the stand.

Tired of waiting,
Tired of watching,
Negotiating,
Parading around.

Now you know that the girls are just making it up,
Now you know that the boys are just pushing their luck,
Now you know that my ride doesn't really exist,
And my name's not really on that list.

Can you tell that I'm planning prevenge?
Read my mind, yes, I'm planning prevenge,
At the freak show,
In the front row,
Mi amigo,
Lost in the sound.

    "Can you tell that I'm planning prevenge? Read my mind, yes, I'm planning prevenge At the freak show In the front row Mi amigo lost in the sound"

    A guy goes to a concert with a friend, his friend goes in first, he gets left behind likely because he's either underage or doesn't have a ticket, he can't get a hold of his friend because his friend can't hear him over the sound of the concert.

    "Now you know that the girls are just making it up Now you know that the boys are just pushing their luck Now you know that my ride doesn't really exist And my name's not really on that list"

    The girls get in easily because the ticket checkers are likely male. The boys line makes sense in the next verse, I have no idea about the ride, maybe his friend isn't actually there but he's trying to get in anyway by lying. His name isn't on the list of people to let in.

    "Fully moto On the headfo Rock the info The micro-type king"

    I have no idea

    I also have no idea about the Pupkin part

    "Tired of waiting Tired of watching Negotiating Parading around"

    He's tried everything and still sticks around either waiting for his friend or waiting in hopes of the guards softening up

    So, summary: Guy goes to a concert, is pissed that he can't get in, is already planning a way to get back at his friend for leaving him behind.

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."
