Has anybody here seen Razor Face
I heard he's back looking for a place to lay down
Must be getting on
Needs a man who's young to walk him round
Needs a man who's young to walk him round

Oh it must be hard for the likes of you to get by
In a world that you just can't see through
And it looks so cold
How does it feel to know you can't go home
How does it feel to know you can't go home

Come on Razor Face my old friend
I'll meet you down by the Truck Stop Inn
With a bottle of booze in the back of my car
You're a song on the lips of an aging star

Razor Face, ooo amazing grace
Protects you like a glove
And I'll never learn the reason why
I love your Razor Face

Has anybody here seen Razor Face
I heard he's back looking for a place to lay down
Must be getting on
Needs a man who's young to walk him round
Needs a man who's young to walk him round

Come on Razor Face my old friend
I'll meet you down by the Truck Stop Inn
With a bottle of booze in the back of my car
You're a song on the lips of an aging star

Razor Face, ooo amazing grace
Protects you like a glove
And I'll never learn the reason why
I love you Razor Face, woo
Love you Razor Face
Love you Razor Face
Love you Razor Face
Love you Razor Face, woo
I just love you Razor Face, woo
Just love you Razor Face, woo
Razor Face

    I have always felt that "Razor Face" was an old jazz musician nickname.

    "Heard he's back, lookin' for a place, to lay down" A reference to being notable, yet poor. Relying on friends for shelter.

    "Must be getting on." He's not young

    "Needs a man who's young to walk him round" He's old & needs help to walk around.

    "Oh it must be hard for the likes of you" It really sucks being an aging musician without money.

    I feel that the song is about a bond of friendship between performers of different ages, not about sodomy, but every ear hears a song a little differently.

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."
