I want to top the rose petals that whisper sweet
Come on

So dark, dark, so dark
So dark, dark, so dark

Inside lookin' out my window
I don't see nothin' but rain
Sun up in the sky just a shinin' (just a shinin')
Still, I'm lost in my shadow of pain

Like an innocent man that's on death row
I don't understand what made you go
And want to leave me, baby
Leave me in the dark

Can you tell me, tell me?

You took my sex and my money (money)
Took all my self-esteem, yes, you did
You had the nerve to think it was funny (funny)
I never knew a bitch so mean, oh, yes sir

You absolutely drove a man to tears
All I really know is that you sincerely
You want to hurt me, baby, oh yes, you do
You want to hurt me in the dark

(Sunshine) somebody make the sun shine
(Dark cloud) somebody take this dark cloud away

Just as sure as Noah built the ark
That's how sure
That's how sure I am you broke my heart

How could you, baby, leave me in the dark?
Baby,
Ooh, so dark
So dark, dark, so dark
Feel like the sun ain't never gonna shine
You left me in the dark
So dark, dark, so dark
I don't know, I don't know why we ever had to part
Baby, can't see a damn thing out my window it's so dark (so dark)
(So dark, dark, so dark)

Ooh, sometimes I want to curse the ground you walk on
Even when I know that everything you feel I feel it to
I want to curse you, baby
Ooh
You left me in the dark
And now I want to, I want to curse you, baby
For leavin' me alone, alone, alone
You left me in the dark, oh yes, you did
And now all I want to say is

In the dark
Ow, ah, you left me
Ow, huh, you left me
It's like bein' on death row (in the dark)
I don't understand why you had to go
I don't understand why you (hurt me in the dark)
Don't understand why you (hurt me in the dark)
Don't understand why you hurt me (hurt me, hurt me)
Hurt me (hurt me in, hurt me in)
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me (hurt me in the dark)
Just leave me
In the dark
In the dark

So dark, dark, so dark (in the dark)
So dark, dark, so dark
In the dark

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

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."
