we
are starving
and you are the one
to drain the liquid from my lungs

the only dream
i can remember...
i'm facing you.
we closed our eyes
and took off our shoes.
i ran my hand along your spine
and flushed the poison rotting in mine.

so its up the stairs
and to the right,
i see wasted hours
i feel that night.

pinned down to the floor,
my pride in hand.
i fought and fought,
my dignity and...

the beauty that neglects my feelings
hangs from my bedroom ceiling.
this love we speak cries one is fleeting,
my masochistic form of healing

we
are starving
and you are the one
to drain the liquid from my lungs

when it wasnt fun,
we pretended like it was.
five steps behind a broken track,
i struggled just because.

the weight of our time
hangs down past my chin.
my hair is so long my dear,
i'm getting quite thin.

and so i pull the light
from a single cloud.
i defended your name,
i swore by it aloud.

what did you do. (you are what i need,
what did you do. but not quite yet)
you saved face,
and left it to me to pull through.

we are starving and you are the one
to drain the liquid from my lungs

i am sheltered,
i am cold.
i fell for love
and a story told.

under this early summer's tree,
i feel a chill come over me..
and i lay my back onto the ground
with open arms for the second round.

we are starving and you are the one
to drain the liquid from my lungs

i am sheltered
i am cold

i fell for love
i fell for love
i fell for you
i fell for you

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
