You're wasting all your time here
Riding around in the sun
Alone and idling, come wander back to me
You know I'll always be there

Lie to me lie to me
Make like you love me
Lie to me lie to me
Ohh, oh, ohh, ohh

But this one you'll never go
And this one you'll never show yourself
But this one you'll turn it off
And turn your world into a ghost town

Lie to me lie to me
Make like you love me
Lie to me c'mon it's easy
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh,

Don't think of what we can't be
I know what you need
And you know that you like it
The name you were born with
Is sewed on your sleeve
Let me believe in something

    This song means something really special to me. I associate it with a friend who left me. Sad. Haunting.

    Someone I love played this song for me before they acknowledged I also had feelings for them. Such a meaningful song to me.

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."
