With your face turned to the bedroom-lamp,
You're sleeping
It's light a cheap replacement for the sun
And the pouring water in the pipes around us
Just like waves rolling to the shore
This is what you get
This is what you get
The plan's much bigger than you ever expected

But no one's gonna tell you you're not perfect
As you stand there with your head in a million pieces
And you know it's gonna be...

And every dream draws a picture of what you've seen
Mixed with what you want
So you'll think of me like I think of you,
Like a substitute for something
And then you'll laugh and say:

"I'm probably better off dead,
I'm probably dry all the way,
I'm probably boring you out
I'm probably locking you up, throwing the keys away
I'm probably the last thing you need on your mind.
I'm probably drunk by now
Probably laughing my head off
Without even noticing..."

But no one's gonna tell you you're not perfect
As you lay there with your heart in a million pieces
No, no one's gonna tell you it's not worth it
When you know it's gonna be
Allright

With your face turned to the bedroom-lamp,
You're sleeping
And as you fall, I watch with love

    I think it´s about two lovers who both know they´re not good for each other so they kinda break up even though they don´t want to. One of them get real upset, and says the "I´m probably..." sentenses, because it feels hopeless. The ending is about how he cares for her and that in his eyes, is she perfect. I think he also tries to say that she need to hang on and be strong because she´ll be ok.

    How I love this song. It went right into my heart the first time I heard it and it´s still stuck in there.

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."
