The world is paper thin
But it goes on when you give in
With a beauty for the living
Yest this land's been less forgiving
There's a cloud that holds no rain
It just hangs in constant pain
A relentless reminder of what lies on the horizon

Snow on these hills
This tree by the bank
Lights for the fallen give you their thanks
Lives on the way are breaking my heart
Tell me you're okay so far

Hey now, don't stare
Hey now, don't stare
Don't stare
Now stare
Hey now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare

I can still hear her singing now
A small voice my soul devoured
Yet her song is everlasting
Just a tale to ease her passing
Sing it loud my child for me
For I swear I do believe
After I stare after you too long
I'll lose the strength to move on

Snow on these hills
Tell me how far
We've come to find this
Find who we are

The light on this beach has broken my heart
Lives on the corner crawl

Hey now, don't stare
Hey now, don't stare
Don't stare
Now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare

Don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare

Still I search for things to say
Words to canonize these days
Can I ever hope to capture
The horror and the rapture

She fights with her will
Crawls through the dark
Laughs at the warnings
Cries when it's hard
Leaving alone is
Breaking your heart
Tell me you're okay

Hey now, don't stare
Hey now, don't stare
Don't stare
Now stare
Hey now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Don't stare
Don't stare

Hey now, don't stare
Hey now, don't stare
Don't stare
Now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
Hey now don't stare
And don't stare
And don't stare

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."
