I’ve grown skinny in new york city
Its okay, I’m back home sleep til, noon listening to shape shifters
on my way to borrow foreign movies from the library
Did they teach you French in new york?
Did I learn to shave my face close with dial soap and a butter knife?
How to slickly wipe a sweaty palm on your pants thigh before shaking hands firm with the shadiest show promoters?
You know its hard
You know its hard
You know its hard
You know its hard for a single person to fold queen size bed sheets
You left my hat in the backseat
You left your hat the backseat
You might come back
To go back to school, Get a job downtown
Its cool
Just make sure to get out of here by December
Go to California, go to Hawaii
Cincinnati sucks in the winter
You know that like the bump on the back of your neck
it sucks the leaves from the trees
And by the time the snows melting
They always find four or five hanging by belts
from the train trestles or in empty parking lots
Slit wrists, slit wrists
I know, I know
all beautiful places are prone to natural disaster
Its okay, I’m back home sleep til, noon listening to shape shifters
on my way to borrow foreign movies from the library
Did they teach you French in new york?
Did I learn to shave my face close with dial soap and a butter knife?
How to slickly wipe a sweaty palm on your pants thigh before shaking hands firm with the shadiest show promoters?
You know its hard
You know its hard
You know its hard
You know its hard for a single person to fold queen size bed sheets
You left my hat in the backseat
You left your hat the backseat
You might come back
To go back to school, Get a job downtown
Its cool
Just make sure to get out of here by December
Go to California, go to Hawaii
Cincinnati sucks in the winter
You know that like the bump on the back of your neck
it sucks the leaves from the trees
And by the time the snows melting
They always find four or five hanging by belts
from the train trestles or in empty parking lots
Slit wrists, slit wrists
I know, I know
all beautiful places are prone to natural disaster

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
