Keeps them all waiting
They're standing in line
He never has to worry about being alone
He's taking his own sweet time

The man's mighty hot
Believe it or not
Every woman's after what the big boy's got
They know it's all a lie but they're taking their shot

He is such a smooth-talking man
They never want to let him go
He'll be gone when the morning comes
Then they'll be the first to know

It's just a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Well, it won't be the first
It definitely won't be the last one you make
Just a big mistake

Sooner or later they're gonna find out
He never cares about the hearts he's breaking tonight
He's letting it all hang out
The man's mighty tough
Better leave before it starts to get too rough

He such a smooth-talking man
They never want to let him go
He'll be gone when the morning comes
Then they'll be the first to know

It's a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Well, it won't be the first
It definitely won't be the last one you make

Such a big mistake
Just a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Such a big mistake

You might think you ought a call him Mr. Right
Baby you might get a big surprise tonight
You might think you ought a call him Mr. Right
Baby you might get a big surprise tonight

In the morning when you find him gone
It's a big mistake
You know you've been lied to
In the morning when you know you're wrong
Such a big mistake
There's no one to cry to

In the morning when you find him gone
It's a big mistake
You know you've been lied to
In the morning when you're so alone
Such a big mistake
When you're so alone

In the morning when you find him gone
In the morning when you know you're wrong
In the morning when you find him gone
In the morning you'll be so alone, so alone

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."
