Laid out, puking in the back of a fancy bar
You and your friend in the front booth
Laughing at my sweet naïveté
And its awkward gravity

Three years, I saw the decimation of the world in you
Messiah complex lead a fickle flu
To see it's antidote and end in you
But now I'm gonna leave you

Eloise, Eloise
You never meant that much to me
Baby, please let go, my Eloise
Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me
My Eloise, you took the world from me

So beautiful, the ugliness within you
Last of three, baby of the family
Spoiled to bits and rotten to the shining core you
And mad with power I've seen corrupt
The leaders of a nation
Stricken with the sickly imitation of a love
The Lord would never stitch
You've got my cake. It's time to dine on the rich

Eloise, Eloise
You never meant that much to me
Baby, please let go, my Eloise
Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me
My Eloise

Band-Aid. Just a bloody Band-Aid.
That's all I ever really was to you, Eloise:
(You can't take when you gave it away.)
Just a solider with a syndrome and dreams of children's screams
You molded. You shaped like a god who loathes to create
(You can't take when you never want to give it away.)
Band-Aids. Two infected Band-Aids.
That's all we were to each other, Eloise
(You can't take it away.)
Just a couple of stupid kids throwing a ball back and forth
Just to see who drops it first
(So now I feel like a child again.)
Well, think fast, killer.

Eloise, Eloise
You never meant that much to me
Baby, please let go, my Eloise
Let it bleed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me
My Eloise, you took the world from me
You took the world from me
You took the world from me
You took the world from me
You took the world from me

    My Interpretation

    I'm pretty sure these are the correct lyrics... just wrote them out:

    Laid out, puking in the back of a fancy bar. You and your friends in the front booth, laughing at my sweet naivety; and its awkward gravity. Three years, saw the decimation of the world in you. Messiah complex led a fickle flu, to see its antidote and end in you... and now I’m gonna leave you.

    Eloise, Eloise, you never meant that much to me Baby please let go, my Eloise Let it breed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me. My Eloise, you talk the world from me.

    So beautiful, the ugliness within you. Last of three, baby of the family; spoiled to bits, and rotten to the shining core of you. And mad with power I’ve seen corrupt, the leaders of this nation Stricken with, the sickly imitation of a love, the Lord would never stitch You’ve got my cake, it’s time to dine on the rich

    Eloise, Eloise, you never meant that much to me Baby please let go, my Eloise Let it breed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me. My Eloise, you talk the world from me.

    [Spoke] Band-Aid, just a bloody Band-Aid. That’s all I ever really was to you Eloise. A soldier with a syndrome, the dreams of childrens’ screams. You molded, you shaped, like a god who loathed to create. Two Band-Aids, two infected Band-Aids, that’s all we really were to each other Eloise. A couple of stupid kids, throwing a ball back and forth, to see who drops it first!

    Eloise, Eloise, you never meant that much to me. Baby please let go, my Eloise Let it breed, let it freeze and fall apart in front of me. My Eloise, you talk the world from me. You talk the world from me You talk the world from me You talk the world from me You talk the world from 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."
