@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
There is something strange down by the cemetery
Emptying the graves left and right
Ghastly schemes and ghoulish undertakings
Underneath the pale moonlight
Curse the day they invented the crematory
What a foolish waste of potential sales
Its a damn shame to discard inventory
Think outside the box if all else fails
Death is my business and business is good!
Theres a grave robber at large
Ripping bodies from hallowed ground
Desecrate those who rest in peace
Theres profit to be made from the recent deceased
Skeletal remains are safe in the ossuary
Theyre quite stale and not worth a dime
Dont think me a fiend, this is strictly monetary
Fortune calls and Ill answer this time.
In this occupation timing is instrumental
A matter of hours can plummet the price
The fact its a crime is simply incidental
Freshness is key, nothing else will suffice
Death is my business and business is good!
Theres a grave robber at large
Ripping bodies from hallowed ground
Desecrate those who rest in peace
Theres profit to be made from the recent deceased
Midnight meetings inside the graveyard
Crunching numbers, breaking the earth
Im not afraid to get my hands dirty
Even if things seem a bit perverse
Though these deeds weigh heavy on my soul
I will no doubt sleep perfectly sound
While you struggle to keep your conscience
A garden of riches rots in the ground
Death is my business and business is good!
Theres a grave robber at large
Ripping bodies from hallowed ground
Desecrate those who rest in peace
Theres profit to be made from the recent deceased
Death is my business and business is good
Emptying the graves left and right
Ghastly schemes and ghoulish undertakings
Underneath the pale moonlight
Curse the day they invented the crematory
What a foolish waste of potential sales
Its a damn shame to discard inventory
Think outside the box if all else fails
Death is my business and business is good!
Theres a grave robber at large

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."

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
It reminds me of those two men who killed people and sold their bodies, but one was caught and one set free once they was caught. I can't remember their name or when it happened ssdly.
