(One, two, three)
(At the top?)

Lipstick junkie
Debunked the all in one
She came back wearing a smile

Looking like someone drugged me
That wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial
It's just a turnaround
And we go, oh
Well, then we go uh, uh, uh, uh

Tick-tock, I want to rock you like the '80s
Cock blocking isn't allowed

Tugboat Sheila is into memorabilia
Who said three is a crowd
We better get it on the go

Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud

I said, hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud

Rain dance Maggie
Advances to the final
Who knew that she had the goods

Little did I know
Her body was one delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods
I want to lick a little bit

Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud

We've got the wrong girl
But not for long, girl
It's in the song, girl
'Cause I'll be gone, girl

Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud

I said, hey now
I want to rock this rowdy crowd
She told me to
And showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud

But not for long, girl
It's in the song, girl
'Cause I'll be gone, bye-bye-bye, yeah
Bye-bye-bye, girl

Bye-bye, girl
Bye-bye, girl
Bye-bye

    This song to me is a healthy mix between the old peppers and the new peppers. Sure it has its Flea bass lines which might remind people of "Behind the Sun" or "Higher Ground." It has the famous Kiedis lyrics that continually walk the line between enlightenment and obscurity. Chad's drum remind me of Iron's Drums from The Uplift Mofo Party Plan--Subterranean Homesick Blues or Skinny Sweaty Man. They have a synthy feel and sound. I think Josh is a great replacement for John. He has already played with the peppers so he knows how they are going to work. I have a feeling that if anyone else would have started playing with them would have been lost in the ether. The guitar does not lead this song. It plays second (and maybe even third) to original members Anthony and Flea.

    I think this is what the song is about. It is the peppers acknowledging and honoring their past. They are saluting what they have done and thanking their fans for coming with them for such a long time.

    "Tic-toc, I want to rock you like the 80s"-----Peppers start in 80s.

    "Cock-blocking isn't allowed. Tug boat sheila is into memorabilia" and "Little did I know her body was one delicious vinyl To your neck of the woods I want to lick a little bit"-----Thanks to Anthony for being a perpetual sexual being.

    "Hey now I want to rock this valley crowd She told me to"------Here you go fans. This is a song for you.

    This song is about the mixing of old and new peppers!

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
