And this life I lead
Beyond my means
Jeans rolled up and blue

You made that face down by the market place
I didn't know what to do

It's you
It's you
It's only you
It's you
It's you
It's you

And pray to God the tides are low
You found my body on the shore
With pockets full of sand and stone
Cause I died from sailing alone

And this life I lead
It's wrong
It's cheap
I'm constantly wrapped up in blues

She slapped my face down by the marketplace
What the hell did I just do?

I lose
I lose
I always lose
I lose
I lose
I lose

And pray to God the tides are low
(Cause I died from sailing-)
You found my body on the shore
(Cause I died from sailing-)
With pockets full of sand and stone
Cause I died from sailing-

Pray to God the tides are low
(Cause I died from sailing-)
You found my body on the shore
(Cause I died from sailing-)
With pockets full of sand and stone
Cause I died from sailing 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."
