Jesus Christ, girl
What are people gonna think
When I show up to one of several funerals
I've attended for grandpa this week
With you
With me
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig
Jesus Christ, girl
It hasn't been long so it seems
Since I was picking out an island and a tomb for you
At the Hollywood Cemetery
You kiss
On me
We should let this dead guy sleep
We should let this dead guy sleep
Jesus Christ, girl
I laid up for hours in a daze
Retracing the expanse of your American back
With Adderall and weed in my veins
You came
I think
'Cause the marble made my cheeks look pink
But I'm unsure of so many things
Ooh
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig
What are people gonna think
When I show up to one of several funerals
I've attended for grandpa this week
With you
With me
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig
Jesus Christ, girl
It hasn't been long so it seems
Since I was picking out an island and a tomb for you
At the Hollywood Cemetery
You kiss
On me
We should let this dead guy sleep
We should let this dead guy sleep
Jesus Christ, girl
I laid up for hours in a daze
Retracing the expanse of your American back
With Adderall and weed in my veins
You came
I think
'Cause the marble made my cheeks look pink
But I'm unsure of so many things
Ooh
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
great song, thanks for the lyrics! I wonder what's the meaning of "you came, i think, cause the marble made my cheeks look pink" though. Does anybody know?
i think it means they were having sex and his face was pressed against a marble floor
This verse contrasts with the other verses in that the other verses are all about the girl being dead and the speaker mourning while this one is about her being alive. The verse is really graphic and visceral, portraying the physical intimacy of fascination with his lover's body and the feeling of party drugs. Everything is very physical, note the way he mentions the drugs are in his veins to underscore that they are alive.<br /> <br /> In this context, "you came" definitely seems to refer to his lover having an orgasm. The marble making his cheeks look pink suggests a couple things. First, it sets up the contrast between cold, colorless marble and the color in the face of a living person. This underscores the life of this verse but also ties it back to the overall theme of the song which is a woman who is now buried beneath a slab of cold colorless marble. Second, a flushed face is a symptom both of physical exertion and sexual arousal- so he is saying they exhausted each other having sex. Because the sex was exhausting he knows they were both really into it and assumes she came.
The liner notes have this handy footnote:<br /> <br /> Because the marble made my cheeks look pink -- <br /> As in, she says, "The cold marble grave we're on makes your, admittedly dry and ashen face, seem actually pretty rosy, so you'll do."
His cheeks may be his other cheeks... as in his BUTT cheeks- would make sense if they're doing it in a cemetary- that his butt would be on a stone... hahaha. I love this song!
