Start with a Sun and move on out
The future's in the skies above
The Heavens unfold and a new star is born
Space and time makin' love

Oh, what a time we had
Livin' underground
I move to station number five
See you next time around

Next time around
As far as you want and close as you need
It's all in your mind you know
This old Earth hasn't really seen it's day
It's here, time to go

Oh, what a time we had
Livin' underground
I move to station number five
See you next time around

I remember when it was so clear
We were young but the memory still remains
To pick fruit from a tree, fish from the seas
Now nothin's left here but the stains
But I can't cry no more, can only be glad
That there's other places we can be
If the time suites you right I'm leaving tonight
Come fly away with me, yeah, yeah

Start with a Sun and move on out
The future's in the skies above
The Heavens unfold and a new star is born
Space and time makin' love

Oh, what a time we had
Livin' underground
I move to station number five
See you next time around

Next time around, yeah, yeah

    Great song, on a great album. The future Earth is a waste land. Mankind has moved into space.

    Yeah, it’s similar to “After the Goldrush”, with Earth & nature getting wrecked by humans who leave for the stars. I like the impressionistic imagery, not overly technical but it gets the point across.

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."
