He's just another victim of the system's bloody knife
A problem evader an escapee of life
A temporary soma not yet prescribed
Has stripped him of ego with each lungful imbibed

Get your mind-set altered here I will provide you with some fantastic gear
Up down sideways forward and back our children submit to lysergic attack

Hiding in tantric mesmerized trances
As the warehouse lightshow flickers and dances
Synapses snap as his madness advances
Leaving him open to paranoid fancies

Lost in the garden of fantastic mind
I'm leaving my ego and body behind
Trails of false images hang in the air
The smell of strange colours are heard everywhere
Over the rainbow and into the light
I'm orbiting slowly, I'm high as a kite
Can't remember my name anymore
Everything's changed since I opened the door

Get out demons get out controlling my brain
Freak out healing freak out going insane
Hit out feelings hit out cannot explain
Reach out reeling reach out calling my name

For twenty-four hours time has no meaning
But several days later kicking and screaming
With delusions of grandeur and one o'clock fit
A family signed section has caught me in the net
Can't seem to regain control of my fears
The world's receding and leaving me here

Get out demons get out controlling my brain
Freak out healing freak out going insane
Hit out feelings hit out cannot explain
Reach out reeling reach out calling my name

A shot of the hard stuff makes him tranquil and straight
No danger to public, himself or the state
Under sedation he won't shed no tears
Inwardly tortured by demonic fears

Can't remember my name anymore
Everything's changed since I opened the door

Get out demons get out controlling my brain
Freak out healing freak out going insane
Hit out feelings hit out cannot explain
Reach out reeling reach out calling my name

Ravers, gyrators heaving with sweat
Have you tried any good ecstasy yet?
If you don't wind up sleeping in gardens of stone
You'll be a new person if you ever get home

For the sake of your sanity, family and friends
Leave subconscious travelling to gurus and men
Who're prepared for the journey with no beginning or end
'Cause a mind that is broken is a hard thing to mend

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."
