I found God
I found him in a lover
When his hair falls in his face
And his hands so cold they shake

I found the Devil
I found him in a lover
And his lips like tangerine
In his color coded speak

Now we're lost somewhere in outer space
In a hotel room where demons play
They run around beneath our feet
We roll around beneath these sheets

I've got a lover a love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down

I've got a lover and I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this price
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down

I found a martyr
He told me that I'd never
With his educated eyes
And his head between my thighs

I found a savior
I don't think he remembers
'Cause he's off to pay his crimes
And he's got no time for mine

Now we're lost somewhere in outer space
In a hotel room where demons play
They run around beneath our feet
We roll around beneath these sheets

I've got a lover a love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down

I've got a lover and I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this price
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down

Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down

Every single night pray the sun will rise
Every single time make a compromise
Every single night pray the sun will rise, but

It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down

I've got a lover a love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down

I've got a lover and I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this price
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down

Every single night pray the sun will rise
Every single time make a compromise
Every single night pray the sun will rise, but

He's coming down, down, I'm coming down
He's coming down, down, I'm coming down

It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
He's coming down, down, I'm coming down

It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
He's coming down, down, I'm coming down

    My Interpretation

    To me its talking about an unhealthy relationship. This love or relationship is compared to religion and the act of sex or giving one's body to someone is the sacrifice the guy/religion requires. It seems that the relationship is very one sided. Its like she wants to please this person but after the act she feels empty and gets nothing from it while the guy gets what he wanted, but she acknowledges her mistake for doing it despite knowing better.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
