Wanna dance with me, you best know your place
Look around, think you've lost your way
I play no games, I've got many names
Wanna swim in fire, don't take all day
Jump on me and don't be afraid
Still got time to walk away
Lucifer, Leviathan (yeah)
He is I, girl, and I am him

Yeah
Be careful, you don't want this
Carefree, but there's a dark side that haunts this
Paparazzi gossip, loves to watch this
But drugs take me away when I pop this
Rock 'n Roll, lifestyle at a fast pace
'Rari like a NASCAR in a drag race
Zoom, zoom, why the fuck are you in last place?
Need to catch up, where I'm at, that's a fast chase
Uh, take a shot 'cause you're drinking slow
Pour a glass, but nothing's chasing my whiskey though
So, if you didn't know now, I'm a savage
And this has already been established
Your friends tried to dip, but you here, you're not trying to go
If you ain't ready for it all, good, let me know
I looked her in her eyes, she stared back all silent
When I told her I'm the devil, I was smiling

Wanna dance with me, you best know your place
Look around, think you've lost your way
I play no games, I've got many names
Wanna swim in fire, don't take all day
Jump on me and don't be afraid
Still got time to walk away
Lucifer, Leviathan
He is I, girl, and I am him

Lucifer
And I am him

Drugs on the table on a Wednesday
Long nights and Advil for the next day
You'd be scared if you listen what you're friends say
The worst thing to happen to you, in the best way
Yeah, but no lie, you're attracted to it
A good girl, but you're scared that it's bad to do it
Life in sin, every night we get back into it
But, see, I live in this place, you just passin' through it
Welcome to my world, let me walk you through it
If you step inside the Matrix, ain't no dodgin' bullets
Ain't no fairy-tale, welcome to the darker side
Moon rocks, a glass of water, now she on a ride
Yeah, she's like "damn, y'all are wildin'"
We live a little different, living on my own island
But clearly it's working 'cause the money keep piling
When I told her I'm the devil, I was smiling

Dance with me, you best know your place
Look around, think you've lost your way
I play no games, I've got many names
Wanna swim in fire, don't take all day
Jump on me and don't be afraid
Still got time to walk away
Lucifer, Leviathan
He is I, girl, and I am him

Lucifer
And I am him

Lucifer, Leviathan
He is I, girl, and I am him

It's a monster, it's not safe here
Run for the hills, but not these hills
Land of after-parties and the cheap thrills
Liquor red cups, endless refills
Weed, cocaine, molly, E-pills
Looks sweet, but the devil's in the details
The flow switch pace when the beat builds

Lucifer

Dance with me, you best know your place
Look around, think you've lost your way
I play no games, I've got many names
Wanna swim in fire, don't take all day
Jump on me and don't be afraid
Still got time to walk away
Lucifer, Leviathan
He is I, girl, and I am him

    I think this song means making a deal with the devil, meaning dancing with the devil and knowing your place to get out of hell, the part of I have many names meaning the devil is known by many names,

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."
