I sold my soul for a one night stand
I followed Alice into Wonderland
I ate the mushroom and I danced with the queen
Yeah we danced in between all the lines
I followed daylight right into the dark
Took to the Hatter like a walk in the park
But then I met her yeah she felt so right
No child of the night yeah was she
They called her sunshine
The kind that everybody knows...yeah yeah
Sunshine
She finer than a painted rose...yeah yeah
Sunshine...yeah
Her kind of love's what I adore
What kind of trouble am I in for
My kinda heaven lies at hell's back door
And I got more than I need
'Cuz I need sunshine
The kind that everybody knows...yeah yeah
My sunshine
She finer than a painted rose...yeah yeah
Sunshine...yeah
Fffff...I got the karma but it don't come free
I'll chase that rabbit up her booty tree
The caterpillar's tryin' to cop a plea
But the smoke ain't got nothin' on me
Ya gotta have my sunshine
The kind that everybody knows...yeah yeah
The sunshine
She finer than a painted rose...yeah yeah
Sunshine
The kind that everybody knows...yeah yeah
My sunshine
She finer than a painted rose... yeah yeah
Sunshine
Sunshine...yeah

    it's fairly obvious that this song is about being on a trip (drugs), but sunshine isn't a girl, it's either heroin or lsd, I can't remember what drug they said it was. I'm sure I heard Steve Tyler say so in an interview. It makes sense if you think about it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
