This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You'd be better if you had a steady gig.
You could tend bar,
be the one who turns the pig
over leaning flames and
embers red and low
as inspired by our neighbor volcano.
You'd be better off not working anymore.
Come on don't you wish you never tried?
You'd be better with your ankles tied.
Without death what is longevity?
Hawaii.
Angel hair, you said,
complaining to the chef.
Tie it back and throw away
whatever's left.
You'd be better pulling nails
out of the walls,
I'd be better jumping off of waterfalls.
But the office is a great big hug,
bars of light, the endless crew cut rug.
You call this an anniversary?
Hawaii!
Scent of doom came in the room
the talk shut off way too soon.
Passing time makes grit and grime
to keep you busy later.
The cameras are hanging
you're wearing a lei,
there's no need to move
for the rest of the day.
Arms getting soft
and the skin's coming off.
You're as tan as the past
and only hours away.
Get off your Parnassus, flee your Xanadu,
later El Dorado, none of you are true.
Heaven's cloudy, baby.
Hell is just too hot.
You'd be better getting on the plane.
Who knows when
we'll have the chance again?
Just like everywhere I've ever been.
Every man's an island, I'm seven.
You could tend bar,
be the one who turns the pig
over leaning flames and
embers red and low
as inspired by our neighbor volcano.
You'd be better off not working anymore.
Come on don't you wish you never tried?
You'd be better with your ankles tied.
Without death what is longevity?
Hawaii.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
