Spiky lady shiny queen don't you tell them what you've seen
Plastic people silicon never let them in your home
Don't become a middle man keep your mouth shut if you can
Don't you tell them what you know they will go anyway the wind blows
Be my best friend be my baby I'll be there for you maybe
Don't get on the roller coaster ya burn your fingers on the toasters
Just a fair weather friend gone when the summer end
They will look into your eyes tell you pretty perfume lies
Slinky slimy lotus eaters Jeepers Creepers get a load of those peepers
Talking all that mumbo jumbo people pass in solo limbo
See them slip see them slide but have you seen the nasty side
With all the smiling and kissing listen to the hiss hiss hissing
She slip she slide she don't know why she hide
Dizzy little missy with a twinkle in her eye bye bye
Finger lickin' good kill you if she could dig it when you're down send in the clown
Don't let them poke don't let them peek their friendly chat is cheap
You look so fine you look so hip you're styling makes me trip
Take your place if they could these are the people in your neighborhood
She slips she slides she don't know why she hide
Poking peeking sneaking cheating sniffing sliding
A running and hiding
Creeping crawling feeling and mauling
Fickle little tickles brains like pickles
She slip she slides she don't know why she hide
Dizzy little missy with a twinkle in her eye bye bye
Finger lickin' good kill you if she could dig it when you're down send in the clown
She slip she slid she don't know why she hide
Dizzy little missy with a twinkle in her eye bye bye
Finger lickin' good kill you if she could dig it when you're down send in the clown

    It's all about really fake people. About a girl who does all these things to fit in with people and discovers how backstabbing and manipulative they are.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
