Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Thank God it's Friday night and I
Just-just-just-just-just got paid
(Money, money, money, money)
yeah oh
Just got paid, Friday night
Party hopping, feeling right
Booties shaking, all around
Pump that jam, while I'm gettin' down
Check the mirror, looking fly
Round up the posse, jump in my ride
Radio rocking, hottest jam
Feel the rhythm, pump up the sound
Feeling so good
Don't you know, I'm just grooving to the beat
Grooving, yeah, grooving
oh, oh, oh, oh
Just got paid, Friday night
Party hopping, feeling right
Booties shaking, all around
Pump that jam, while I'm gettin' down
Yo some people say my solo is impossible
But when I get up on the mic, yo, I'm unstoppable
And it's probable when you hear our voices laid down
You'll be bopping your head to this ill tight sound
Now I know you thought you had me played (played)
Check is in the mail I got it made (made)
And if you'll notice my smile is like Kool-Aid
'Cause I just (just) got (got) paid (paid) uh
On the floor, rocking to the beat (rocking to the beat)
All ways, sure looks sweet (sweet thing)
Fine young lady, standing by (you look fine tonight)
Come on baby, sweet eye delight
I love the way that you move
Said, you look so sweet
When you're moving to the beat
I'm tired all these boring parties, baby
Why don't we get on down, let's get on down
Just got paid, Friday night
Party hopping, feeling right
Booties shaking, all around
Pump that jam, while I'm gettin' down

@[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
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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Johnny Kemp was about a million times better than this version. And, hell, I haven't even heard N*SYNC's version. Seriously, though..
That...definitely isn't JC rapping the part about being played and having it made and whatever. That'd be Chris. And the last part that Justin speaks is him saying "Eh, I'm broke."
