Live just like the humans and die just like the damned
Claim we never asked for a life that spelled the end, pretend
Greed will conquer we'll be buried and leave the world a cemetery
Fill the void and laugh it up till one day when the casket shuts
Dream a dream of end times a dream too sweet to end
Seasons never ending a wound to deep to mend, to mend
A coroner and a banker wait. Their jobs, they are the same
As the rest of us behave as prey with a debt they 'll never claim
Tumor spreading ramps it up. Medicate from a plastic cup
Peel the skin and cough it up until one day when the casket shuts

    it's an awesome song. maybe this one deals with nightmares or is it about our world - the reality - and dreams. i don't know what this song exactly means, but i love it. it could be about society and the escape to drugs....ok ok i'll stop my suspicions ;) stay cool ghoul

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."
