I can't feel this way much longer
Expecting to survive
With all these hidden innuendoes
Just waiting to arrive
It's such a wavy midnight
When you slip into insane
Electric angel rock and roller
I hear what you're playing

Chorus:
It's an orangey sky
Always it's some other guy
It's just a broken lullaby
Bye bye love (4x)

Substitution mass confusion
Clouds inside my head
Were fogging all my energies
Until you visited
Eyes of porcelain and blue
Could shock me into sense
You think you're so illustrious
You call yourself intense

Chorus

    first off, nickman is queer as hell. if alkaline trio sold out why would they have just put out a split cd with hot water music and went on a small haloween tour with small brown bike? finchguy... you don't know what you're talking about either because finch is more radio friendly than alk3 so why would you want to kill them in the moshpit? c'mon guys, seriously, there's nothing wrong with a band getting big and getting more fans if they're still all about the rock. bands can't make enough to survive the rest of their lives anyway no matter who they are unless you're aerosmith. all the money that record companies pay for recording, promotion, distribution, concerts, house bills for the bands when they're on tour... the band has to pay it back... they don't make money, they're just all about the rock and love to make music and tour. when the band is over, they all get jobs. vagrant charges 10 grand to the venue to book alk3... for 10 bucks a ticket you need to get 1000 people to the show... that doesn't happen very often. the only money alk3 makes on tour is from merch. and the venue gets the rest of the money they don't make on ticket sales from liquor sales... so don't tell me they sold out. good mourning has a close sound to maybe i'll catch fire. get it when it comes out, it should be great if they do a good job mastering the rough demos i've heard.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
