Crazy as I may make my way through this world
It�s for no one but me to say what direction I shall turn
I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
Day after day how I long for you my love how I long

Strange but it seems like there�s a mutiny brewing inside me
But I don�t want your pity only the promise that you�ll stay with me tonight
Now I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
Day after day oh how I long for you like crazy

Oh our love - how you do me
Oh my love - come now lets go again
Oh our love - everything
Oh won�t play with me again got all night

Same old song won�t you come stay all my life after all
Oh how could I even try to fight after falling into your arms?
Oh mesmerized by your smile the way it lights up under your eyes
Oh how could I even try love won�t you stay with me?

Oh our love - how you do me
Oh my love - come now lets go again
Oh our love - everything
Oh won�t play with me again we got all night

The same old song
Won�t you come dance with me my love after all?

    This song makes me think of making love all night, uninhibited, passionately, with soem idea that it might be gone tomorrow. That kind of love making has some kind of love persona, but it doesn't always have to be mutual. The mutany he refer's to is the breaking down of the idea he can just walk away, like when you only have lust for a person. Pity can also be for a person who blindly falls into it. I agree that he makes references to not caring if she feels the same, he wants her anyway. This is one of my favorite songs on BS, I can understand the way people can create strong emotions and ties from an act so intense, just the thougth of having that sexual experience with someone, I couldn't imagine NOT having extreme feelings of love!

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."
