She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call
But when she stares at me, she can't see nothin' at all
Because you see, I can't take no shape or form
It's been three long years since I've been gone

I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry
I'll never know the reason why I had to go
Oh, oh, I'm crying
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me
Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me?
Ah, ah, ah, can't you see me?

I'm looking forward to her spirit coming over to me
I feel so tempted to bring her on over to see
Just what it's Like to be hanging on the other side
I feel so lonely, it's a long time since I died

I try to show her that she's never gonna be alone
Because my spirit is imprisoned in a twilight zone
Oh, oh, I'm crying
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me
Oh, oh, oh, can't you hear me?
Ah, ah, ah, can't you see me?

    Another great Di'Anno song, usually unappreciated by later fans.

    It shares the same title as many other songs released in the early 80's with the TV show name.

    It also mentions Purgatory, another song on the same Killers album.

    Pretty simple lyrically, but a great song about a ghost longing for his living lover who can't see or hear him. He's not a spirit at rest (he's in the twilight zone), because he can't let go of her and wants her to join him in death.

    "Like to be hanging on the other side.."

    I love the way Pay sings that line. Excellent song.

    So many things on the album cover of this song. First there is a grim reaper on the card that Charlotte is holding. The same reaper is outside her window. There is a picture of Eddie with text that says "To Charlotte, Love Eddie". and behind the picture is what looks like an evil Mickey Mouse waving at you

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."
