He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
She told him she'd rather fix her make-up
Than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cell phone gone
She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards and
Upside-down
Don't say so-long, you're not that far gone.
Don't spend today away, 'cause today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
Just try and prove me wrong and
Pretend like you're immortal.
She said, He said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow brings us
One step closer to the edge.Infinity
Where's your treasure? where's your hope?
If you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal.
Don't say so-long, and throw yourself wrong.
This could be your big chance to make-up,
Today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going
Gone,like summer break is gone,
Like Saturday is gone
Just try and prove me wrong and
Pretend like you're immortal
(you're immortal) you're immortal (you're immortal) ha-ah
We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing's immediate
And we pretend like we're immortal
We're so comforted in our accomplishments
Look at our decadence.
Gone,like Frank Sinatra,like Elvis and his mom
Like Al Pacino's cash,nothing lasts in this life
Gone, my high school dreams are gone
My childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long
Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash,
Life is still more than girls,Life is more than girls
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills,
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age,
But do we know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
She said, He said live like no tomorrow,
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
To the God who's never been short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked.
Life is still worth living,Life is more that we are.

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Mountain Song

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."
On U2's "Rattle and Hum", Bono says, "The God I believe in is not short of cash." The lead singer of Switchfoot is a huge U2 fan and when he met Bono he gave him 40 bucks he owed him from sneaking in to a U2 concert a few years back, and Bono gave it right back to him. I'm not sure where the "life is still worth living" part comes from, other than that it's true.
@sein514 LMFAO ....... My friend you really ought to consider stand up comedy as a career. Your post is absolutely hilarious.
