So you dance and you shuffle into the eye of the storm
Your eyes all on fire as if you've been here before
And you say it's all nothing, but tell yourself quiety
But I hear you for miles breathing differently
And when it all falls down

You won't just stand there looking at the ground
And holding your breath, holding out

So you drive 'till the water changes from blue to green
And you wait there until the wind knocks you out of your body
You can stay there forever counting the stars
Trying to separate yourself from how things are
But you know you won't get very far until it all falls down

So don't just stand there looking at the ground
And holding your breath, holding out

    I recently found out that the line "but I hear you for miles, breathing differently" is actually "but I hear you from my house, breathing differently" - you've got to listen closely, and it's evident when you listen to it carefully, live.

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."
