Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Roll the dice, play your cards
Break the rules, that's who you are
Whoever said play it safe, never played the game (Never played the game)
So many players, but too many pawns
Too many judges say what's right or wrong
But then jump into the fire if they want to play
CHORUS:
Cause it's a deadly game that we play as we live on (Deadly game)
Our lives, whan we say what is all about (Deadly game)
Play it now before the game is over (Ooooohhhhh)
Two simple rules the devil hands us
Make your mistakes but no second chances
Every time that you stand up is another chance to fall
CHORUS
Ha ha ha, wild money, once again easy
Beat one teach one take time to beat some
The young street dumb Money that buys the weak one
Where we're from, cost money to keep some(?)
If not it'll be your lungs you leak from
Repeat none, most addicts you leeched from
Lost into eternal until sleep comes
All the black, holler back no bungs(?)
No pistons, no drugs
Judgement day, calls in all markers
How the hell, it's getting darker
As they carry you away, you wonder what went wrong
CHORUS (3x)
Break the rules, that's who you are
Whoever said play it safe, never played the game (Never played the game)
So many players, but too many pawns
Too many judges say what's right or wrong
But then jump into the fire if they want to play
CHORUS:
Cause it's a deadly game that we play as we live on (Deadly game)
Our lives, whan we say what is all about (Deadly game)
Play it now before the game is over (Ooooohhhhh)
Two simple rules the devil hands us
Make your mistakes but no second chances
Every time that you stand up is another chance to fall
CHORUS
Ha ha ha, wild money, once again easy
Beat one teach one take time to beat some
The young street dumb Money that buys the weak one
Where we're from, cost money to keep some(?)
If not it'll be your lungs you leak from
Repeat none, most addicts you leeched from
Lost into eternal until sleep comes
All the black, holler back no bungs(?)
No pistons, no drugs
Judgement day, calls in all markers
How the hell, it's getting darker
As they carry you away, you wonder what went wrong
CHORUS (3x)

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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 think this was used as the theme to the 1998 Survivor Series. Good song, and I'm glad they made it available on the Anthology collection.
