It's not so much a storm
But just a cloud that lives inside of me
He doesn't disturb so easily these days
But when he wakes he goes the distance.

In a marathon it takes too long
Open containers that sing songs
You'll never dream again
But you can pray

I guess we only settle in to what we know
I guess we always settle in, we know.
But there is comfort in a world
Where darkness is the only thing we see

And cold is all we have to breathe
Where expectations keep us company
With the light we take to the outside
Will it die? I somehow hide of out control.
(we lost control).

It's not about the sky
Or the clouds that walk all over me
They don't give up too easily these days
But when they break they go to pieces.

For a pond blood here in north set barns
Under a sky that knows no stars
You'll never shine again
But you will stay.

    Great song, love the chorus...one discrepancy with the lyrics however:

    'Fall apart right here in north sapphires"

    is more than likely

    Fall apart right here in North Side Bars",

    in reference to the north side of Chicago, known for it's bar areas (Rush and Division, Wrigleyville, etc), and is also the boys' old stomping grounds, which makes more sense gramatically anyway.

    Also making it the second album in a row with only one booze reference, an idea once thought impossible given their earlier lyrical preferences. --H

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."
