Dearest constellation, heaven surroundin' you
Stay there, soft and blue
Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
Sweetest invitation, breaking the day in two
Feelin' like I do

Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning, when we're through and tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight

Secret fascination, whisper a quiet tune
Hear me callin' you

Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
And now our shapes become shadows in your light
In the morning, when we're through and tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight

Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning, when we're through and tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight

I will say goodnight
I will say goodnight

    This is one of the most amazing Foo songs I have ever heard. I think this song proved once and for all that there is no boundary on what the Foos can do.

    believe me, it's a song both you AND your parents will love. oddly enough, that's not a bad thing.

    Amazing amazing song. I love it. favorite on the acoustic disc.

    rock on dave n' norah duet action!

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.

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."
