When April passes by, she thinks of saying bye
She tells her mother, I am not afraid
Of dying in the bath, or swinging from up here
She asks her mother if she slept with strangers
Phantom was the bright way out
Of all the things her mother said
A whisper to her scream
An Autumn in my green
December, hello frost
Her mother would say "dad
I don't know where April went"

She ran out in nature
She ran out in nature
She ran out in nature
She ran out in nature, ah
She ran out in nature

I found the Phantom would go
Across the river and hide from all the suffering
Like the shades of trees
Take off my dress and flow into the stuff we're in
She ran out in nature
What'd she find?
She ran out in nature
Where'd she go?
She ran out in nature
Phantom light
She ran out in nature
Take her home

Everybody wants it!
Aah, can't you see me waste it?
She ran out in nature

We've gotta buy our land
When they go out and take all the stuff we're in
We've got neither reachin' for the stars
And beg and keep us sufferin'
She ran out in nature
What'd she find?
She ran out in nature
Where'd she go?
She ran out in nature
Can't somebody
She ran out in nature
Take her home?

Everybody wants it!
Aah, can't you see me waste it?

I finally see a baby girl
I'm sorry April, but you'll be fine 'til then
I'm the Phantom
I'm the Phantom
I'm the Phantom
When I sleep around, and you're on top
A frenzy April, then we ride again
I'm the Phantom
I'm the Phantom
I'm the Phantom
And in the end, your mother knows
I'm sorry April, but a child grows
I'm the Phantom
I'm the Phantom
I'm the Phantom
I am
Watch me as I lead the way
From infancy to grown up babies

Phantom, please put on my make-up!
I am breathin', I'll keep callin'
Phantom, you're all white and naked!
Have your baby, I'll keep callin'
I'm not right, I'm not fakin'!
I am burnin', and I'm shakin'
April, no, it's just a spirit!
I am there, end is nearin'

April and the Phantom
They were just like lovers
Always sneakin' kisses for the weekend
Everything's just okay with me
Everything's just alright with
April and the Phantom spoke in secret code
Until they buried Phantom by the road
Everything's just alright with me
Everything's just alright with Phantom

Kid has got no friends
Kid has got no friends at all

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."
