Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
Since K Got Over Me
Juliet
I get on my knees
Speaking in tongues
Of washed out sun and
Perfect clarity
Well I get so delerious
I think myself to sleep
Standing on the sidewalk
Sometimes it's with him
I don't think I'll be happy anyway
Just scratching out my name
And everything so loosy
And so creepy
Since K got over me
Since K got over me
All my senses shot
My hands are fixed
I'm really tired of making lists
It's just this emptiness
I can't chase it away
And when the evening paints the streets
When the evening paints the streets
It's like walking on a trampoline
I don't think I'll be happy anyway
Just scratching out my name
But everythings so livid
And so creepy
Since k got over me
Since k got over me
Theres a hope inside my skull
With warm air blowing in
Standing on the sidewalk
Where do I begin?
I dont think I'll be happy anymore
I guess I closed that door
But everynight a strange geometry
Since K got over me
Since K got over me

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
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."
@smallwonderrobot Yes, this song is about a broken heart and star-cross'd love. "Juliette" is the most famous Shakespearean character -- representing love that could not be. The narrator is on his knees in despair, speaking in tongues. He can't even see the world the same anymore. Everything has a "strange geometry." I suspect "K" is the real name of the subject of the song. He suspects he'll never be happy again. At the same time, it's ALSO ABOUT KETAMINE. But it's metaphorical. The narrator draws a comparison between losing the love of his life and going in the K-hole. I'm not sure that he's actually taking ketamine, but he does suggest that this break-up has shifted his perspective in a similar way that drugs do. But if you look closely at the song, it's about the extreme sadness of losing love. That's the heart of the song. It's not a song ABOUT taking ketamine.
