Identify the real world
Investigate the real world
Intensify Inspection
There for all to see

Here's what lies do
All things turn to
Black, Black
Yeah, No

Now desensitize your heartbeat
Regulate the heartbeat
sterilize all emotion
Justify your needs

Here's what love does
Dies and fades to
Black, Black

There are no champions
Who saves the lonely ones
In the corner

Black, Yeah
Black

You must identify
You and the real world
Interrogate the new real world
Then generate intention
Information, Please

Here's what I know
Soon we'll all go
We must fade to BLACK

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."
