All the painted comers and second rate jocks
Ninety-five degrees of grey sky
Hanging over the boardwalk

Robot nymphs spraying medium smoke
Dip slender metal legs in an ammonia brook
Everyone can come to the seaboard slaves states
Everyone here gets stamped with an expiration date

My momma said go find something to do
I'm out in the sun but there ain't nothing new
Running over the grass with a couple of jerks
Have you met Horror James?

Some people like him got a problem I guess
He's a crazy old man and I'm supposed to stay away
How can I convince my cousins?
They're afraid to say yes
Well he's got the goods and that's all I can say

My momma said go find something to do
I'm out in the sun but there ain't nothing new
Running over the grass with a couple of jerks
Have you met Horror James?

He's got animal bones and antique toys
Some electronic junk that can make a lot of noise
We'll get in trouble if we stay out past dark
But this is so much better than any amusement park

    I cribbed this from rtxarchive.com, but I'm sure it's cool.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
