And there's something missing
I guess I'll never come to my senses
Never have another chance like this
(And if I did) I'd do it all (Over again)

When this falls apart
And all plans break down
Into meaningless nonsense
And unsuccessful designs

(We will break, connections lost)
And gone forever
We will break connections lost and gone

I can't take this
(The words are gone but still live on)
The words are gone but still live on

I can't take this (I can't take this)
Like you said you don't mind

And there's something missing
I guess I'll never come to my senses
Never have another chance like this
(And if I did) I'd do it all (Over again)

And in the end the windows stay (Broken)
Broken until the day is done
This was meant since the beginning

[Screamer]
We've been holding back
And we stay apart

And there's something missing
I guess I'll never come to my senses
Never have another chance like this
(And if I did) I'd do it all (Over again)

We've been (Holding back)
(We've been holding back)
Because we know that there's something

[Screamer]
We've been holding back.. we know
Back.. we know
Back.. we know
Back.. here we go
Back... because we won't let go
But we, we won't live forever in your eyes
So for now we won't see

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."
