I never meant to hurt you, but knew I someday would
It's like I built myself a cabin with matches between the wood
I'll be damned if I am happy, and you will pay the price
Strong becomes the liar when he believes his own advice
I've got this one beat

I know its empty in the open
Days apart from you
Ashes trace the skyline
And this burnout cabin too
well I'll be damned if you forget me
in this fire I'll save your place
And keep it cool while I think of you
In the smoke I see your face
yeah, I've got this one beat;
I've got this one beat
Rain come fall on me
Baby from the fallout hear me call out
I've got this one beat
Baby from the fallout hear me call out
I've got this one beat
In the fallout [X5]

Is this how it's gonna be?
Bending daylight here with me
I know the aftermath is harder that it seems
Is this how it's got to be?
In the fallout, the fallout, the fallout
I'm alone in the fallout

They say the sky is falling
Are the angels coming too?
I'm gonna catch them when they come
Catch them as they fall

Climb on top the tower, get me closer to the sky
I'll bring the memories back
And save them all for you
The fallout [X4]

You can hear me call out from that fallout
You can hear me call
Save me, save me from the enemy
Come save me, save me from these broken things
Fallout

    Agreed with Luke, however to me it seems like he hurt someone he was close to. With that it's obvious he feels sorry about it, and he wants to get back with her also he doesn't want her to forget about him.

    This song is REALLY good, I would say lyrically it's top 4 of all their songs along with 52-50, Untitled and Heard the World.

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."
