Mend this careless thread
It's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it)
(Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it)
(Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

On a burning bridge, your options are minimal at best
Depending on where you're standing
And how much breath is in your chest
If it came down to it
Would you high-tail home and hide
Or dance on fire and enjoy the ride

Mend this careless thread
It's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it)
(Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it)
(Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

At the heart of it all
That innermost, your fiery core
There's an amassing armor
And it's building you into a bore
Life's a match in a gas tank
Don't ever mourn the ebbing tide
Just dance on fire and enjoy the ride

Mend this careless thread
It's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it)
(Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it)
(Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

Mend this careless thread
It's gone askew
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it)
(Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it)
(Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)

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."
