We lost a couple years, like a Christmas box,
crushed under the weight of standing still.
I'm serious, there's no way you could be forgot.
The birds remember how to come home.

You left her from the basement, I was fading out,
the earthquake like a giant passing truck.
If I lose everything, then I lose you
but I'll lose all the really bad things too.

I don't feel so alive tonight,
the lightest things feel very heavy.
And you want to find a hedgehog friend.
You're talking like a girl again.
Takes a lot to makle you feel tempted.

It takes a lot of quills,
and I will, I will.
Takes a lot to make you cry,
and I will, I will.
Like a ghost without a throat,
held still until
he won't feel so killed.

You get stuck, move if you can.
Bread in your hand, those hungry looks won't hardly stand.
I guess I feel a bit lost without you,
a middle thumb stuck in your belt.

Oh believe me,
I will have no more of thee
and I'll drive you far away from me.

I'm gonna fly right through the walls,
don't be scared at all.
I'm gonna float above your bed,
I will, I will.
I'm gonna kiss you on your head,
miss you won't know,
you'll just feel a little wind instead.

In your dream I'm noticing the way she sits,
but tonight I'm letting you drive.
If you wannt touch me just a little bit,
you better use your smallest left hand.

I'm shaking like a candle light,
blow me out alright, already.
I get gone on whisky and cocaine,
on cought syrup and codiene.
Watch me move like nothing you see,
brush your hand across where you felt me.
Do I pass the feather test?

Is there any hope for me?
Oh, believe me,
I will have no more of thee
and I'll drive you far away from me.

It takes a lot of faith,
to not to know
that the coaster if

It takes a lot of god's will.
I will, I will.
It takes a quills,
until you know.
Like a hedgehog, believe it will.

We lost a couple years, like a Christmas box,
we knew that sometimes you'd feel better somehow.
I will, I will.

    finally!! whoever would NOT accept a weather as an artist...but i wanted these lyrics up really bad. i'm hoping someone will come across weather and think they're a weather, etc. etc.

    so here's what i think this song means: someone is debating killing themselves and haunting their ex-lover. in the end, i think that the feel better somehow signifies they choose not to.

    there are a lot of mistakes, i think. the lyrics are pretty accurate, but in many places the words i here don't seem to make much sense. i'd love for suggestinos.

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."
