We're throwing all caution to the wind
It's better to think about what's ahead, then behind them
Only I've got a better chance at failure
But my mind has a clever way of turning all the worst to right, I've found

Oh, no, so tell them like you did it
No maybes

We'll leave it on the radio, we're calling all cowards
Now boy, that you made it, so
Why are you afraid of what you've done?
We'll leave it on the radio, we're calling all cowards
Now boy, that you made it, so
Why are you afraid of what you've done?
No, what you've done, no

Return to the dirt with this cursed affair
A lever to pull upon and the buried, we'll leave there
Only how will they ever find their way
To the road, to a better place where the memories
They don't live to fade away?

Oh, no, so tell them like you did it
Oh, no, so tell them like you knew
Ditto, so tell them like you knew
No maybes

We'll leave it on the radio, we're calling all cowards
Now boy, that you made it, so
Why are you afraid of what you've done?
We'll leave it on the radio, we're calling all cowards
Now boy, that you made it, so
Why are you afraid of what you've done?

Like you, uh oh, it's the curse of the radio bye bye
Like you, uh oh, it's the curse of the radio bye bye
Like you, uh oh, it's the curse of the radio bye bye
Like you knew

Oh, no, so tell them like you did it
Oh, no, so tell them like you knew
Ditto, so tell them like you knew
No maybes

We'll leave it on the radio, we're calling all cowards
Now boy, that you made it, so
Why are you afraid of what you've done?
We'll leave it on the radio, we're calling all cowards
Now boy, that you made it, so
Why are you afraid of what you've done?

We'll leave it on the radio, we're calling all cowards
Now boy, that you made it, so
Why are you afraid of what you've done?
We'll leave it on the radio, we're calling all cowards
Now boy, that you made it, so
Why are you afraid of what you've done?

We'll leave it on the radio, we're calling all cowards, now

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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."
