Do you know you don’t have to put up a fight
For a life that’s been given to you?
The proffering’s there but you don’t even use it;
You don’t care to choose
You’re wasting your apathy, wasting capacity
Your world will be arid soon
Now’s the time (not tomorrow)—the time to

Turn around / walk away
Bind the do to the say
Take some of your crimsons and scatter them out
Hide away the delight
Of a wondrous tonight
Save it for Monday when the silvers are grey

There’s goodness inside you; I know it, I’ve seen it
But only a glimpse so far
So let it diffuse, like your herbal tea
Into this thirsty world
The day is expectant, you know we’re all waiting
So give us a reason to stand back in awe
Yes, now’s the time (not tomorrow) - the time to

Turn around / walk away
Bind the do to the say
Take some of your crimsons and scatter them out
Hide away the delight
Of a wondrous tonight
Save it for Monday when the silvers are grey

Cause now’s the time—and now’s today—it’s time to

Turn around / walk away
Bind the do to the say
Take some of your goldens and scatter them out
Cast pretense, keep the real
So they know how you feel
Dispel any continents lurking between
Rearrange, redefine
What is yours, what is mine
Don’t walk down a lane if the freeway’s your thing
Hide away the delight
Of a wondrous tonight
Save it for Monday when the silvers are grey

Save it for Monday when the silvers are grey
Save it for… save it for…
I’ll save it for one day when you’ve gone away

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."
