And the moon, it wants to give me away
And my God wants me to pray
I hate apples for being red
I hate these voices up in my head

I don't ever want to wake and find myself awake
I don't ever want to die and find myself already dead
I don't ever want to love and find myself in love
Well every single day's the same, and I guess that's great

I think the walls in here are caving in
Did they just say something and touch my skin?
Why won't this picture just answer me?
Be my friend tonight; don't let me dream

I don't ever want to wake and find myself awake
I don't ever want to die and find myself already dead
I don't ever want to love and find myself in love
Well every single day's the same, and I guess that's great

Got me looking for more
Got me tired and poor
I was passed out on the floor
I'll just drink more moonshine yeah

I feel my neck stroked by the clock's big hands
I sip my coffee, but I am drinking sand
I won't be mummified in satin sheets
Because I know my life's better than my dreams

I don't ever want to wake and find myself awake
I don't ever want to die and find myself already dead
I don't ever want to love and find myself in love
Well every single day's the same, and I guess that's great

    Another great song by the Low Life...maybe even their best in terms of meaning and how deep and passionate this band can be. This song can have many interpretations and I wish people would talk about it more. To me its about a person who is lost between reality, a dream and a drunken stuper. So many interesting lyrics, one of the best is : "I don't ever want to love and find myself in love." He is afraid if he starts to love someone he will actually fall in love and get hurt again, and thats why he drinks to make himself numb to those feelings. But its ironic because when he dies, he doesn't want to realize he is already dead inside. So there is a lot of internal conflict withtin this song.

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."
