He certainly did earn that reputation.
Today is a good day
To flex the muscles of the weary
A Miracle's a miracle
Even when it's ordinary
We will walk on the water
Even though it seems scary
If someone will show us the way
*I messed up*
*No you didn't. One. Two. Three. Four.*
I shook hands with the man
Who honestly thinks he's
The grandson of Jesus
With a penchant for pinchies
He served us communion
Of cola and twinkies
I guess everyone has their own view
He stood on his soapbox
And told us a parable
Of a man with eye-glasses
So small they're unwearable
And the moral of the story
is that all looks terrible
Depending on what you look through
What you look through
He said, "Do unto yourself
As you do unto your neighbor
It's not an eye for an eye
It's a favor for a favor
"And it's okay if this world
Had a billion saviors
'Cause there's so many things to be saved
"Take my words with a boulder of salt
Or blame it on your devil
Always the scape-goat's fault
We all point fingers when it comes to a halt
Will somebody show us the way?
Show us the way"
To flex the muscles of the weary

We will walk on the water

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
I think this is the catchy-est song on the album. It has strong moral connections A Miracle's a miracle Even when it's ordinary
I could copy and paste this whole song. Its wholly amazing. I love stuff like this.
