Hey, honey
Cat got your tongue
Don't look so funny
Mister comedian
Joke's on you
And you're good at bed
So where's my money
I know you're bad
And I would never make that move

So why's the house empty
Light's off by the end of this week
I'll leave with what I came with baby
I'll take the dogs you'll take the mercedes

'Cause I'm gone I'm not fazed
I walk these roads with grace
And I'll wave with you behind me
With a new smile on my face

'Cause I'm walking in new shoes now
I got a new song to sing
When I walk in the room every head turns
Every eye is on me
Too bad you're not here to see it
And by the time you get this
I'll be so long gone and far
I'll send you a postcard
Aha, I'll send you a postcard

Hey, baby
You seen a ghost?
This ain't yo' lady
This is the chick that you held back
Now all of the things you've said were crazy
I checked off my list and I feel good about it
I got the new haircut
The one that you said it wouldn't look no good
Took that job you said I could not get
Wore that dress you said I'd never fit

'Cause you're gone and I'm great
I got rid of your dead weight
And I'll wave at you behind me
With a new smile on my face
'Cause I'm walking in new shoes now
I got a new song to sing
When I walk in the room every head turns
Every eye is on me
Too bad you're not here to see it
And by the time you get this
I'll be so long gone and far
I'll send you a postcard
Aha, I'll send you a postcard

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."
