Oh my god, I have the remedy for love
I struck the glass, it broke the bones inside my fist, but I'm ok
I cannot change you, I cannot change you
You never change, you never change
I never would expect to be this in the end
Something so profound, something you won't expect
Take this scripture like a picture, wear it around your neck
The sky, it opens up
Don't get swallowed by the flames
What's mine is yours and yours is mine, so take me away
You hear the sounds, they carry out
There's no sympathy for the dead

It swells and I was never the same
There's no sympathy for the dead
We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain
We see the stones falling from the sky, on fire
The blinding light beaming from your eyes, our desire
Life has died, and yet we're still alive, we'll tell them all
Our sea of damned, crashing like a tidal wave, wave

I cannot change you, you'll never change
You'll never change
I'm never would expect to be this in the end
I can't breathe
Wake up from this nightmare that I'm in
Dive into a holy river, and wash away my sins
As I reach, sanctify the surface of the water now
I will breathe, and burn out my eyes
You hear the sounds, they carry out
There's no sympathy for the dead

It swells and I was never the same
There's no sympathy for the dead
We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain
We see the stones falling from the sky, on fire
The blinding light beaming from your eyes, our desire
Life has died, and yet we're still alive, we'll tell them all
A sea of damned, crashing like a tidal wave, wave

So take the medicines, to quench the pain we had
And walk until the end, until you've reached the sand
A hundred thousand wings, soaring through the sky
At intense speeds we can't catch with our eyes
You hear the sounds of a third carry out
Just wait (Just wait)
You hesitate

I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist (you hesitate)
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist (you hesitate)
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist (you hesitate)
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist

You hesitate
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
You hesitate
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
You hesitate
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
You hesitate

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."
