Love is such a novelty
A rarely painted masterpiece
A place few people go or ever know
An underwater rocket love
Exactly what I'm searching for
You're brave enough to go
Tell me so

Say you'll go to Nirvana
Will you leave Samsara?
In the words of Dhammapada
Who will leave? Who will follow?

Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts

Love is not a fantasy
A haiku written in Japanese
A word too often used but not believed
Witness the interaction of
The flood, the sea, the sky, the dove
Time erodes the shore but not our love

Say you'll go to Nirvana
Will you leave Samsara?
In the words of Dhammapada
Who will leave? Who will follow?

Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts

Do, do, do, do

Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts

Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end today outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our names in fire on each other's hearts

Do, do, do, do
The world could end today
Do, do, do, do
Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
We'll find forever

Woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo

Love is not a fantasy
It's more for you and me

    She is the truth. This album is EPIC and the slower tunes are just as amazing as the upbeat and oft insane. This is a wonderful love song, one with religious undertones - Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity. It's undeniable. This song, I feel, shows that Love can conquer all... and that it's attainable for all. And once you experience that love, it's not just something small. Of course, it can be experienced on many different levels.

    She's got 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."
