She's got the focus
She's got the time
She's got a deeper shade in mind
She's got headphones
Got spring break
Swimsuit and Coppertone 8

She's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand
Chilling in a chair
Flower in her hair
Margarita in her hand

Soaking up the sun
Getting next to nothing done
There's a term paper due
In a week or two
Only she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan
Working on a tan

All the Kappa Sigma boys been lifting weights
Hitting that gym drinking protein shakes
They got a cooler full of beer and it's loaded
In the jeep why you think they're going to the beach

'Cause she's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand,
Chilling in a chair
Flower in her hair
Margarita in her hand

Soaking up the sun
Getting next to nothing done
Shes attracting a crowd got their tongues hanging out
Oh but she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan
Working on a tan

Yeah so many things run thing her mind, reapply
So this week while you are stuck in your cubicle
Or your serving Starbucks or you're still in school
Far from rubbing sunscreen on your skin sorry
But I have to rub it in

She's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand,
Chilling in a chair
Flower in her hair margarita in her hand
Soaking up the sun
Getting next to nothing done
Forget about her grades forget her GPA
Oh she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan
Working on a tan
She's working on a tan
Working on a tan

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."
