I've told you almost every bedtime story
And you've heard almost every nursery rhyme
So tonight before you'll go to sleep and pray the Lord your soul to keep
Here's mommy's favorite story one more time
Once upon a time there was a castle and in this castle lived a king and queen
And it came to pass they both were blessed by one little blue eyed princess
With the softest golden curls you've ever seen
And then one day he met this pretty lady and she had lots of pretty words to say
And this part makes your mommy sad cause oh what big eyes she had
And she took his hand and led him far away
Still it's just another bedtime story but telling it brings teardrops to my eyes
Just another pretty bedtime story so please forgive mommy if she cries

Then it came to pass the king grew lonely and the pretty lady wasn't all she seemed
He realized that he was wrong and started his long journey home
For he missed his little princess and his queen
Then he was back and safe inside his castle
And tears of joy came falling down like rain
Then the castle rang with laughter they lived happy ever after
Knowing he would never leave again
Still it's just another bedtime story
Won't you please forgive your mommy if she cries

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."
