Oh Mary Mack
All dressed in black
With silver buttons
All down her back
Say you found another lover
Instead of me
Tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm gon' set you free

Girl
When you leave my sight
When you go
It's no mystery
I'm not blind
To your whereabouts
And it's time
You came clean with me
In your heart
You belong to me
But it's clear
Where you'd rather be
And though it hurts
And it could break my heart
Baby I want to know
When it concerns me

All I want to know
Is when he kissed your lips
Did it feel the same as me
And if it does
Then I will let you go
I will bow out gracefully

Oh Mary Mack
Oh Mary Mack

Babe
If your love is real
Then you
Would not lie to me
Ooh girl
And if you love me still
Then explain
Explain this hotel key
It's kinda sad
After all I've done
That you
Would turn your back on me
Was it love
Or did he twist your arm
To make you turn away
Turn away from me

All I want to know

All I want to know
All I want to know

Oh Mary Mack
All dressed in black
With silver buttons
All down her back
Say you found another lover
Instead of me
Tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm gon' set you free

All I want to know
All I want to know
All I want to know
All I want to know

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."
