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.
Here I Come
Look at us, just the way God intended us to be
Look up at the mirror to see you on top of me
What we're doin right now has been done before
Still it feels so new, don't you agree
Never want this to end baby
But it's hard to keep it all in, baby
Keep this key inside your box
Till it's time to open up for me
Let me set you free
I've been pheenin for you all night
And I know that thing gonna be right
Said it's gonna be right...here I go
Chorus
Oh my goodness here it comes I'm on my way
Baby all I got will fill you up
And make it okay
The expression on my face
Let you know it's bound to take place
Pull me close so
You can feel me as you wrap your legs around me and never let go...oh no
Tell me why, is that a tear I see in your eye
Baby are you cryin' cause it's over
Or cause it feels so good inside
I feel you trembling and I know it's not because your cold
Cause you know you deserve this and much more
You've been pheenin' for this all night
And you knew this thing's gonna be right
Chorus
Let me feel the rain on my finger tips
Let me kiss your back and around your hips
Don't let go, Mommy keep your grip
Forever
Chorus
Adlib
Look at us, just the way God intended us to be
Look up at the mirror to see you on top of me
What we're doin right now has been done before
Still it feels so new, don't you agree
Never want this to end baby
But it's hard to keep it all in, baby
Keep this key inside your box
Till it's time to open up for me
Let me set you free
I've been pheenin for you all night
And I know that thing gonna be right
Said it's gonna be right...here I go
Chorus
Oh my goodness here it comes I'm on my way
Baby all I got will fill you up
And make it okay
The expression on my face
Let you know it's bound to take place
Pull me close so
You can feel me as you wrap your legs around me and never let go...oh no
Tell me why, is that a tear I see in your eye
Baby are you cryin' cause it's over
Or cause it feels so good inside
I feel you trembling and I know it's not because your cold
Cause you know you deserve this and much more
You've been pheenin' for this all night
And you knew this thing's gonna be right
Chorus
Let me feel the rain on my finger tips
Let me kiss your back and around your hips
Don't let go, Mommy keep your grip
Forever

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
