I picture your face every day of my life
And struggle to come up with lyrics
But lately it’s honesty that keeps me around

A pint of their best and a seat with a view
This corner looks all too familiar
I just want to tell you I love you, I’m safe
On Devonshire and Crown

Who knows which letter just might be the last
This song will be done by the end of this glass
Hey brown eyes I hope you are sleeping
And dreaming of clouds

Here comes another three dollar cliché
I nod to the barman and he does the same
And again and again and again and again
I am down but so proud

It’s summer where you are, it’s winter down here
You’re sleeping I’m already boozing
All the cool kids are speaking their minds
But I cannot hear

‘Cause people are sounding like white noise these days
They fancy themselves as a critic
But I think of you and it takes me away to a perfect place

Who knows which letter just might be the last
This song will be done by the end of this glass
Hey blue eyes I hope you are sleeping
And dreaming of clouds

Here comes another three dollar cliché
I nod to the barman and he does the same
And again and again and again and again
I am down but so proud

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."
