I saw you with a very loose grip on your tight ship
And I left you with a very big mess then I watched it progress
Took a little time for your trip but I saw you starting to slip
And you always kept your eyes on any little hiding spot that you had forgot
And I saw you after a decent spell in a private hell
And I told you, "I hope I live a thousand lives, hope I live them well"
Fought my mind to keep my life, but my body's putting up a tougher fight
Yeah if it feels wrong, you can go on along
But once it feels right then you just lost the fight

I saw you with a very loose grip on your tight ship
And I lost you when you said one hit couldn't hurt a bit
Took a little time for your trip but I saw you starting to slip
'Cause you always kept your eyes on any little hiding spot that you had forgot
I can't shake the terror of my life fleeting, minute by minute
Even when I can't imagine another day waking up in it
Fought my mind to keep my life, but my body's putting up a tougher fight
Yeah if it feels wrong, you can go on along
But once it feels right then you just lost the fight

    [Verse 1] I saw you with a very loose grip on your tight ship And I left you with a very big mess then I watched it progress Took a little time for your trip but I saw you starting to slip And you always kept your eyes on any little hiding spot that you had forgot And I saw you after a decent spell in a private hell And I told you, "I hope I live a thousand lives, hope I live them well" Fought my mind to keep my life, but my body’s putting up a tougher fight Yeah if it feels wrong, you can go on along But once it feels right then you just lost the fight

    [Verse 2]

    I saw you with a very loose grip on your tight ship And I lost you when you said one hit couldn’t hurt a bit Took a little time for your trip but I saw you starting to slip Cause you always kept your eyes on any little hiding spot that you had forgot I can’t shake the terror of my life fleeting, minute by minute Even when I can’t imagine another day waking up in it Fought my mind to keep my life, but my body’s putting up a tougher fight Yeah if it feels wrong, you can go on along But once it feels right then you just lost the fight

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."
