Put on your bad self
get out your party dress
and fix up your makeup
try to make a good impression
this is a new world - we're all the same here,
well maybe not the same, you know what I mean.

I've got everything that you want
I've got everything and someday I'll be president.
I've for everything that you want..
I've got everything except the single thing you really need.

Separate, love from addiction
its not the same I know
I see desperation pulling my strings.

Hey Eliza now what do you want?
I play piano and I sing like a humming bird
And oh I forgot that humming birds don't sing,
It doesn't matter really you know what I mean.

I've got everything that you want
I've got everything and its a brand new world Eliza.
I've got everything that you want..
I've got everything except the single thing you really need.

Sail away blood and rejection ..they isolate.
I know I see, a generation staring back at me..
Wasted away.... wasted my time
This picture you see is nothing like the one
I wanted painted of me.

"Eliza says it's all right with me, if your sure ...
It wouldn't be the first time, you know
It's happened a couple of times before and..
I don't even expect much anymore and anyway...
It's not as if I was waiting for you to come
And make it all okay".

Shut away to to wing blood and rejection they isolate
I know I see visions of people grabbing hold of me.
Wasted away... wasted my time...
This picture you see
Is nothing like the one I wanted painted of me.

Put on your bad self,
Get out your party dress and fix up your makeup
Try and make a good impression..

    How can there be no comments on this song? It is amazing. After I downloaded it, it was all I could listen to for weeks. They should really release it

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."
