Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain) Lyrics
Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of doubt
Don't water them with your tears
Don't think about all the years
You'd rather be without
Eden lets me in
I find the seeds of love
And climb upon the highwire
I kiss and tell all my fears
Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of fun
And we scream like alleycats
Tearing down what we attack
To prove that we are one
Cutting through the night
And we find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end
Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
You know it wouldn't hurt...hey!
Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt yeah
I said get up get up get up
Get up to the top, yeah
I'm falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt, oh yeah
I'm falling, falling...aw yeah!
Cutting through the night
And we find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end
Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
We find the seeds of doubt
Don't water them with your tears
Don't think about all the years
You'd rather be without
I find the seeds of love
And climb upon the highwire
I kiss and tell all my fears
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
We find the seeds of fun
And we scream like alleycats
Tearing down what we attack
To prove that we are one
And we find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt yeah
I said get up get up get up
Get up to the top, yeah
I'm falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt, oh yeah
I'm falling, falling...aw yeah!
And we find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

I absolutely love this song.
I was so happy to have had the chance to see this song performed live, even though the girl I went to see it with and I aren't together anymore. I got such a charge of inspiration from this song: a feeling that I could fall all the way to the bottom of a mountain, but get up and press on. Unfortunately, Michael Hutchence didn't feel the same in the end, and I feel we're poorer for the loss of him.
OK, I might be talking to the wrong generation, but a few years back when I was playing Grand Theft Auto (GTA3 I think), i think i heard this song on the soudtrack for the game when you are driving around shooting people, running them over, or just simply picking up a prostitute. so can anyone tell me that this is the song on that game?

yes definitelyjoshua, it is on GTA vice city, but it's called 'KISS the dirt' not kissing.
this is one of my favourite INXS songs and the video is so cool.

happiest moment of my life
It's actually not cool when you do fall down the mountain and get a scoop of earth in your pie-hole. ;)

Kiss the dirt took me a while to understand, as the execution of this song from a musical standpoint is flawless. It took me a real downer of a day to understand what Michael is saying. It's simple but the flow of life has a lot of ups (the mountains) and peaks (when you are going down) So when you are headed down, he is basically saying don't worry. Re-focus. You'll find your way back, or maybe even on a brand new path. Take a closer look at where you are at and go forward!
