Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Oh
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Yeah
Am I coming through?
Am I coming through?
Is it sweet and pure and true?
Devil came by this morning,
Said he had something to show me,
I was looking like I'd never seen a face before,
Here we go now lets slide in through the open door.
Pictures and things that I've done before,
Circling around me I'm here on the floor,
I'm dreaming this and I'm dreaming that,
Regretting nothing think about that.
[Chorus]
I see waves break and form on my horizons,
Yeah I'm shining,
I'm seeing waves break and form on my horizons,
Lord I'm shining,
Oh are you hearing me, like I'm hearing you
Oh are you hearing me, like I'm hearing you
You know I always lost my mind,
I can't explain where I've been,
You know I always lost my mind,
I can't explain where I've been,
You know I almost lost my my mind,
I couldn't explain what I've seen.
I have been down my (unintelligible),
To find that the images are fading away.
I see waves break and form on my horizons,
Yeah I'm shining,
I'm seeing waves break and form on my horizons,
Lord I'm shining,
Oh are you hearing me, like I'm hearing you
Oh are you hearing me, like I'm hearing you
You know I always lost my mind,
I can't explain where I've been,
You know I almost lost my my mind,
I couldn't explain the things I've seen.
But now I think I see the light
But now I think I see the light
Lend me a hand,
Lend me your hand,
Lend me a hand,
Lend me your hand,
Lend me your hand.
I see waves break and form on my horizons,
Yeah I'm shining,
I'm seeing waves break and form on my horizons,
Lord I'm shining,
Oh are you hearing me, like I'm hearing you
Oh are you hearing me, like I'm hearing you
You know I always lost my mind,
But now I'm home and I'm free,
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
Oh ma ma ma ma ma ma man
[Repeat: x12]
You'd better go to bed now
My heart is so damn free,
My heart is so damn free,
You know I always lost my mind,
But now I'm home and I'm free
[Repeat: x10]
Did I pass the acid test?
Oh ma ma ma ma ma ma man

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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."
This best driving tune on the highway or some call the "Carriageway" mind you in you're British. Its a tripper of a song though WOW
