If you listen closely to Jeff's "River of Dope", you will see that he is referencing this song, specifically in the lines:
"Look into my eyes and you'll see
That I flow with the river
And I'm a slave to his song
And I will drown forever where so many have gone"
which correlate to the lines in "I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain", a song written about Jeff and his mother:
"Yes, you can drink my lies
If first you read my eyes
Each one is titled
'I'm drowning back to you'"
At the 1991 tribute for Tim, Jeff also added the lines: "I want to feel the tide pull through me like a woman drunk in sin/Let the fish swim through me/Let the water take my skin".
