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.
I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
You lock me up inside your dirty cage
Well I'm alone inside my mind
I'd like to teach you all the rules
I'd get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
But then your secrets never shone
I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no
I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?
I love the way you rake my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
Cause I'm that guy you'll never find
I think you know all of the rules
There's no expressions on your face
I'm hope that some day you will let me go
Release me from my dirty cage
I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no
I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no
I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
I feel the pain you place inside
You lock me up inside your dirty cage
Well I'm alone inside my mind
I'd like to teach you all the rules
I'd get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
But then your secrets never shone
I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no
I can't control you, you can't control me
I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?
I love the way you rake my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
Cause I'm that guy you'll never find
I think you know all of the rules
There's no expressions on your face
I'm hope that some day you will let me go
Release me from my dirty cage
I need to feel you, you need to feel me
I can't control you, you're not the one for me, no

I need to feel you, so why's there even you and me?
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass

I have control of you
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do

I can't control you, you can't control me

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
the devine child, suck a dick. You should be able to reproduce for liking such rancid shit. If you'd take some time to learn to shut off the radio and turn off MTV and perhaps think for yourself, instead of having Carson Daily and Paul Cubby Byrant telling you what to think.
