In an igloo made of asbestos and chicken-wire.
She chases mountains
fumbles over the backbones
of snow-covered giants
but they sleep,
they sleep.

She rides elevation
higher and higher
but it never really shows her
the light she needs.

One day Jane
you will find your Mountain
your tears reduced to frozen spray
in the stark naked valleys of the world below you.

No longer maudlin,
no longer searching.

The mountain is there
and it's waiting.

The giant yet sleeps
but will awaken.

Reminds me of a poisoned-heart hippy song. Have you ever heard "The Dreamer is Still Asleep" by Coil? It remins me of that a lot, in terms of the words and ideas. It also reminds me of the Jane's Addiction song "Mountain Song."
 
God damn you! Now, you'll have to admit I'm psychic for picking that out :)

and thanks for inspiring me to re-listen to them... they are my all time favourite band, from way back. they used to play with primus and the pixies - i would kill to have seen one of those shows
