Perry Farrell (born Peretz Bernstein on March 29, 1959) is the frontman for the alternative rock band Jane's Addiction. Farrell created the touring festival Lollapalooza as a farewell tour for Jane's Addiction in 1991; it has since evolved into an annual destination festival. Farrell continues to produce Lollapalooza with partners William Morris Agency and C3. Farrell has led the alternative rock groups Porno For Pyros and Satellite Party. He is also a DJ.
Farrell was born in Queens, New York. He spent his grade-school years in Woodmere, Long Island, and moved to Miami during his teens. His father was a jeweler; his mother was an artist who committed suicide when Farrell was three, an event later noted in the Jane's Addiction songs "Then She Did" and "Twisted Tales".
His early musical influences included The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Sly Stone and James Brown. Soon after, he discovered David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed. Following graduation from high school, Farrell moved to California in the early 1980s to live as a surfer, lived in his car and made money working construction and waiting tables. Farrell has been sighted at premier surfing destinations throughout the world, most notably Bali, in 2001.
I like to dance in crowds
I like to make love out loud
I always keep a fire burning
And friends help fill things out
When you're someone
who meets someone?
Like the shade
Meets the shadow
Like a man meets his match
And in this crowded room
There's only one I see
One who makes my fire burn
Her eyes reach out to me
When you're someone
who meets someone?
Like the clouds
Meet the mountains
And they sing out snowy notes
Cherubs turn away their blushing faces
Leaving us aroused and bare
In your garden, everything is there
When you're someone
who meets someone?
Oh, you've got to say something
Sing out snowy notes!
Cherubs turn away their blushing faces
We're coming from far and wide
We're singing a song to you
Gather us together
For cake and candle light
The red heifer is here
And cousins of twelve tribes
Count up all our faces
Divide up the cake in pieces
We've all come here to see
Happy birthday Jubilee
It's your bith, It's your birthday party
It's your birthday, It's your birthday party
It's your bith, It's your birthday party
Now this is how it is
This is how we "B"
This is how we all
Gather around the queen
Buzzing in the hive wagging from the tree
Promised with the milk
Is the honey
Miss us when we go
So goes the pollen
So goes the fruit
And no more flowers
"B" is the bet
"B's" make houses
Busy, busy "B's"
And "B"-day announcements
It's your brith, It's your birthday party
Your birth, It's your birthday party
Your birthday, party
Your birthday, party
Your birthday, party
Birthday, party
Your birth, your birthday, party
It's your brith, your birthday party
It's your brithday, It's your birthday party
It's your brith, your birthday party
Let me tell you
You? re at the Jubilee
Or you? re all alone
Because the more, the merrier is how
My friends all tell me so
The birds wake up the grass
And they tell everybody
Say it? s time to grow
The sun, whispers to the birds
Oh, the song yet to be sung
Song yet to be sung
(Song yet to be sung)
Song yet to be sung
You? re at the Jubilee
Or you? re all alone
Because the more, the merrier is how
My friends everybody, they all tell us so
From the heights of Zion
I hear, it? s whispered in your ear
We get to play on, play on, wild designery!
A little bitty song, a song yet to be sung!
Song yet to be sung
(Song yet to be sung)
Song yet to be sung
Song yet to be sung
(Song yet to be sung)
Let the grass cool off your feet
Sip on old wine
Bake fresh bread to eat
Sing a song to me
And I'll play one for you
That comes
To me
Have you had a taste of honey?
Too much honey hurts your belly
When overcome with it
Save some and give the rest
To me
Splash on the water
Circle the altar (To me)
Give to your son
A quote for his daughter (To me)
(To me)
When overcome with it
Save some and give the rest
To me
Have you had a taste of honey?
Too much honey hurts your belly
When overcome with it
Save some and give the rest
To me
Splash on the water, circle the altar
Give to your song
A quote for his daughter (To me)
(To me)
"Bite, bite, bite, bite, bite your tongue" (To me)<
"It all comes off with soap and water" (To me)<
"It's never too late to say never" (To me)
I found a place
A place to plant my seed
I found a place
A place to plant my seed
I know a place
A place to plant my seed
A place to plant my seed
Two souls alone in embrace
An angel awaits to be named
I found a place
Oh, oh my delight!
I found a place
Planting under a fertile moonlight
I know a place
A place to plant my seed
A place to plant my seed
Two souls alone in embrace
An angel awaits to be named
And they turn into three
Garden
Rich in
Fertility
I found a place
Oh, my delight!
I found a place
Planting under a fertile moonlight
I know a place
A place to plant my seed
Give me a song
Makes my heart feel open
Give me a song
Makes my hair stand on end
So when I hear that song
Does my heart good
So when I hear that song
Does my heart well
Tell me tell me true
As true as you're living
Be the medicine for my broken heart
So when I hear that song
Does my heart good
So when I hear that song
Does my heart well
I listened for you in the pouring rain
Listened for you over roaring seas
Silent as a lamb,
the beating of the heart is calling
"I will always be there darling,
I was always there."
"I am always there darling,
I was always there."
Listen?
Make me dream of a time we set
A day we wed
Take me to the place
where we call "Our Song"
So when I hear that song
Does my heart good
So when I hear that song
Does my heart well
I want to hear that song
Does my heart good
The king is in the mirror
The king is in the mirror
Mirror of the king

King Zadek is in the mirror
Mirror of the kings
The king has a contender
A sorcerer reflector
Mirror of the kings
The king has a contender
A miracle reflector
Mirror of the kings

The steady one becomes
Oh la oh la oh la la
When studied one becomes
The one who's number is one and one and
one and one and one and one and one and one
You can't catch the king
Can't catch the king
You can't catch the king

Nasty little perv.
Nasty as they said you were.
Even your wife leaves town on holiday.
Just to get away from you.
Oh you're horrible and undeserving.
Your mac is full of mud and dirt.
He knows, that we know he's a nasty little pervert.
Does some dirty jobs
(Does his dirty jobs)
Yeah, you were hard to rid of
You're hard to unattatch.
Even tried to take my dongle.
Oh, but I got my dongle back.
The truth is you are undeserving
Oh the things that you type in to search
Oh he knows that we know he's a nasty little pervert
Does some junk jobs
(Does his dirty jobs)
Oh you are so undeserving
Oh the things that you type in to search
Oh he knows, that we know he's a nasty little pervert.
Does some dirty jobs
Dig it

Does his dirty jobs

How can
they fall
Their lies?
can they fall (can they fall)
Their lies?
Acting
like the blood that flows
into you heart is so sweet
Truer
Is the sap that flows
In the veins of a tree
Did you forget?
that's who you are!
It's already been written down in
the stars
and passed on from a father to
his son
It's the time set aside for a holiday
Oh beware and be wise
Gold is
just dust
still is
richer
than a
mountain of clay
no matter how they deny it
Did you forget?
That is who you are!
It's already been written down in
the stars
and passed on from a father to
his son
It's the time set aside for a holiday
Oh beware and be wise
Did you forget?
that's who you are!
(that's who you are!)
(that's who you are!)
(that's who you are!)
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Everyday we're going all the way
We're going all the way
We're going all the way
Everyday, everyday, everyday
We're going all the way
Everyday, everyday, everyday
We're going all the way
Tonight, lightning strikes
Let's go into twilight
First time I saw you
(When we first met)
I had the fever
(As bad as it gets)
You let me see
(Much in my eyes)
It was so smooth
Sparkle and shine and it shined
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Tonight lightning strikes
Let's go into twilight
You asked me out on many dates
And took me to exotic places
You saw the look upon your face
You men must really love the chases
I'm going to let you have it
Like you've never had before
So take me, take me, take me
Tonight lightning strikes
Let's go into twilight
You are away with me, no other way
You are away with me, no other way
You are away with me, no other way
You are away with me, no other way
You are away with me, no other way
You are away with me, no other way
You are away with me, no other way
Everyday, everyday, everyday
Ooh, baby, every time we kiss, hot lava
Every time that we make love, thats's lava, hot lava
Lava so hot it makes me sweat,
Lava so warm and red and wet,
Mountain is rumbling, must find a safer place
Soon the wrath of Pele, will fall upon your face
Great nectar of the gods, spews rock from?
makes the lava we know
Ooh, baby, every time we kiss, hot lava
Every time that we make love, there's lava, hot lava
Lava so hot it makes me sweat,
Lava so warm and red and wet
Burning through the forest, red, red hot lava flows
roles down the island body, and into the ocean below
Come down, come down Shekina
We'll engage eventually
I will tick and tock with you
Shake your mother hips for me
Outside heaven drizzles
Grow us up a field of apples
As you like it
That's how I like it
Tell me, tell me what are you thinking?
I just like the sound of your voice
Whisper to me what you're after
I'll try and get it for you
That tiger's tooth when you smile
And some things I can't tell you
As you like it, Havah
It's how I like it, Havah
Dreaming
I'm dreaming
There's no body here but us
Ignited
When we ignite
And nobody stands between us
You want to be caught; I'll catch you
What you want, I want too
As you like it, I like too
Time together is breezy
I'm without you thin as the air
Missing; a bass from a drum
Singer wants a harmony
I'll put my soul inside you
Put me there and let me grow
As you like it, Havah
It's how I like it
Come down, come down Shekina
We'll engage eventually
Nua Nua forecast for today
Nua Nua waiting in the clouds
Faithfully she loves her man
Never lets her out
Nua Nua, touch down
Nua Nua, touch down
Nua is a nudie as she's warming up her man
Shower herself to the world
Nothing more to add
Nua Nua, touch down
Nua Nua, touch down
All the guys and dollies say no fe fe
All the god players they get no trophies
All the guys and dollies say no fe fe
All the god players they get no trophies

Him that chew no cud
Him no get much love
The boy cries out in the name of love
The girl cries out in the name of love
We all cry out in the name of love

Every set has its struggle
And every weak link gets double jinxed
Every has a cherry at the top
That must be house medic
Which comes first the end or the yoke?
Which is blessed to do or to don't?
If you don't admit you are like that
You are
Admit
Admit I
Admit I, yo!
I admit, I admit I
You're afraid to die
Because you know
More than I
Why you don't
Prejudice is a lie
When you only love yourself
But you really don't
Which came first the seed or the oak?
Which is blessed to do or to don't?
If you don't admit you art like that
You are
Admit
Admit I
Admit I, yo!
I admit I, I admit I
Everybody laughs in heaven
They see you but they're hidden
The virgin waits forever
She really wants to know you
But she don't
What's this place a flat or a round?
Does this up get up when it's down?
Left
Right down the middle
Must we go!
Admit
Admit I
Admit I, yo!
I admit I, I admit I
Your sex is tied to you
Like a sexy sex caboose
A sexy sex caboose
Oh, I've hoped for comfort
But I've never felt too safe
And in this hard life
I've had to navigate
Through un-exhausted
Has been my virtue
Ooh, I've hoped for comfort
But I've never felt too safe
And in this hard life
I've had to navigate
Through un-exhausted
Has been my virtue
They set themselves against I
They set my pride on fire
Phoenix always rises high
Rebel crusader
Driven to decisions
They trapped me into
The revolution solution
Oh, I've come to join you
Oh, I've hoped for comfort
But I've never felt too safe
And in this hard life
I've had to navigate
Through un-exhausted
Has been my virtue
Ooh, I've hoped for comfort
But I've never felt too safe
And in this hard life
I've had to navigate
Through un-exhausted
Has been my virtue
The paradox of poverty
Has left us dismayed
Sliding democracy
Washing away
The toil of the many goes
To the fortunate few
The revolution solution
Oh, I've come to join you
The toil of the many goes
To the fortunate few
The revolution solution
