Jane's Addiction was an influential alternative rock band from Los Angeles formed in 1986. They dissolved in 1991, but briefly returned to tour in 1997 and subsequently vanished shortly thereafter. They officially returned in 2001, before breaking up yet again in 2004. The band was influenced by punk, gothic rock, metal, funk, hard rock, and psychedelic styles; lead singer Perry Farrell once described the band as a cross between Duke Ellington and Bad Brains. The band's name refers to Jane Bainter, a now ex-heroin addict, who was a housemate of the band.

Slow Divers Lyrics

Jane's Addiction

She said, "do you think you could?"
And i said, "yeah, in a second..."

I'm sitting by a waterfall
And when people jump in
They hold their nose
And kiss these walls
Granite walls,
Water-polished walls

Just don't ever want to move from this spot
You can sit here for so long!
There's a slide, suislide,
You can live or die
Going down, going down, go down!

Boy came to the slide
I said, "you want to go down that slide?"
He said, "no man,"
"hey you got a joint to sell me?"
We just smoked one,
We got a roach we said...
"i'll smoke the roach!"
But first go down that slide man
Go on down, go on down, go on down!

I'm sitting by a waterfall...
Could bear to watch the people
Slip and fall
You know the plants on the rocks are crazy
Thinking that they could start a life
On the spiral walls of a waterfall!

Slow divers?
Their view is spectacular!
