its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Take it down easy
Take it down low
Slide it to the bottom
And shake it real slow
Now move it to the side
And squeeze it real tight
Is there any wonder
I'm losing my sight
Get me to the doctor
I gotta get a shot
[Chorus]
I just can't get enough of you
I do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you, oh no
I just can't get enough of you
I do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you tonight
Oh no!
Gotta swing it to the front
Slide it to the back
Grind it real slow
I like it like that
Now turn it round good
Stroke it down bad
You're giving me a feeling
That I've never had
Get me to the doctor
I'm running too hot
[Chorus]
Let me down easy
Let me down slow
Hold me down tight
And never let go
Get me to a doctor
I got it real bad
[Chorus]
Take it down low
Slide it to the bottom
And shake it real slow
Now move it to the side
And squeeze it real tight
Is there any wonder
I'm losing my sight
Get me to the doctor
I gotta get a shot
[Chorus]
I just can't get enough of you
I do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you, oh no
I just can't get enough of you
I do anything that you want me to
I just can't get enough of you tonight
Oh no!
Gotta swing it to the front
Slide it to the back
Grind it real slow
I like it like that
Now turn it round good
Stroke it down bad
You're giving me a feeling
That I've never had
Get me to the doctor
I'm running too hot
[Chorus]
Let me down easy
Let me down slow
Hold me down tight
And never let go
Get me to a doctor
I got it real bad
[Chorus]

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
This song is rather simple and describes a passionate and intense desire for someone, expressing their overwhelming need for the other person. It repeatedly highlights the inability to get enough of said person, suggesting a strong infatuation or love that consumes them completely; They're completely willing to do anything to please them.
