Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Wake up!
Miss Toadstool, it is I your one and only King, Bowser Koopa
I'm a turtle as you've seen, a little slow and a little green,
But I'm the whole, I'd say, Super Duper
Princess Toadstool, I know you're frightened, mm mm
If you knew just why you're here, your fear would just be heightened
So lets just say,
Ignorance is bliss
Oh, well, I hate to be a bummer, but I've brought you here you bring me plumbers,
You know those brothers, oh, what are their names?
Oh yes, Mario and Luigi, just the sound of them makes me quesy,
I'd love to tak that monkey wrench, I'd play my own game.
Princess Toadstool, you're so misguided,
I've never been fond of bookworms, but then again,
This one does make good Mario bait
I can't wait
Ignorance is bliss!
With my magic book I will shower those Crumbsy Lizards with my power
Until Dinosaur Land is nothing but fossil fuel!
My only problem with these spells is that I know not what they tell
So every hex leaves me perplexed and all I want are those plumbing fools!
Princess Toadstool, you're not so clever,
All your words are alphabet soup,
I'll say it again!
Ignorance is bliss!
Haven't you heard a pictures worth a thousand words?
You call yourself a princess, but you're a brainiac in a dress,
I can't believe you waste time with these books!
You remind me of my kid sister, she read so much she got a blister,
A big one, I mean big, on her brain, what a snook!
I'd like to get my hands on...
Just one time with a monkey wrench...
I'd fix their plumbing...
Princess Toadstool, I know you're freightened, (You're so misguided)
If you knew just why you're here, your fear would just be heightened
Princess Toadstool, you're not so clever, (A picture says it better)
All your words are alphabet soup,
A picture tells it better
For the last time...
On second thought, I think I've made my point...

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
noone cares about your stupid website you fanboy. anyways... This song is good though. It has a nice little chorus.
