I'll catch you again someday
On the streets of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Then again maybe not
Where we can sit and reminisce
About our younger years
And how we'd stay in bed all day
When you should of been in class, then

[Chorus:]
Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Made you look like the star that you were
Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Made you look like the star that you are

Daytime thoughts on those streets
Through winter breezes freezing gusts of wind
Cutting razors to my ears
Those bitter cold days cast your silhouette
Angel like through the fogged up cafe glass
Reality became a dream

[Chorus]
Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Made you look like the star that you were
Yea, then in the night
That light shown down upon you [Repeat: x1]

Driving you to the airport
Watching you walk off to the
Plane that did carry you away
You were too sad to look back to wave goodbye
So I'm not going to tell you what you missed
And I'm not going to tell myself
That I will never find you glowing in those lights again
Cause I don't know if I will ever have that chance
But still I'll never forget those days we had
And I'll never forget those nights in the dark
In the pitch black moon light
The streets of this town are still cold
And still windy but the 61c doesn't feel the same
You said lets just leave it to fate
So I guess I'll just have to leave it to fate
And wait and remember those days turned to nights

Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Made you look like the star that you were
Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Yea

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.

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
