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.
Well, sweet little sister's high as hell, cheating on a halo
Grind in an odyssey, a holocaust, a heart kicking on tomorrow
And a breakdown agony, I said an ecstasy in overdrive
We're riding on the world, thunder kissin'
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
Living fast and dying young, like an endless poetry
My motor-psycho nightmare freak out inside of me
My soul salvation, liberation on the drive
The power of the blaster, move me faster
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
You're all shook up, aren't you baby?
I never try anything, I just do it
Wanna try me?
Oh, shout (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, gimme that, gimme that, now
Yeah
Rollin' like a supersonic, another fool that gets down on it
Pig sweat a million miles, I've got a heart atomic style
Make it look easy, that's what I said
Blast of silence explodes in my head
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Give it back, give it back
Step to the moonshine frenzy, hail the resurrection
What's new pussy-cat? Can you dig the satisfaction?
Well, you can't take it with you but you can in overdrive
Yeah, some like it hot, yeah, twisted
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
Grind in an odyssey, a holocaust, a heart kicking on tomorrow
And a breakdown agony, I said an ecstasy in overdrive
We're riding on the world, thunder kissin'
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
Living fast and dying young, like an endless poetry
My motor-psycho nightmare freak out inside of me
My soul salvation, liberation on the drive
The power of the blaster, move me faster
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
You're all shook up, aren't you baby?
I never try anything, I just do it
Wanna try me?
Oh, shout (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, gimme that, gimme that, now
Yeah
Rollin' like a supersonic, another fool that gets down on it
Pig sweat a million miles, I've got a heart atomic style
Make it look easy, that's what I said
Blast of silence explodes in my head
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Give it back, give it back
Step to the moonshine frenzy, hail the resurrection
What's new pussy-cat? Can you dig the satisfaction?
Well, you can't take it with you but you can in overdrive

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Mountain Song

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."
