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.
Just when ya thought it was safe
Shake it
Shake it
Shake it
When I hit town
Yo, the party gets real
I'm hittin' twenty
On the Rictor scale
Got a hundred million people
Just to talk insane
Got my brand new shirt
Oh, that reminds me
When you feel your gums flap
It's Aaron's rap
Watch yourself
I'ma rearrange your map
Do your hands shake, baby
You ain't getting old
It's only Aaron Carter here
To rock and roll
Where ever I go
Shake, shake, shake
All the things in my room I
Brake, brake, brake
All the guys and the girls I
Make, make, make
Make 'em drop it down
Shake it down, break it down
Here we go
Wherever I go
Shake, shake, shake
All the things in my room I
Brake, brake, brake
All the people out in Cali yell
Not another earthquake
Make 'em drop it down
Shake it down, break it down
When I drove by
I'ma shake the foundation
Rock the formation
What's your reservation
Photos hang up the walls
It's amazing, oh no
Trouble with the bass vibration
Race the impact
Of my new track
Take cover cause
We're coming through like that
All the other
Tracks are wickie wickie whack
Its 2 double 0 2, time to react
From the east, to the west
To the north, to the south
Where ever I go
Shake, shake, shake
All the things in my room I
Brake, brake, brake
All the shots at the girls I
Make, make, make
Drop it down, shake it down
Break it down, here we go
Wherever I go
Shake, shake, shake
All the things in my room I
Brake, brake, brake
All the people that are jealous say
Not another earthquake
Drop it down, shake it down
Break it down, here we go
Shake it
Shake it
Shake it
When I hit town
Yo, the party gets real
I'm hittin' twenty
On the Rictor scale
Got a hundred million people
Just to talk insane
Got my brand new shirt
Oh, that reminds me
When you feel your gums flap
It's Aaron's rap
Watch yourself
I'ma rearrange your map
Do your hands shake, baby
You ain't getting old
It's only Aaron Carter here
To rock and roll
Where ever I go
Shake, shake, shake
All the things in my room I
Brake, brake, brake
All the guys and the girls I
Make, make, make
Make 'em drop it down
Shake it down, break it down
Here we go
Wherever I go
Shake, shake, shake
All the things in my room I
Brake, brake, brake
All the people out in Cali yell
