He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Don't you make a move tonight
You can only stagger
Once shes got you in her sight
You're the one shes after
Shes the blade and you're just paper
You're afraid cause shes got closer
You're back-steppin and back-stabbing everything in your life
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
One by one you count the fights
Doesn't even matter
That shes got you by surprise
Misery's your master
Shes the blade and you're just paper
You're afraid cause shes got closer
Your back-steppin and shes out wrecking everything in your life
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything
She controlled everything
She stole everything
She controlled everything
Shes the blade
Shes the blade
Shes the blade and you're the paper
Shes the blade and you're just...
Shes the blade and you're just paper
You're afraid cause shes got you closer
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything
She controlled everything
She stole everything
And controlled everything
You can only stagger
Once shes got you in her sight
You're the one shes after
Shes the blade and you're just paper
You're afraid cause shes got closer
You're back-steppin and back-stabbing everything in your life
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
One by one you count the fights
Doesn't even matter
That shes got you by surprise
Misery's your master
Shes the blade and you're just paper
You're afraid cause shes got closer
Your back-steppin and shes out wrecking everything in your life
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything
She controlled everything
She stole everything
She controlled everything
Shes the blade
Shes the blade
Shes the blade and you're the paper
Shes the blade and you're just...
Shes the blade and you're just paper
You're afraid cause shes got you closer
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything your heart desired
Now you want it back
She stole everything
She controlled everything
She stole everything
And controlled everything

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
yea i really love this song and video is awsome the girl in it is F***ing hot. really good song
