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.
'36 Hudson in the garage,
all sorts of junk in the unattached spare room.
Dishes in the kitchen sink,
new straw for the old broom,
friends who don't have a clue,
well meaning teachers ...
but down in your arms, in your arms,
I am a wild creature.
Floor two-foot-high with newspapers,
white carpet thick with cat hair,
half-eaten gallons of ice cream in the freezer,
fresh fuel for the sodium flares ...
I write down good reasons to freeze to death
in my spiral-ring notebook.
But in the long tresses of your hair,
I am a babbling brook.
all sorts of junk in the unattached spare room.
Dishes in the kitchen sink,
new straw for the old broom,
friends who don't have a clue,
well meaning teachers ...
but down in your arms, in your arms,
I am a wild creature.
Floor two-foot-high with newspapers,
white carpet thick with cat hair,
half-eaten gallons of ice cream in the freezer,
fresh fuel for the sodium flares ...
I write down good reasons to freeze to death
in my spiral-ring notebook.
But in the long tresses of your hair,
I am a babbling brook.

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.

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.
i enjoy this song quite a bit. cool lyrics.
