High life
Took you to a movie but you moved away
Froze into a standstill my feet turned to clay
Looked into the sky for some good advice
A curious shadow angle poised
Circled twice then tossed me a carcass
Sold you a Dalmatian but the spots fell off
Pooled them all together as a hairy moth
Bred it with a lion but it flew away
Now it chases drones around the sky
Growls and grunts 'til you feed it a blemish
I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with apocalypse
An instant hit
Saw the Virgin Mary she was crying blood
Tears congregate into a mighty flood
Give her some directions to a specialist
An eye doctor to help her cyst
She took the wrong turn to the family planning
Saw Lord Lucan riding Shergar to the shops last night
Couldn't be positive in the candle light
Chased them in a Mustang to a Kwik Save till
Searched for words to fit the bill
Dug myself a hole then I fell into a vacuum
I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with apocalypse
An instant hit
Froze into a standstill my feet turned to clay
Looked into the sky for some good advice
A curious shadow angle poised
Circled twice then tossed me a carcass
Sold you a Dalmatian but the spots fell off
Pooled them all together as a hairy moth
Bred it with a lion but it flew away
Now it chases drones around the sky
Growls and grunts 'til you feed it a blemish
I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with apocalypse
An instant hit
Saw the Virgin Mary she was crying blood
Tears congregate into a mighty flood
Give her some directions to a specialist
An eye doctor to help her cyst
She took the wrong turn to the family planning
Saw Lord Lucan riding Shergar to the shops last night
Couldn't be positive in the candle light
Chased them in a Mustang to a Kwik Save till
Searched for words to fit the bill
Dug myself a hole then I fell into a vacuum
I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with apocalypse
An instant hit

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.
I think it's just sort of surrealist and doesn't have to much of a concrete meaning.
Mostly it's just weird imagery, I think. But there could be a basic plot. I can see it a few ways.
One would be maybe about a girl he likes, but she doesn't really like him back. Like, he took her to the movie but she moved away, and the dalmation's spots fell off. He was trying hard for her, but it wasn't good enough, or she didn't respond. And that's why the kissing is with apocalypse, which is not a good thing. But he still can't get enough of her, even though she lets him down.
Another way I can see it is it has to do with drugs. Sort of similar Something for the Weekend. It could explain some of the imagery. And how he keeps coming back to it, but also has a bad relationship with it.
But I don't really think there is much of a basic plot.
The original version had lyrics they had written on the way to a Peel session. Here are the lyrics for that one:
Knocked out cold in a circular movement, drowned Stabbed in the back of a cut in the head Left for dead, dead and really unsteady
Ate a lot of it again King Kong, take the money and then pay for it Zoom back just a little
Ate a lot of it again King Kong, ate the money and then paid for it Zoom in, zoom back a little
Monster equipped with a stick feel mud in carpet boots Tasseled flares, always trip me up with worst concussion Locked out cold, fucking marvellous
