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.
My parachute didnt open, and when my back up failed, the pixie dust prevailed, and I woke up next to you. All I wanted was to hold you.
I was born in the city, however small it held a hospital, the location where I came into being.
It was all downhill from there.
what do you do when your lifes a disaster, and you're moving faster, and its getting harder to breathe?
what do you say, to someone who's right, but you disagree, even if its the truth?
I was told "You are depressed." by a little bird, that was severely hurt, as it did not notice my window.
It just flew where ever the wind blows.
As it convulsed on the pavement, it whispered "I am hated."
"your genetic flaws" I said "say it all you cant decipher reflections from reality, but neither can I...
i notice neither can I...
I notice neither can I...
I notice neither can I"
You are the cirle, I am the sqaure,
I have the non cut, you have the cool hair.
We both take showers, for almost an hour, but only once a week or two.
What do you do when your lifes a disaster, and you're moving faster, and its getting harder to breathe?
What do you say, to someone whos right, but you disagree even if its the truth.

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.

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.
well he did drugs for a while then went to rehab and thats where he gets most ideas for his songs, that or Madi
