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.
Sweat drips in my eyes, screams of lust we cry
Tonight you are everything to me, you're everything,
You're everything to me no more
As I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Eden's walls, I can not stay and live this lie?
For I must think only of myself
And to think that you would not be scared or surprised if I'd severed all these ties
this is the end
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions, would this be the same?
Broken pieces will not mend to save our past now, go away,
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
Now we must let go, urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again,
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
In my mind, blood drips from your eyes.
A beautiful last goodbye.
Tonight you are everything to me, you're everything,
You're everything to me no more
As I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Eden's walls, I can not stay and live this lie?
For I must think only of myself
And to think that you would not be scared or surprised if I'd severed all these ties
this is the end
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions, would this be the same?
Broken pieces will not mend to save our past now, go away,
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
Now we must let go, urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again,
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
In my mind, blood drips from your eyes.
A beautiful last goodbye.

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.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Very great mix done by alesana. did anyone catch them at any date at the warped tour ? xo♥Larry
