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.
My princess is in another castle baby
Oh no, I don’t mind the hassle ladies
So I leap into the streets
And try to grab mushrooms to eat, yeah
My princess is in another castle...
Cause I was born to jump, born to rock
Born to jump, born to rock, rock, rock
My princess is on the floor
Yeah she wants to hear some rock ‘n’ roll (x4)
Dungeon's where the monster hides
Fireball in his eyes
Fireball is a hot jawbreaker
I’ll break your jaw
And then I’ll see you later
My princess is in another castle baby
Oh no, I don’t mind the hassle ladies
So I leap into the streets
And try and grab mushrooms to eat, yeah
My princess is in another castle...
Cause I was born to jump, born to rock
Born to jump, born to rock, rock, rock
My princess is on the floor
Yeah she wants to hear some rock ‘n’ roll (x4)
You know she hates being left alone
So I warp right to her zone
Warp zone, you can go much faster
But don't be late, it’ll be a disaster
Born to jump, born to rock
Born to jump, born to rock
Said I was born to jump, born to rock
Born to jump, born to rock, rock, rock
My princess is in another castle baby
Oh no, I don’t mind the hassle ladies
So I leap into the streets
And try to grab mushrooms to eat, yeah
My princess is in another castle...
Oh no, I don’t mind the hassle ladies
So I leap into the streets
And try to grab mushrooms to eat, yeah
My princess is in another castle...
Cause I was born to jump, born to rock
Born to jump, born to rock, rock, rock
My princess is on the floor
Yeah she wants to hear some rock ‘n’ roll (x4)
Dungeon's where the monster hides
Fireball in his eyes
Fireball is a hot jawbreaker
I’ll break your jaw
And then I’ll see you later
My princess is in another castle baby
Oh no, I don’t mind the hassle ladies
So I leap into the streets
And try and grab mushrooms to eat, yeah
My princess is in another castle...
Cause I was born to jump, born to rock
Born to jump, born to rock, rock, rock
My princess is on the floor
Yeah she wants to hear some rock ‘n’ roll (x4)
You know she hates being left alone
So I warp right to her zone
Warp zone, you can go much faster
But don't be late, it’ll be a disaster
Born to jump, born to rock
Born to jump, born to rock
Said I was born to jump, born to rock
Born to jump, born to rock, rock, rock
My princess is in another castle baby
Oh no, I don’t mind the hassle ladies
So I leap into the streets
And try to grab mushrooms to eat, yeah
My princess is in another castle...

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
