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.
Oh, oh, oh (Adelso on this)
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Wish I had one more time
Wish I had one more time
'Cause if I had the chance, I would take it
If you give me your heart one more time on God, I wouldn't break it
Wish I had one more time
Oh-woah-woah, ooh-woah, oh-oh
Let me talk my-
If I had one more time
I would fuck you like I used to
I know you don't trust me like you used to
One more time
Fuck you like I used to
I know you don't trust me like you used to
One more time
I would fuck you like I used to
I wish you could trust me like you used to
One more time
Baby, you should give me one more time, ooh-woah, ooh-woah
And I don't like to call you when you with your friends
'Cause I know you gon' put me on your Bluetooth
And I was tryna call you on your phone
But it be hard 'cause we ain't speakin' like we used to, no, no, no
If you think you a bubble, girl, I'd hate to burst you up
And I'm J.I the don, nigga, you could search me up
The opposition was never my competition
Now they in the back fillin' up clips
Thinkin' they gon' Nerf me up
You got the right to call me stupid if I ever let that happen
And I was broke as fuck, never thought I'd make it rappin'
I was sellin' books and CD's just to eat, I was trappin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just know you a replacement if you fuck wit him after me
And I ain't trippin' off no nigga who take bitches out to Applebee's (ha)
I'ma zelle you sixty bucks to pay for the bill
If I had one more time
I would fuck you like I used to
I know you don't trust me like you used to
One more time
Fuck you like I used to
I know you don't trust me like you used to
One more time
I would fuck you like I used to
I wish you could trust me like you used to
One more time
Baby, you should give me one more time, ooh-woah, ooh-woah
Fuck love, I ain't tryna move it up no more (yeah)
And fuck you, I ain't showin' you no love no more, no, oh
'Cause I don't give a fuck no more
I ain't showin' niggas love no more
Got me feelin' like I'm done with love
Got me feelin' like I'm done with-
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Wish I had one more time

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.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman

"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.
so...I see people can correct the lyrics, but does anyone have a clue what it means??
