Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
Oh, little did she know
Couldn't let me go
Already a part of her
So, often do I need
People in between
That just can't get a hold of it
So we'll just sing it for them
Ahh, yeah, we'll just sing it for them
(Just can't get a hold of it)
So we'll just sing it for them
Ahh, yeah, we'll just sing it
It's the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine
But you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
Slow, leave walking to the world
Give your feet a chance
They'll do all the thinking
Toast high until they find
Less pathetic wine
Until they get a better blend
Then we'll just drink it for them
Ahh, yeah we'll just drink it for them
('Til they get a better blend)
So we'll just drink it for them
Ahh, yeah we'll just drink it
It's the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine
But you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
It's the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine
But you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
Couldn't let me go
Already a part of her
So, often do I need
People in between
That just can't get a hold of it
So we'll just sing it for them
Ahh, yeah, we'll just sing it for them
(Just can't get a hold of it)
So we'll just sing it for them
Ahh, yeah, we'll just sing it
It's the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine
But you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
Slow, leave walking to the world
Give your feet a chance
They'll do all the thinking
Toast high until they find
Less pathetic wine
Until they get a better blend
Then we'll just drink it for them
Ahh, yeah we'll just drink it for them
('Til they get a better blend)
So we'll just drink it for them
Ahh, yeah we'll just drink it
It's the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine
But you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
It's the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
Imagine knowing me
It's the greatest thing you'd ever imagine
But you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there
No, you'll never know until you're there

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Not every song that sounds like another song is a 'fucking rip-off'...
