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.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Come on, tell me that you're better
And you rather just forget that
Things have gone so far
Yeah, tell me that you're better
And you'd rather just forget that
Things have gone too far
You're all I see, sink into me
Sharpen your teeth, sink into me
Sink in to me (sink in, sink in)
Well, I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me
Now tell me that you're better
And you rather just forget that
Things have gone so far
You tell me that you're better
And you'd rather just forget that
Yeah, things have gone too far
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
You're all I see, sink into me
Sharpen your teeth, sink into me
Sink in to me (sink in, sink in)
Well, I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me
Come on and have your way with me
I'd like to be a note
The kind you could sing
But don't because you're shy
That way I'll live inside your throat
And hang from every word you spoke
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
You're all I see, sink into me (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Sharpen your teeth, sink into me (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)
I'd like to see you have your way
Come on, have your way with me
(And hang from every word you spoke)
I'd like to see you have your way
(Correct each stutter, every slur)
Come on, have your way with me
(Sink into me)
Come on, tell me that you're better
And you rather just forget that
Things have gone so far
Yeah, tell me that you're better
And you'd rather just forget that
Things have gone too far
You're all I see, sink into me
Sharpen your teeth, sink into me
Sink in to me (sink in, sink in)
Well, I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me
Now tell me that you're better
And you rather just forget that
Things have gone so far
You tell me that you're better
And you'd rather just forget that
Yeah, things have gone too far
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
You're all I see, sink into me
Sharpen your teeth, sink into me
Sink in to me (sink in, sink in)
Well, I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me
Come on and have your way with me
I'd like to be a note
The kind you could sing
But don't because you're shy
That way I'll live inside your throat
And hang from every word you spoke
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
You're all I see, sink into me (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Sharpen your teeth, sink into me (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)
I'd like to see you have your way
Come on, have your way with me
(And hang from every word you spoke)
I'd like to see you have your way
(Correct each stutter, every slur)
Come on, have your way with me

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
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.
this song is obviously about twilight...duh. sikeee but i'm super excited for the new album. i was kind of scared about what was gonna come out considering fred's gone and it's been 3+ years since louder now but this does not disappoint. :)
it would be neat if this song was on one of the twilight saga albums......<br /> <br /> what does this song mean btw??
This song is obviously not literal with "Sharpen your teeth, sink into me"<br /> It is not about vampires, or Twilight.
i hate you right now
Ha ha ha that crossed <br /> my mind. but no not about vamps.<br /> Not even sexy ones w/ crazy hair...<br /> Mmmm....
you're an idiot.<br /> why the hell would TBS write a song about twilight?<br /> Lol and they don't mean "sharpen your teeth, sink into me" literally. ever heard of a metaphore??<br /> -_- you twilight fans annoy the shit out of me
