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.
Well you know I look like a woman but I
Cut like a buffalo
Stand up like a tower, tall
But I fall
Just like a domino
You can hit me if you want to, hey
Do whatever makes you happy
You should try to take it easy on me
Cause I don't know how to take it
You're a prick with a pin woman,yeah
Wake me up when it's broke
Only if it's broken
You know I treat you like a joke but you
Can't tell when I'm joking
You cut a record on my throat
But the record's not broken
Cut a record on my throat
But the record's not broken
Is that you choking?
Is that you choking?
Is that you choking?
Or are you just joking?
You know I look like a woman but I
Cut it like a buffalo
Wake me up when it's broke
Just like a woman
You cut a record on my throat then you
Break me wide open
Is that you joking with me, yeah
You can do me if you like to
Whatever makes you happy
But don't take it easy on me
All never take it easy
Well you know I look like a woman but I
Cut like a buffalo
Stand up like a tower, tall
But I fall
Just like a domino
You're a prick with a pin woman
Push it into my skin, girl
I'm a prick when I sin and I
Know I can't win
You know I look like a woman and I
Cut like a buffalo
Cut like a buffalo
Stand up like a tower, tall
But I fall
Just like a domino
You can hit me if you want to, hey
Do whatever makes you happy
You should try to take it easy on me
Cause I don't know how to take it
You're a prick with a pin woman,yeah
Wake me up when it's broke
Only if it's broken
You know I treat you like a joke but you
Can't tell when I'm joking
You cut a record on my throat
But the record's not broken
Cut a record on my throat
But the record's not broken
Is that you choking?
Is that you choking?
Is that you choking?
Or are you just joking?
You know I look like a woman but I
Cut it like a buffalo
Wake me up when it's broke
Just like a woman
You cut a record on my throat then you
Break me wide open
Is that you joking with me, yeah
You can do me if you like to
Whatever makes you happy
But don't take it easy on me
All never take it easy
Well you know I look like a woman but I
Cut like a buffalo
Stand up like a tower, tall
But I fall
Just like a domino
You're a prick with a pin woman
Push it into my skin, girl
I'm a prick when I sin and I
Know I can't win
You know I look like a woman and I
Cut like a buffalo

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.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection 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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
My absolute favorite song on the album. I remember reading the same things LizardKing said. Good interpretation, I say. It was the impression I got.
