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.
When the judgment comes to pass you tremble
When the lion strikes the asp you stumble
When the beggar pass the flask you fumble
When god takes off all her masks you humble
Now you humble
Oh
Is anybody out there far from home?
Is anybody out there on their own?
Is anybody out there all alone?
When the daylight hits the dew you under
When the Christian holds the Jew you plunder
When God says, "Son, I love you", you wonder
When there's nothing you can do you Ganja
Oh
When the singers sing their song you greedy
When the sinners right their wrongs you needy
When the short cut takes too long you speedy
When your victim is too strong you bleeding
Now you bleeding
Oh
He said "These and greater deeds shall be revealed, she who has the power let her heal. Plant your seed and watch it grow, spread the word and let it go"
And
Is anybody out there far from home?
Is anybody out there on their own?
Is anybody out there all alone?
When the lion strikes the asp you stumble
When the beggar pass the flask you fumble
When god takes off all her masks you humble
Now you humble
Oh
Is anybody out there far from home?
Is anybody out there on their own?
Is anybody out there all alone?
When the daylight hits the dew you under
When the Christian holds the Jew you plunder
When God says, "Son, I love you", you wonder
When there's nothing you can do you Ganja
Oh
When the singers sing their song you greedy
When the sinners right their wrongs you needy
When the short cut takes too long you speedy
When your victim is too strong you bleeding
Now you bleeding
Oh
He said "These and greater deeds shall be revealed, she who has the power let her heal. Plant your seed and watch it grow, spread the word and let it go"
And
Is anybody out there far from home?
Is anybody out there on their own?
Is anybody out there all alone?

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.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.
