well look at this!
I see clearly now
look at this!
Are you feeling now?
happiness...
is seldom found
pop a pill!
I'm so damn happy now

feeling things crawl on me
I need my fix today
this is way beyond me
I can't live without you today

well look at this!
I see colors now
look at this!
people ugly now
happiness...
is seldom found
pop a pill!
I'm so damn happy now


feeling things crawl on me
I need my fix today
this is way beyond me
I can't live without you today

you today...
you today...

I don't care about anything around me
even all the love that surrounds me
break me
be me
I don't care about anything
I do this to shut off the voice within
within...
within...

I don't care about anything!

feeling things crawl on me
I need my fix today
this is way beyond me
I can't live without you today

you today...
you today...
you today...


feeling things crawl on me
I need my fix today
this is way beyond me
I can't live without you today

    Well i think it's less about drugs, but more about psycho-medication (Sorry for the word, I'm austrian) When you are depressed, you go to the psychiatrist, but instead of exploring your problem, he just puts you on medication, so you can function for society.

    But that's just my opinion^^

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.

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.

Gadjits, The
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.

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.
