I believe we're moving on up
Your sex karma must be good
Because I'm funny for you

Ain't nobody do me better
When you hit me I'm a cloud
Baby I'm a cloud

I feel my power is flickering
With you it's strange electronic reactions
Yeah

I know that you want to swing
Run and touch my everything
Because I look like a playground to you, playa

Close your eyes and count to three
I'll kiss you where I shouldn't be
Because you look like a playground to me, playa

You are my only luxury item
Anyone try to steal you, I'll fight them
Let's go play some hide and seek
I know you are a little freak
You look like a playground to me, playa
Yeah

I was afraid to call you up
Because you were really hard
To fly on our first try
Try, try, try, try, try

You took me centuries to master
In the next life I will have to learn you faster

I'm not a diamond so you'll flatter
'Cause we're not slaves to physical matter

I know that you want to swing
Run and touch my everything
Because I look like a playground to you, playa

Close your eyes and count to three
I'll kiss you where I shouldn't be
Because you look like a playground to me, playa

You are my only luxury item
Anyone tries to steal you, I'll fight them
Let's go play some hide and seek
I know you are a little freak
You look like a playground to me, playa
Yeah

You look like a playground to me
You look like a playground to me
You look like a playground to me
You look like a playground to me, to me
You look like a playground to me
You look like a playground to me

Close your eyes and count to three
I'll kiss you where I shouldn't be

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.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.
