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.
I..I..I..I..I..
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
When you''re away at work
I''m seeing this other guy
he''s treating me really well
you know i don''t ask for much
It''s so hard to be alone
you''re always gone
It''s so hard to be alone
you''re always gone
(gone, gone, gone...)
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
Sorry to break your heart
(but you don''t really give me much choice, do ya)
but i have to live my life
(all i wanna do is to dance and have fun)
It''s so hard when you''re away
I''m all alone
It''s so hard when you''re away
I''m all alone
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
(Ohh-whoa Ohh-whoa Ohh-whoa)
I wanna tell you this....
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..

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.

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.
After trying to find the title of this song and reading through the lyrics, I interpret this song as being about a lonely lady, who loves to dance and party. Her partner is always busy with his full-time job, and doesn't find much time to go to dances or parties with her. Eventually, it gets too much for her, so she starts seeing someone else. Although she regrets leaving him, she's sure she's making the right decision.
