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.
In the darkness your heart is breaking with no one there
There's a sadness, you shed a tear but no one cares
Keep on running from the shattered dreams you can't repair
Look for comfort, your empty life's so hard to bear
In the middle of the night when you think you can't go on
Can't you take it
In a broken state of mind, will you make it
When the waves of loneliness rush to tear your life apart
Will they drown you
Is it freedom that you want
Take me away, Monday morning breakdown
You can't escape, early warning cry
At the crossroads, the breaking point it all too near
In your madness, the road to nowhere seems so clear
If every single day brings you closer to the edge
Look around you
Get out if you can, do you want to
It's a matter of time and you're gonna draw the line
That surrounds you
When you're out on a limb, hold on
Take me away, Monday morning breakdown
It's here to stay, early warning cry
You can't escape, that Monday morning breakdown
Come on Take me
You can't change the world, you can't change the past
You can't change your mind, so this one's got to last
In the middle of the night when you think you can't go on
Can't you take it
In a broken state of mind, will you make it
When the waves of loneliness rush to tear your life apart
Will they drown you
Gotta get out! Gotta get out!
Take me away, Monday morning breakdown
Early warning cry
You can't escape, that Monday morning breakdown
There's a sadness, you shed a tear but no one cares
Keep on running from the shattered dreams you can't repair
Look for comfort, your empty life's so hard to bear
In the middle of the night when you think you can't go on
Can't you take it
In a broken state of mind, will you make it
When the waves of loneliness rush to tear your life apart
Will they drown you
Is it freedom that you want
Take me away, Monday morning breakdown
You can't escape, early warning cry
At the crossroads, the breaking point it all too near
In your madness, the road to nowhere seems so clear
If every single day brings you closer to the edge
Look around you
Get out if you can, do you want to
It's a matter of time and you're gonna draw the line
That surrounds you
When you're out on a limb, hold on
Take me away, Monday morning breakdown
It's here to stay, early warning cry
You can't escape, that Monday morning breakdown
Come on Take me
You can't change the world, you can't change the past
You can't change your mind, so this one's got to last
In the middle of the night when you think you can't go on
Can't you take it
In a broken state of mind, will you make it
When the waves of loneliness rush to tear your life apart
Will they drown you
Gotta get out! Gotta get out!
Take me away, Monday morning breakdown
Early warning cry
You can't escape, that Monday morning breakdown

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.
