Third Alternative Lyrics
My hands up to the maker
My head's down in the bomb
I swim in bloated vision
And I kiss you on the phone
My heart beats so atomic
And I spill the sweat of drones
A mouth screams to a hundred
And my lips split all alone
Sometimes I thing this pig will just explode
Sometimes I hope this torture just goes on
Well I'll stuff myself in a pit of darkness
And I'll slam 'til I can't see home
Would you like to hope for Eden
That I keep a steady hand
Do you want to milk the syrup
Of a thousand year old man
Shall we fuck each other's babies
Let momentum do its best
Keep our shrieking little urges
In our burned out little heads
Well I sense a slight recoil
Was it something that I said
Sometimes I think this pig will just explode
Sometimes I hope this torture goes on
Well I'll stuff myself in a pit of darkness
And I'll slam 'til I can't see home
Dropping off the edge of nowhere
Everything I've ever known
This is what you asked for, now this is what you'll get
Sometimes I think this pig will just explode
Sometimes I hope this torture just goes on
Well I'll stuff myself in a pit of darkness
And I'll slam 'til I can't see home
Dropping off the edge of nowhere
Everything I've ever known
My head's down in the bomb
I swim in bloated vision
And I kiss you on the phone
My heart beats so atomic
And I spill the sweat of drones
A mouth screams to a hundred
And my lips split all alone
Sometimes I hope this torture just goes on
Well I'll stuff myself in a pit of darkness
And I'll slam 'til I can't see home
That I keep a steady hand
Do you want to milk the syrup
Of a thousand year old man
Shall we fuck each other's babies
Let momentum do its best
Keep our shrieking little urges
In our burned out little heads
Well I sense a slight recoil
Was it something that I said
Sometimes I hope this torture goes on
Well I'll stuff myself in a pit of darkness
And I'll slam 'til I can't see home
Dropping off the edge of nowhere
Everything I've ever known
Sometimes I hope this torture just goes on
Well I'll stuff myself in a pit of darkness
And I'll slam 'til I can't see home
Dropping off the edge of nowhere
Everything I've ever known

Dave stated at a concert once that this song is about (paraphrasing) "Being in a destructive relationship, but the sex is just so good you never want it to end" Which is kind of what I always got out of it anyways. "I'll stuff myself in a pit of darkness, and I'll slam till I can't see home" is obviously about sex in that context.
I also personally think it's a relationship involving an older man and younger woman... "Do you want to milk the syrup of a thousand year old man?" and "Shall we fuck each others babies?"
I think a lot of people mistakenly interpret Monster Magnet lyrics as all being about drugs (which is understandable, since Dave does often mention drugs) when they're usually about something deeper. I think Dave uses drugs as a metaphor for other things quite often.
Dave never slammed (shot up) dope, did he? Sounds like he's slammin something and he hates it. Maybe coke?
Nah, purportedly Dave never once tried the shit, but the entire album is still full of references to heroin (not evidenced in the title tack Dopes to Infinity which could just mean dopes as in drugs of all types). In Dopes to Infinity Dave sings "We burn that mountain down," and in Look to Your Orb for the Warning he sings "How much does one have to pay to fry a peak and melt away." It's weard how this album starts off glorifying dope and then goes into remorse over using it, like Dave's telling us a story with this...

Then we end with Vertigo which sounds like what i imagine doing dope would sound like (like dave this is the sole drug i've never even tried--this song does give me vertigo when i listen to it). All Friends and Kingdom Come appears to be a break from dope to eat some mushrooms, with the booming down/up octave riff and tremolo effect on one of the guitars. Of course, any of these songs could have multiple meanings.
The lyrics must inspired by the conspiracy theory named alternative sollution 3. The planet is doomed and an elit is gathering scientists and great brains to bases on the Moon and Mars. They re supposed to use abdacted humans with lobotomy as slaves there and prepare to build a new world for them.
I definitely think it is about drugs, although there are references to pedophilia. Fuck each other's babies is NOT a reference to sex with a young woman as someone mentioned. Slamming and going down into darkness are drug references, or perhaps depression (torture). Keeping a steady hand, hoping for Eden, seems to refer to shooting up. It's a mass of contradictions and hidden messages, as are many of their song lyrics.
