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.
In a place they say is dead
In the lake that's like an ocean
I count about a billion head
All the time, there's a motion
Palace of the brine
Palace of the brine
I saw the cloning
Of the famous family
I hear the droning
In the shrine of the sea monkey
Palace of the brine
Palace of the brine
Beneath reflections in the fountain
The starry sky in Utah mountains
They are swimming happily
Can't you see?
A life that's so sublime
Palace of the brine
In the lake that's like an ocean
I count about a billion head
All the time, there's a motion
Palace of the brine
Palace of the brine
I saw the cloning
Of the famous family
I hear the droning
In the shrine of the sea monkey
Palace of the brine
Palace of the brine
Beneath reflections in the fountain
The starry sky in Utah mountains
They are swimming happily
Can't you see?
A life that's so sublime
Palace of the brine

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I really liked the above lyrics. Thks for sharing. If you have any other wonderful songs then kindly share it. <a href="removeskintags.com/">removeskintags</a>
