He certainly did earn that reputation.
He was a king 'til she laid waste
Now he can not fill up the space
And I just see him drifting, while he's drifting On Bourbon Alley, feeling low
Just because she let him go
I don't think he even knows
He'll ever be fine
[Chorus]
And he's got a head full of ideas, let me tell ya
That you wouldn't believe
And he's got a heart made of pure gold
And something else, so many tricks up his sleeve
You might think he's a jester because he'll
Make you laugh â??til you cry
And what else, you better come with your best if you test him
Unless you're ready to die
Wonder woman got rid of wonder man
That man's not part of her wonder plan
Letter to the so called, better bet on my man
Believe it you will find out, baby, damn
[Chorus]
A million people come and go
Through a person's ebb and flow
And faces keep on changing, while they're changing
A certain few will stay intact
When they're not, they'll don an act
I know this important fact
Don't get confused like
[Chorus]
First you love him, then you're loving him not
All the while, he just smiles, giving all that he's got
Do you find it in your heart to say he's not what you sought?
Do you want me to continue with this, or what?
Whoa, yeah, whoa, yeah
Head full of ideas, let me tell ya
That you wouldn't believe
And he's got a heart made of pure gold
And something else, so many tricks up his sleeve Sleeve, sleeve
Now he can not fill up the space
And I just see him drifting, while he's drifting On Bourbon Alley, feeling low
Just because she let him go
I don't think he even knows
He'll ever be fine
[Chorus]
And he's got a head full of ideas, let me tell ya
That you wouldn't believe
And he's got a heart made of pure gold
And something else, so many tricks up his sleeve
You might think he's a jester because he'll
Make you laugh â??til you cry
And what else, you better come with your best if you test him
Unless you're ready to die
Wonder woman got rid of wonder man
That man's not part of her wonder plan
Letter to the so called, better bet on my man
Believe it you will find out, baby, damn
[Chorus]
A million people come and go
Through a person's ebb and flow
And faces keep on changing, while they're changing
A certain few will stay intact
When they're not, they'll don an act
I know this important fact
Don't get confused like
[Chorus]
First you love him, then you're loving him not
All the while, he just smiles, giving all that he's got
Do you find it in your heart to say he's not what you sought?
Do you want me to continue with this, or what?
Whoa, yeah, whoa, yeah
Head full of ideas, let me tell ya
That you wouldn't believe
And he's got a heart made of pure gold
And something else, so many tricks up his sleeve Sleeve, sleeve

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
KungFuChica....you're wrong, and totally wasted in space. This song is good...but far inferior to some of the other songs on the record. Check out Hostile Apostle or Uncalm (my personal favs) for more fun.
