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.
Here I come
My mind is set
Get ready for love
You're my ten second pet
Touch my gun
But don't pull my trigger
Let's make history
In the elevator
Or lock the door
Shine my pistol some more
Here I cum
Just ten seconds more
Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Pull my trigger
My guns loaded with your love
Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Just wait honey
Till I tell the boys about you
Bring a girlfriend
Maybe bring two
I got my camera
Make a star outta you
Let's inject it
Photograph it
Down to the subway
Let the boys have it
(Talk)
Reach down low
Slide it in real slow
I want to hear your engines roar
Before I'm in the door
(Talk)
You feel so good
Do you want some more
I got one more shot
Before I'm out the door
(Talk)
Was it hot for you
Did you fire this round
The second that I'm through
I'll be leaving this town
My mind is set
Get ready for love
You're my ten second pet
Touch my gun
But don't pull my trigger
Let's make history
In the elevator
Or lock the door
Shine my pistol some more
Here I cum
Just ten seconds more
Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Pull my trigger
My guns loaded with your love
Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Just wait honey
Till I tell the boys about you
Bring a girlfriend
Maybe bring two
I got my camera
Make a star outta you
Let's inject it
Photograph it
Down to the subway
Let the boys have it
(Talk)
Reach down low
Slide it in real slow
I want to hear your engines roar
Before I'm in the door
(Talk)
You feel so good
Do you want some more
I got one more shot
Before I'm out the door
(Talk)
Was it hot for you
Did you fire this round
The second that I'm through
I'll be leaving this town

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Apparently if you listen really hard to this song you should be able to hear squelchy noises in the background from the guys fucking groupies while it was recording.
some of the sleaziest lyrics i've ever heard. I love it love it love it.
obvs about wen theyr havin sex and r about to come. nd i reli doubt they had sex while recording it coz ud hav to b reli skilled to sing/play bass/guitar/drums while having sex

some of these lyrics are wrong:
Where it says "Get ready for love your attached like a cat" its actually "get ready for love, your my 10 second pet" ....anyway, great song...very sexual ;-)
LOL at "attached like a cat"... soph153 is absolutely right.
