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.
I go liquid when you come around
And I know
I go solid but don't get me wrong
Yes I go
I love to watch you when you mess around
With my mind
I'm pathetic but only this time
Who knows?
And I say
It's no more a secret
Go solid, I go liquid
Oh me
If it's the love that we live for how come I didn't know?
Show me an easy way out
Show me an easy way out
Forget the love 'n' get back in the line
With yourself
Try to accept the place where you belong
You belong
I love to teach you though you already know
This time
Stay in touch if you're planning to go
Below
And I say
It's no more a secret
Go solid, I go liquid
Oh me
If it's the love that we live for how come I didn't know?
Show me an easy way out
Show me an easy way out
And I know
I go solid but don't get me wrong
Yes I go
I love to watch you when you mess around
With my mind
I'm pathetic but only this time
Who knows?
And I say
It's no more a secret
Go solid, I go liquid
Oh me
If it's the love that we live for how come I didn't know?
Show me an easy way out
Show me an easy way out
Forget the love 'n' get back in the line
With yourself
Try to accept the place where you belong
You belong
I love to teach you though you already know
This time
Stay in touch if you're planning to go
Below
And I say
It's no more a secret
Go solid, I go liquid
Oh me
If it's the love that we live for how come I didn't know?
Show me an easy way out
Show me an easy way out

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Didn't think that this would be my first lyric interpretation, but whatever...
"Go liquid" could refer to, indeed, having an orgasm. On another level, it could refer to being vulnerable or even allowing yourself to be manipulated. "Go solid" could refer to an erection, and on another level on putting your guard up. The theme of manipulation is supported by "I love to watch it when you mess around with my mind". The singer knows that her words of affection are not truly sincere, but he plays along.
So we clearly have a sexual relationship going on here. In the chorus, the singer is realising that he's ultimately unhappy with the relationship: "Show me an easy way out."
The second verse is about trying to rediscover yourself after such an affair, "forget the love and get back in the line with yourself". Unwisely, he's also leaving the door open for her to come back for more sex: "stay in touch if you're planning to go below", ie. give head. "I love to teach you though you already know" could refer to having more sex, or the singer trying to tell the girl all about herself and her ways, and maybe shows how the manipulation and insencerity is mutual.
