Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
Send in the clouds. Bring down the rain.
Shut all the blinds, turn out the lights:
I feel insane when you get in my bed.
I am the trick my mother played on the world
Seventeen doctors couldn't decide
whether I should be allowed in the game.
What can't monsters get along with other monsters?
Soi disantra, soi disantra…
I know a puppy who walked form Kentucky.
Made to East Virginia by dawn.
He had seventeen ideas in his head.
Windex tears flow down the robot's face.
He's never felt a lover's embrace.
My momma named me after a king.
I'm gonna bury my name in you.
What can't monsters get along with other monsters?
Soi disantra, soi disantra…

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It is a great song. I still don't know what soi disantra means though. I read somewhere that it means "self-styled." The lyrics here are a bit wrong. It should be "Windex tears flow down the robot's face. He never felt a mother's embrace."
