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.
Taking it slow, saving up she
Before she knows it, all I ask before she goes home
She's tired of cryin' and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Does he know how over time you drove her away?
Saving up for the day when she goes
The day when she stands up
For everything that she chose
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say
Saving up for the day when she goes
The day when she stands up
For everything that she chose
Takin' the kids, drivin' away
Turn around the life she let him siphon away
And I've been with you for all of these years
Tell you what I've got to show for all of my tears
The times you hurt me and treated me wrong
Something had to give to stop this thing from going on
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say
She's tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life
And feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Does he know how over time he drove her away?
Before she knows it, all I ask before she goes home
She's tired of cryin' and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Does he know how over time you drove her away?
Saving up for the day when she goes
The day when she stands up
For everything that she chose
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she's gonna say?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
