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.
Here we are once again
It's the same old story
You and I, me and you
Playin' we're just friends
When are we gonna learn that we don't
have a choice we both know how it ends
So we just choose to pretend
In a way it's all sad and very
For the way that things have been
We fall out of love and back in love again uuuh
We'll go round and round and still say
we're just friends.
Gotta stop gotta chill
Makes no sense to be falling
You got her, I got him
Should not even be calling
We can try if we want
but we don't have a choice
About the way we feel
It's hard to stop when something's real
In a way it's all sad and very
For the way that things have been
We fall out of love and back in love again
In a way it's all kinda scary
The things that we can't admit
We fall out of love and back in love again
oh yeah
We'll go round and round and still say
we're just friends.
Still got the charm and
I miss that burn in my heart and
I must stay away from your arms
So I don't fall (Don't fall)
Fall (Don't fall)
Fall (Don't fall)
Fall
In a way it's all kinda scary
The things that we can't admit
We fall out of love and back in love again
Yeah.
We'll go round and round and still say
We'll go round and round and still say
We'll go round and round and still say we're just friends.
(Still just friends)
Just friends
It's the same old story
You and I, me and you
Playin' we're just friends
When are we gonna learn that we don't
have a choice we both know how it ends
So we just choose to pretend
In a way it's all sad and very
For the way that things have been
We fall out of love and back in love again uuuh
We'll go round and round and still say
we're just friends.
Gotta stop gotta chill
Makes no sense to be falling
You got her, I got him
Should not even be calling
We can try if we want
but we don't have a choice
About the way we feel
It's hard to stop when something's real
In a way it's all sad and very
For the way that things have been
We fall out of love and back in love again
In a way it's all kinda scary
The things that we can't admit
We fall out of love and back in love again
oh yeah
We'll go round and round and still say

Yeah.
We'll go round and round and still say
We'll go round and round and still say
We'll go round and round and still say we're just friends.
(Still just friends)

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 song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
