Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him tell me where are you going
This he told me said
I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
Got to get back to the land
And get my soul free
We are stardust
We're golden
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Can I walk along beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a part of something
Turning round and round
And maybe it's the time of year
Maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
We are stardust
We're golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was the song
And the celebration
And I dreamed I saw
The bomber jet planes fly
Fire a shot into the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
We're golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
He was walking along the road
And I asked him tell me where are you going
This he told me said
I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
Got to get back to the land
And get my soul free
We are stardust
We're golden
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Can I walk along beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a part of something
Turning round and round
And maybe it's the time of year
Maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
We are stardust
We're golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was the song
And the celebration
And I dreamed I saw
The bomber jet planes fly
Fire a shot into the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
We're golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
