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.
I ain't got no fillin'
I'mma let these n****s know
I been killin' 'em with these beats
Now I'm spittin' them killer flows
Whatcha know about me dog
Not a damn thing
Gotta problem? You can see me in the streets dog
I'm a one man game
Don't take this lightly
If I want you dead and gone
I can make that happen because
N****, my bread is long
I done been on both sides of the tracks
You can say I trained the game
A lotta n****s tryna get in my lane
E'rybody askin me the same ol' thing
What they say
Oh, Timbaland
Where he gon' run to
Nowhere
Oh, Timbaland

I ain't goin' nowhere dog
I'mma be right here in ya face
Can't do it like me, dog
Your kick drum ain't got enough ba**
Don't ever talk bad about me
You just might make me mad
And I just might see you somewhere
And break your a** in half
This not the Timbaland you used to
Now I'm in a whole 'nother zone
You can let me do me
You can do you
Or get popped in ya door
Hit love on the verge to the block
So recognize the game
Timbaland ain't gonna run nowhere, baby
Timbaland got private planes
Oh, Timbaland
Where he gon' run to

Sometime long ago
I seen the life
Don't act like you ain't seen it before
I'm listenin', dog
You ain't sayin s***
You can keep on wishin'
You never make a hit
Yeah, I got money
Take it all from me
I'mma gon be the same
You can get a few whips
You can get a few chips
You still gon' be a lame
We ain't the same, my n****
I'm on some other s***
I'mma say this plain and simple
N****, take this punishment
I'mma take y'all on a trip
I'mma take y'all on a ride
And one day I'm gon' dip
But I won't be hard to find
Oh, Timbaland

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.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Catchy
Definetly catchy. I like the beginning of the song the most. Chorus is iffy for me, but I still like this song a lot. :)
i suppose one of the better songs on the album, but probably because it is a rip off of sinnerman by nina simone, a far superior song. oh and the lyrics on oh timbaland are the exact same as every other song he's written.
