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.
too many tacos
too many takers
taco dogs catch all the wafers
and you foam up to sleep
taco dogs catch all the wafers
and you said it's today
raisin ice cream so we can dance all night
it's the feeling that's alright
from my waist to my toes to close my eyes
that's when I know life is alright
life is alright, life is alright, life is OH
get off it, i'm off it, get off it, oh, i'm off it
too many takers
taco dogs catch all the wafers
and you foam up to sleep
taco dogs catch all the wafers
and you said it's today
raisin ice cream so we can dance all night
it's the feeling that's alright
from my waist to my toes to close my eyes
that's when I know life is alright
life is alright, life is alright, life is OH
get off it, i'm off it, get off it, oh, i'm off it

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.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
is this a joke? there is no way these are the right lyrics
the REAL lyrics are as follows:
too many tacos too many takers taco dogs catch all the wafers and you foam up to sleep taco dogs catch all the wafers and you said it's today
raisin ice cream so we can dance all night it's the feeling that's alright from my waist to my toes to close my eyes that's when I know life is alright life is alright, life is alright, life is OH
get off it, i'm off it, get off it, oh, i'm off it
So on another site the lyrics are this:
"too many talkers too many talkers taakattote gets all the wages and you fold up? to sleep taakatote gets all the wages and you said this today
whistle a tune so we can dance all night it's a feeling that's so right gonna wait till sunrise to close my eyes that's when i know life is so right life is so right life is so right life is so...
get all of it, i'm all of it, get all of it, oh, i'm all of it"
I always thought it was "get over it, I'm over it" etc and "it's a feeling that's alright" "that's when I know life is alright" but I didn't really know. The site I got these lyrics from above wasn't from mika miko, so not for sure that those are correct, although they seem more correct than the ones above...
