Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
Baby, I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
Baby, I just don't have anything, anything
Since I don't have you, I don't have you
I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
Baby, I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you, I don't have you
I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
Baby, I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you
And I don't have hopes and dreams
Baby, I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
Baby, I just don't have anything, anything
Since I don't have you, I don't have you
I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
Baby, I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you, I don't have you
I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
Baby, I just don't have anything
Since I don't have you

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
This is a great song from The Dirty Boogie. This is BSO at its finest, but then again, when is BSO not at it's finest? One of my favorites from the CD.
