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.
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home, because I haven't got one anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I want to see lights
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home, because it's not my home
It's their home, and I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care
And in a darkened underpass I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask)
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
Just driving in your car
I never never want to go home, because I haven't got one
I haven't got one...
Where there's music and there's people who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home, because I haven't got one anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I want to see lights
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home, because it's not my home
It's their home, and I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care
And in a darkened underpass I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask)
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
Just driving in your car
I never never want to go home, because I haven't got one
I haven't got one...

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?

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.

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.
