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.
it's a custom made afternoon
with shrinking hands I can't keep to myself
springtime. . . saturday
perfect in an easy way
and it's a custom mary sin
for angels in the dark
a lighter spark to brighten her skies
fingers feeling fingers feeling fine
'just might change this life of mine
and I'm up on inspiration drive
if you could see what I've seen
patchwork woman sunshine suits you fine
sleeping with her sandals on
in a california dream
I'm singing
"la-la-la-la-la-la think I'm up to something"
and on a custom made afternoon the candle she burns
the wheels turn and four eyes look away
wood is getting tangled up in steam
blue and hazel mix to green
and I'm up on inspiration drive
if you could see what I've seen
patchwork woman sunshine suits you fine
perfect in an easy way
the words behind the words
I'm singing
"la-la-la-la-la-la"
and I'm up on inspiration drive
if you could see what I've seen
with shrinking hands I can't keep to myself
springtime. . . saturday
perfect in an easy way
and it's a custom mary sin
for angels in the dark
a lighter spark to brighten her skies
fingers feeling fingers feeling fine
'just might change this life of mine
and I'm up on inspiration drive
if you could see what I've seen
patchwork woman sunshine suits you fine
sleeping with her sandals on
in a california dream
I'm singing
"la-la-la-la-la-la think I'm up to something"
and on a custom made afternoon the candle she burns
the wheels turn and four eyes look away
wood is getting tangled up in steam
blue and hazel mix to green
and I'm up on inspiration drive
if you could see what I've seen
patchwork woman sunshine suits you fine
perfect in an easy way
the words behind the words
I'm singing
"la-la-la-la-la-la"
and I'm up on inspiration drive
if you could see what I've seen

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?

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 one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well I'm kind of dosed and this is what I needed to hear. I wonder if English majors hear his lyrics and think he's not that good.
Doesn't matter. I'm enjoying it.
