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.
It's biting it's teething it's biting I'm bleeding
It's calling it's crawling it's calling and I'm falling
The perfect sound of middle ground
Pull me under before I try to drag you down
Someone has to pull me under before
I try to drag you down
They're fighting they're growing they're fighting and I'm growing
I'm biting I'm teething I'm bleeding
It's calling it's crawling it's calling and I'm falling
The perfect sound of middle ground
Pull me under before I try to drag you down
Someone has to pull me under before
I try to drag you down
They're fighting they're growing they're fighting and I'm growing
I'm biting I'm teething I'm bleeding

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.

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?
