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.
So it's sad this doesn't suit you now and me fresh out of rope
Please ignore the lisp, I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me and make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to this and you
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
Fix me to a chain around your neck, wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot, I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised, do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose, it's only you
We're wrecking and I'm dry like a drum
When you scream so fine, I'll leave
We're spending, take our time and trials measured in miles
We slave for days and weeks
It's only you, beautiful, or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect lies from a perfect dame
If I could choose, it's only you
Please ignore the lisp, I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me and make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to this and you
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
Fix me to a chain around your neck, wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot, I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised, do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose, it's only you
We're wrecking and I'm dry like a drum
When you scream so fine, I'll leave
We're spending, take our time and trials measured in miles
We slave for days and weeks
It's only you, beautiful, or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect lies from a perfect dame
If I could choose, it's only you

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?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Deja Entendu is 10x better than Your Favorite Weapon. Instead of just cranking out another pop-punk catchy album, Brand New has put out a very matured emo album.
Anyways, good song
