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.
Well I just cant get your voice out of my head.
The way you look when your tryin so hard to take back what you just said. Well i dont care, the only thing that matters is you were here.
Six hours aint much in the grand whole span of time, but its enough to keep us apart no matter how much id like, to have you here tonight, laughin by my side.
To see your eyes as you marvel at the city life.
Forget reality the pictures nice.
Well yeah you marvel at the city life.
Forget reality the pictures nice, nice, nice.
But your smilin as you say good bye.
Well i just cant bring myself to say your gone again.
Safely tucked away on a train with your sister fighting.
Well it aint fair, the only thing that matters and your never there. To never eat your food, and leave a mess.
Were laughin at the sun rise
Drinkin while the day dies
Singin as the stars fly
(livin in the city life)
Were laughin at the sun rise
Drinkin while the day dies
Singin as the stars fly
(livin in the city life)
Were laughin at the sun rise
Drinkin while the day dies
Singin as the stars fly
(livin in the city life)
Were laughin at the sun rise
Drinkin while the day dies
Singin as the stars fly
But your smilin as you say goodbye.
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...

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.

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.
good song
