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.
Whoo, did you ever seem to have one of those days
When everyone's on your case from your teacher all the way down to your best girlfriend?
Well you know, I used to have this, but all the time
But I found a way to get out of it
Lemme tell you bout
Sittin' in the classroom thinkin' it's a drag
Listening to the teacher rap just ain't my bag
By the two-bells ring, you know it's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two
Smokin' in the boys' room
Smokin' in the boys' room
Man, teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
'Cause everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
Checkin' out the halls makin' sure the coast is clear
Lookin' in the stalls, nah, there ain't nobody here
My buddies Sixx, Mick and Tom
To get caught would surely be the death of us all
Smokin' in the boys' room
We're smokin' in the boys' room
Man, teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
'Cause everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
Hey, can I be excused?
Well, put me to work in the school bookstore
Checkout counter, and I got bored
Teacher was lookin' for me all around
Two hours later you know where I was found
Smokin' in the boys' room
I tell you, I was smokin' in the boys' room
Now, now, now, teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school, hey everybody
Smokin' in the boys' room
Smokin' in the boys' room
I tell you, I was smokin' in the boys' room
Smokin' in the boys' room
Hey, teacher don't you fill me up with your rules
'Cause everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
One more
Smokin' in the boys' room
Smokin' in the boys' room
Now, teacher, I ain't foolin' around with your rules
'Cause everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school

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?
Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
