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?
With your head in a noose and a grape on a knife
Found you some breakfast or adventuring eye
You smell trouble, well, how should we get some sleep?
When the last of the notes dries dead below skies
Poems about poisonous berries and vines
Would you warm out of the fire of nature, burning up your sheet
You know, I wore mistakes so I'd feel alive
Unlearn perfection a number of times
Just wood un-refurbished sounds more like paradise to me
Oh, the stones'll start talking, bad weathers a sign
Hunters and robbers that drip blood in fall time
Glow star told me, "Better run while the earth holds this heat"
Well, come out in the night
Everybody we know
We'll be laughing and singing
And there won't be no fighting
Well come out in the night
Where all the lasers are firing
And our babies are gurgling
And our elders are wobbly
We're not going underground
Are you going underground?
I'm not going underground
But their light and the pressure is pushing me down
Are you going underground?
I'm not going underground
But we say get to it, just to make the sound
Are you going underground?
I'm not going underground
We're not going underground
Are you going underground?
I'm not going underground now
Cobwebs! Cobwebs!
They took my home, I'm in disoriented glee
Cobwebs! Cobwebs!
They blocked the path that was connecting you and me
Cobwebs! Cobwebs!
It's a sticky case the more I move the less I'm free
Ever since I was a boy I found new ways to view my porridge
Sometimes electric, organic like strawberry meat
Found you some breakfast or adventuring eye
You smell trouble, well, how should we get some sleep?
When the last of the notes dries dead below skies
Poems about poisonous berries and vines
Would you warm out of the fire of nature, burning up your sheet
You know, I wore mistakes so I'd feel alive
Unlearn perfection a number of times
Just wood un-refurbished sounds more like paradise to me
Oh, the stones'll start talking, bad weathers a sign
Hunters and robbers that drip blood in fall time
Glow star told me, "Better run while the earth holds this heat"
Well, come out in the night
Everybody we know
We'll be laughing and singing
And there won't be no fighting
Well come out in the night
Where all the lasers are firing
And our babies are gurgling
And our elders are wobbly
We're not going underground
Are you going underground?
I'm not going underground
But their light and the pressure is pushing me down
Are you going underground?
I'm not going underground
But we say get to it, just to make the sound
Are you going underground?
I'm not going underground
We're not going underground
Are you going underground?
I'm not going underground now
Cobwebs! Cobwebs!
They took my home, I'm in disoriented glee
Cobwebs! Cobwebs!
They blocked the path that was connecting you and me
Cobwebs! Cobwebs!
It's a sticky case the more I move the less I'm free
Ever since I was a boy I found new ways to view my porridge
Sometimes electric, organic like strawberry meat

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

@[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.
Def. a mushroom induced EP, when you eat mushrooms you go to your spirit or soul. I think this song is about death and how when your on mushrooms you know your not going underground when you die.
