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.
Locked in the basement I'm so paranoid
I'm all encased in and I can't escape
And when I look up Mother's looking down
And when I wake up Mother's not around
'Cause if you want you can have everything that I've got
If you want you can take it all away from me
Away from me Away from me Away from me
Nobody's perfect but you just can't see
My life's a circus that you don't believe
You're saying something but not coming clean
And when I look up Mother's living
She's living in a dream
'Cause if you want you can have everything that I've got
If you want you can take it all away from me
And if you're unsatisfied well I'll watch you wave goodbye
If you want you can take it all away from me
Please don't come down and see me this way
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
Please don't come down and see me this way
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
I'm too afraid I'm too afraid
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
I'm too afraid I'm too afraid
I'm too afraid I'm too afraid
'Cause if you want you can have everything that I've got
If you want you can take it all away from me
'Cause if you want you can have everything that I've got
If you want you can take it all away from me
And if you're unsatisfied well I'll watch you wave goodbye
If you want you can take it all away from me
Away from me Away from me Away from me
I'm all encased in and I can't escape
And when I look up Mother's looking down
And when I wake up Mother's not around
'Cause if you want you can have everything that I've got
If you want you can take it all away from me
Away from me Away from me Away from me
Nobody's perfect but you just can't see
My life's a circus that you don't believe
You're saying something but not coming clean
And when I look up Mother's living
She's living in a dream
'Cause if you want you can have everything that I've got
If you want you can take it all away from me
And if you're unsatisfied well I'll watch you wave goodbye
If you want you can take it all away from me
Please don't come down and see me this way
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
Please don't come down and see me this way
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
I'm too afraid I'm too afraid
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
Please don't come down I'm too afraid
I'm too afraid I'm too afraid
I'm too afraid I'm too afraid
'Cause if you want you can have everything that I've got
If you want you can take it all away from me
'Cause if you want you can have everything that I've got
If you want you can take it all away from me
And if you're unsatisfied well I'll watch you wave goodbye
If you want you can take it all away from me
Away from me Away from me Away from me

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?
