Hehe, Shabutie

New Jersey bound
When sound asleep
They'll find you at your most vulnerable
Poll position, speak up, let out
When down the street the corner boys fuck shit up

Scream loud
Scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home?
Scream loud
Scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine, will you fuck me back home?
Let's fire it up, ha-ha, now
Let's fire it up, ha-ha, now
Sayonara

Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor
Bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
And I'll pray for you high health
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor
Bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon

Speak up, let out
Caught in the crossfire
Compared to the step to the bone that might break
It's too late to find a better way out of this
With the finest regards that I lost in the cracks of this street

Scream loud (wide open)
Scream sayonara (now you're dead and gone)
Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home?
Scream loud
Scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine, will you fuck me back home?
Let's fire it up, ha-ha, now
Let's fire it up, ha-ha, now
Sayonara

Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor
Bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
And I'll pray for you high health
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor
Bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon

(Don't let them scare you)
(Take me home)
When you run, they'll follow you
(Take me home)
When you run, they'll follow you
(Take me home)
When you run, they'll follow you
(Take me home)

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.

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?

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
