Sounds like a Pink Floyd song. (please note, I love PF so this wasn't meant as a diss)

I think this is about someone (the "joker") watching over someone else (the girl in the song) and how for now he's just WATCHING, but soon he could step into her life... Maybe she's thinking about doing something (drugs, sex, stealing, lying) and the joker is a metaphor for whatever she's thinking about doing.
