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.
Put the radio on
Put the radio on (hello)
I don’t want to know I’m wrong
I don’t want to know I’m wrong
Sugar and spice
Everything nice
Keep me on lockdown
Put me on ice
Because I’m a really good girl
You a very bad guy
We’re a little match made in Heaven if I say so, yay-o
Come over here boy and play-o
Work it out
Work it right
Baby’s locking low tonight
Work it out
Keep it tight
You’re so rock and roll
Sold your soul
Now baby . . .
Put the radio on
Put the radio on (yes, yes)
I don’t want to know I’m wrong
I don’t want to know I’m wrong
Put the radio on (and take a breath)
Put the radio on ( come over here)
I don’t want to know I’m wrong
I don’t want to know I’m wrong for you
Peaches and cream
Everyone’s dream
You think you like me now
You should hear me sing
Because baby
I’m a fly girl and you’re a big shot
If we got together I know it would be hot-hot
Say so
Stay-o
I’ll give you something to pray for
Work it out
Work it right
Baby’s locking low tonight
Work it out
Keep it tight
You’re so rock and roll
Sold your soul
Now baby . . .

I don’t want to know I’m wrong
I don’t want to know I’m wrong for you
I’m waiting by your back door
Let me come in
I got your favorite dress on
Long hair pinned up
I like you lots, polka dots
Some desire in your thoughts
Thinking of you
Dreaming of us
Like you lots, polka dots
Some desire in your thoughts
Thinking of you
Dreaming of us

I don’t want to know I’m wrong
I don’t want to know I’m wrong for you
You know I got a taste for tonic and gin
You know I got an eye for fur and fine things
You know that I’m to die for
Baby, give in
I told you when we met what you were in for

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?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
