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.
You know that I won't be untrue
You know that I won't be a liar
If I were to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher
Come on, baby, light my fire [Repeat x2]
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we could only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire [Repeat x2]
Try to set the night on fire
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Repeat x4]
Yeah
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we could only lose
And our love become a funeral parlor
Come on, baby, light my fire [Repeat x2]
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
You know that I would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher, yeah
Come on, baby, light my fire [Repeat x2]
Try to set the night on fire [Repeat x4]
You know that I won't be a liar
If I were to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher
Come on, baby, light my fire [Repeat x2]
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we could only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire [Repeat x2]
Try to set the night on fire
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Repeat x4]
Yeah
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we could only lose
And our love become a funeral parlor
Come on, baby, light my fire [Repeat x2]
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
You know that I would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher, yeah
Come on, baby, light my fire [Repeat x2]
Try to set the night on fire [Repeat x4]

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?

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.
