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.
They all know me by my car
They know I'm gone, but not how far
I'm heading straight down 101
I'm going to go and get me some
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
Gonna' get run down
Eu não posso dirigir
E agora aparece
Meu dedo enterrado
No meu nariz
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
Gonna get run down
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
Gonna get run down
They know I'm gone, but not how far
I'm heading straight down 101
I'm going to go and get me some
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
Gonna' get run down
Eu não posso dirigir
E agora aparece
Meu dedo enterrado
No meu nariz
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
Gonna get run down
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
Gonna get run down

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.

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.
Billy Gould quote: "Well we all know what Caralho Voador is right? Its like this flying dick right. Well its about a man in his car, whos just a fucked up old man, he drives around the city and hes picking his nose. And basically he's a dick, and the car is like his wings. He flies around the city and he's like a flying dick."
