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.
Jon:
This Town is our town, So mutherfuckin' glam...
Jessicka:
We all know the chosen toys,
Of paddy girls,
And pretty boys.
Make up that face to win the race,
Life's a bitch in this town,
Suck my dick in this town.
This Town is our town,
It is so glamorous.
I'd bet you'd live here if you could,
And be one of us.
This Town is our town,
So fucking glamorous.
I'd bet you'd live here if you could,
And be one of us.
Change our minds like we said before,
We're all dreamers,
With our Whores!
Discarded souls like worn-out cars,
Litter the streets of,
This Town,
Litter the streets of This Town.
This Town is our town,
So fucking glamorous.
I'd bet you'd live here if you could,
And be one of us.
Both:
This Town is our Town,
So Motherfucking glamorous.
I'll bet you'd live here if you could,
And be one of us.
Jessicka:
Break it down boys,
Human race in the house.
Human race in the house.
Human race in the house.
Here we fucking go!
This Town is our town,
(Our town)
So fucking glamorous.
(Fucking glamorous)
I'd bet you'd live here if you could,
(If you could)
And be one of us.
(One of us)

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?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
its actually human waste project & korn
