David, Man it is so, so cool to have access to you. I never would have dreamed this would be possible when I was a teenager and listening to this album in 1986. I was thinking about this while taking a train to work today and it still blows my mind... But I digress.

I completely missed the sexual references in the song, thanks for getting me on track with the meaning of the song.

However, who is watching "from above"? Is it a peeping Tom?

Are you a Steely Dan fan by any chance. There are a lot of similarities between them and (at least) Boomtown. Steely Dan have slick arrangements which disarm the listener who (if he is interested) can be shocked at the lyrical contrast.

Thanks, cleanupkid
