Subject of song could also be about abortion: "How does it feel? To be on your own? With no direction home? A complete unknown...alibis." The man with the "vacuum eyes" could be the medical doctor or in those days abortionist.
My first impression is the man with the "vacuum eyes" was abusing the narrator's old flame sexually. Secondarily, the vacuum-eyed man may have been part of a drug deal his old flame was involved in to make ends meet. Maybe all three ways.
