its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Leave me standing here
Act like I'm not around
The coast will probably never clear
Can I please go home now?
I had that dream about you again
Where I wait outside until you let me in
And there I stay
Lay beside me
And listen at the wall
We'll keep on lying
Until the summer comes
I had that dream about you again
Where you drive my car
Right off a fucking cliff
And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Make me promise
That I will never tell
All I remember is
The way her bedroom smelled
I had that dream about you again
Where I wait outside until you let me in
And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Goodnight, goodnight
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Leave me standing here
Act like I'm not around
The coast will probably never clear
Can I please go home now?
I had that dream about you again
Where I wait outside until you let me in
And there I stay
Lay beside me
And listen at the wall
We'll keep on lying
Until the summer comes
I had that dream about you again
Where you drive my car
Right off a fucking cliff
And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Make me promise
That I will never tell
All I remember is
The way her bedroom smelled
I had that dream about you again
Where I wait outside until you let me in
And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Goodnight, goodnight

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.

@[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.
i love how the vocals sorta resemble a roller coaster, lol, that's what I think when I here them
