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.
Painted people get you going and I'll smother that pig in a holy scene.
It ain't too hard to see,
The paint, my love, gets you going like you want to be got for the next world's scene
It ain't too hard to sing
The pill's taken everything
The pills you're taking
The pill's taken everything, it's in your skin, it's in my skin
Painted people get me going like a smothering pig in a holy scene
It ain't to hard to see
Yeah, well I can striptease with you like a silly old cow in a touching dream
It ain't too hard to see
The pill's taken everything
The pill's you're taking
The pill's taken everything, it's in your skin, it's in my skin
It ain't too hard to see,
The paint, my love, gets you going like you want to be got for the next world's scene
It ain't too hard to sing
The pill's taken everything
The pills you're taking
The pill's taken everything, it's in your skin, it's in my skin
Painted people get me going like a smothering pig in a holy scene
It ain't to hard to see
Yeah, well I can striptease with you like a silly old cow in a touching dream
It ain't too hard to see
The pill's taken everything
The pill's you're taking
The pill's taken everything, it's in your skin, it's in my skin

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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 adore this song, and all three songs on the single are brilliant.
