Some kind of evidence
Some kind of reason
Why I can't find a way
To begin my life

Somewhere in this dying day
If I can only find a way for my escape
I find it hard to concentrate with all my past mistakes

To begin my life

(I-i-i-i can't feel my faith, can't recall my crime
I think I sealed my fate, along the way I may have lost my mind
I guess we're all damaged in our own way, alone in our own way
Distant headlights, desolate highway
I can't feel my faith, can't recall my crime
I think I sealed my fate, along the way I may have lost my mind
I guess we're all damaged in our own way, alone in our own way
Distant headlights, desolate highway)

Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall
Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall

With eyes wide open
(Can't recall my crime, think I sealed my fate)
I can watch my world evolve
(Alone in our own way, I think I sealed my fate)
Nothing left to die for
(Can't recall my crime, I think I sealed my fate)
Thoughts inside can make me crawl
(Think I sealed my fate)
Make me drop down on my knees
Break me down until I question me
Darkness can't destroy my drive

Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall
Sun doesn't rise at all
Welcome my downfall
(Sun doesn't rise at all)

(Somewhere in this dying day, as I plan my great escape
I find it hard to concentrate while you think you control me now
Fade and falter, empty altar, all I gave I pray it makes me whole
I think the brink's around the corner
There's an error in my soul

I can't feel my faith, can't recall my crime
I think I sealed my fate, along the way I may have lost my mind
I guess we're all damaged in our own way, alone in our own way
Distant headlights, desolate highway

Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall
Sun doesn't rise at all
Who knows how far I'll fall

I can't feel my faith
Can't recall my crime
Damaged in our own way, alone in our own way
Desolate highway

    Wow you completely took your own eccentric world view and slapped it on to a song that has nothing to do with it.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
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.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
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.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
