its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Mystery, the moon
A hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight
So full, but often right
A pair of eyes a closin' one
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars
To farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars
The cosmic fish they love to kiss
They're giving birth to constellations
No riffs and oh, no reservation
If they should fall, you'd get a wish or dedication
May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and I?
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising over, before we lose the lighting
Oh bella, bella, please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh bella, do what you do
You are an illuminating anchor
Of leads to infinite number
Or crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the even flows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
You are the queen and king combining everything
Intertwining like a ring around the finger of a girl
I'm just a singer, you're the world
All I can bring you
Is the language of a lover
Bella Luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh-oh
May I suggest you get the best
Of your wish, may I insist
That no contest for little you or smaller I?
A larger chance had, but all them, they lie
On the rise, on the brink of our lives
Bella, please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh bella, do what you do
Bella Luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh
A hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight
So full, but often right
A pair of eyes a closin' one
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars
To farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars
The cosmic fish they love to kiss
They're giving birth to constellations
No riffs and oh, no reservation
If they should fall, you'd get a wish or dedication
May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and I?
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising over, before we lose the lighting
Oh bella, bella, please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh bella, do what you do
You are an illuminating anchor
Of leads to infinite number
Or crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the even flows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
You are the queen and king combining everything
Intertwining like a ring around the finger of a girl
I'm just a singer, you're the world
All I can bring you
Is the language of a lover
Bella Luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh-oh
May I suggest you get the best
Of your wish, may I insist
That no contest for little you or smaller I?
A larger chance had, but all them, they lie
On the rise, on the brink of our lives
Bella, please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh bella, do what you do
Bella Luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh

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.

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
i love this song. i love it because it seems like it's talking to me becuase luna my last name :) and it's beautiful
