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.
I do it on a whim, its rhyme without reason whatever comes to mind I'll pull it from thin air.
I've learned to improvise to fill my time I don't want to
Live this life, no I don't want to live this life without reason.
Never want to live without it, never want to live,
I don't want to live without reason.
Never want to live without it, Never want to, I don't want to live without Reason.
I do it on a whim, with no motivation following this line and I don't know why,
But I've learned to capture time it's my redirection I don't want to live
This life, no I don't want to live this life without reason
Never want to live without it, never want to live,
I don't want to live without reason.
Never want to live without it, Never want to, I don't want to live without reason.
You want to work to spend to show.
You want to talk to smile to feel.
You want to run to thirst to drink.
You want to love to know it's real.
Never want to live without it, never want to live, I don't want to live without reason.
Never want to Live without it, never want to, I don't want to live without Reason. [Repeats]
I've learned to improvise to fill my time I don't want to
Live this life, no I don't want to live this life without reason.
Never want to live without it, never want to live,
I don't want to live without reason.
Never want to live without it, Never want to, I don't want to live without Reason.
I do it on a whim, with no motivation following this line and I don't know why,
But I've learned to capture time it's my redirection I don't want to live
This life, no I don't want to live this life without reason
Never want to live without it, never want to live,
I don't want to live without reason.
Never want to live without it, Never want to, I don't want to live without reason.
You want to work to spend to show.
You want to talk to smile to feel.
You want to run to thirst to drink.
You want to love to know it's real.
Never want to live without it, never want to live, I don't want to live without reason.
Never want to Live without it, never want to, I don't want to live without Reason. [Repeats]

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.
Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

i think this song is about someone whos leading a false life "I've learned to improvise to fill my time I don't want to live this life" and is realiseing there life is meaningless "I don't want to live this life, No I don't want to live this life without reason" i think isaac could have wrote it when he was working at starbucks
