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.
Just start running
If you feel it coming
Find yourself a movie or some rain
Try to hide it
Get all quiet
But every tear can feel its mother's pull
The sea, my friends, is never full
Empty locket
Melted chocolate
Barely floating helium balloons
Curse the god who
Put this in you
Curse the day you walked her home from school
The sea, my friends, is never full
The sea, my friends, is never full
The sea, my friends, is never full
The sea, my friends, is never full
If you feel it coming
Find yourself a movie or some rain
Try to hide it
Get all quiet
But every tear can feel its mother's pull
The sea, my friends, is never full
Empty locket
Melted chocolate
Barely floating helium balloons
Curse the god who
Put this in you
Curse the day you walked her home from school
The sea, my friends, is never full
The sea, my friends, is never full
The sea, my friends, is never full
The sea, my friends, is never full

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
