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.
We've drained full confession booths
Polluted drinking wells with our repentances and then stood
Grinning with our arm around shoulders of a rotting child
Hold that pose
Provisional, arrogant little pigs who devour their siblings
Shoot that dog if we can't afford to feed
Shoot that dog if we can't afford to feed
Famine fathered a moth. Famine fathered a moth
That begot our fathers
Keep your voices down I'm sneaking out
Hey, what's the big idea?
Keep your fucking hands off the insight
That rat has got its mother's eyes
That rat has got its mother's eyes
Breeding ad nauseam, they are ouring themselves into the sea
Stop, thief
Stop, thief
Stop, thief
Stop, thief
Stop, thief
Stop, thief
Stop, thief
Leave your drunken accident at the prom
It'll grow to mend your broken heart
Don't sign the dotted line (Every house is a little bit of Hollywood)
The world is too incredible to bring such ugliness into it
The artist is sneaking down the hall to impregnate the last of its kin
Indiscernible mute in a swarm of derivatives
And I deny any part. I deny any part of a
Deadbeat godfather
Deadbeat godfather
Deadbeat godfather
Bite your tongue. Who taught you those words?
Blaspheme! When you are under my roof
Don't ever say "Rock and Roll"
Don't ever say "Rock and Roll"
Polluted drinking wells with our repentances and then stood
Grinning with our arm around shoulders of a rotting child
Hold that pose
Provisional, arrogant little pigs who devour their siblings
Shoot that dog if we can't afford to feed
Shoot that dog if we can't afford to feed
Famine fathered a moth. Famine fathered a moth
That begot our fathers
Keep your voices down I'm sneaking out

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.

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.

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.
umm if you mean the spelling.. its blasphemy
