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.
Take me to the other land
You wanna be another kind
I'll make you rest in the shade
When I show you how you never fall again
Come closer to the day
It's so bright
I want all of your gold
So give in
Come closer to run away
Into the light
I wait here in the breeze
So give in, let it loose one more time
Let me take your faded hand
And lead you to another life
I'll make you rest in the shade
When I show you how you never fall again
You wanna be another kind
I'll make you rest in the shade
When I show you how you never fall again
Come closer to the day
It's so bright
I want all of your gold
So give in
Come closer to run away
Into the light
I wait here in the breeze
So give in, let it loose one more time
Let me take your faded hand
And lead you to another life
I'll make you rest in the shade
When I show you how you never fall again
