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.
She's got a twinkle in both eyes
She's calculating the demise
She covers up her lies, with lies
She's so
The pretty poison of her taste
But innocence she's painted on her face
She's made of latex not of lace
She's so
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
And that's why you want her
That's why you want her
She'll put a dagger in his chest
You'll see how quickly he forgets
'Cause she's a genius in fish nets
She's so
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
And that's why you want her
That's why you want her
That's why you want her
That's why you want her
That's why you want her
She's calculating the demise
She covers up her lies, with lies
She's so
The pretty poison of her taste
But innocence she's painted on her face
She's made of latex not of lace
She's so
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
And that's why you want her
That's why you want her
She'll put a dagger in his chest
You'll see how quickly he forgets
'Cause she's a genius in fish nets
She's so
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
And that's why you want her
That's why you want her
That's why you want her
That's why you want her
That's why you want her

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
