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.
Upon a pebble driveway
There sits a house
And it's the loneliest place
I haven't spend much time there
It wasn't alowed
It just didn't feel right
Cos it's all built upon a burial ground
It just doesn't feel right
It just doesn't feel right
On top the frozen creek
I would love to take you there
It's where it flows through me
On top the frozen creek
Ohhh
If I open both of my eyes
I still see an empty space
So empty
But if I keep them closed
Then there's still a chance
Something is out there
Cos it's all built upon a burial ground
It just doesn't feel right
It just doesn't feel right
On top the frozen creek
I would love to take you there
It's where it flows through me
On top the frozen creek
Ohhh
I made a promise to you long ago
I'd do the the best that I can
I'd try to keep it
I made a promise to you long ago
That I'd do anything to keep this home
On top the frozen creek
I would love to take you there
It's where it flows through me
On top the frozen creek
Ohhh
I would love to take you there
I would love to take you there
I would love to take you
There sits a house
And it's the loneliest place
I haven't spend much time there
It wasn't alowed
It just didn't feel right
Cos it's all built upon a burial ground
It just doesn't feel right
It just doesn't feel right
On top the frozen creek
I would love to take you there
It's where it flows through me
On top the frozen creek
Ohhh
If I open both of my eyes
I still see an empty space
So empty
But if I keep them closed
Then there's still a chance
Something is out there
Cos it's all built upon a burial ground
It just doesn't feel right
It just doesn't feel right
On top the frozen creek
I would love to take you there
It's where it flows through me
On top the frozen creek
Ohhh
I made a promise to you long ago
I'd do the the best that I can
I'd try to keep it
I made a promise to you long ago
That I'd do anything to keep this home
On top the frozen creek
I would love to take you there
It's where it flows through me
On top the frozen creek
Ohhh
I would love to take you there
I would love to take you there
I would love to take you

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.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
Eventho Anthony said that this song is about "the house they recorded this song in" I still love ur opinion more! <3 I agree with viewpoint of this song <3 Love it so much! ^^ coz.. what if its the point.. maybe he creates songs that suits all ? ^^
