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’re stuck on arms like track marks
Hooded under the hum of lampposts
You’re turning heads like a latch
That stir boys like me from their sleep
“On, on tiptoes peeking in on, on the high life
‘Till the blinds pull in, Ill be fine”
Check, check-check, check..
The madness came with a mic stand
So gracefull, So gutless
So gracefull, So gutless
Seems everybody’s got a dance to this beat
Uhuh and tongues are drumming on the necks of..
Little baby, can you keep your composure?
Uhuh, I think I lost it on the lips of..
“I just need to start over”
said like a sinner in shallow water
Seen pretty birds pick at the bones of bees singing; “dance with me”
Tuck me in before the charm wears off
To bed with whoever just to get lost
I wanna be nothing more than something
So gracefull, So gutless
So gracefull, So gutless
Seems everybody’s got a dance to this beat
Uhuh and tongues are drumming on the necks of..
Little baby, can you keep your composure?
Uhuh, I think I lost it on the lips of..
Hooded under the hum of lampposts
You’re turning heads like a latch
That stir boys like me from their sleep
“On, on tiptoes peeking in on, on the high life
‘Till the blinds pull in, Ill be fine”
Check, check-check, check..
The madness came with a mic stand
So gracefull, So gutless
So gracefull, So gutless
Seems everybody’s got a dance to this beat
Uhuh and tongues are drumming on the necks of..
Little baby, can you keep your composure?
Uhuh, I think I lost it on the lips of..
“I just need to start over”
said like a sinner in shallow water
Seen pretty birds pick at the bones of bees singing; “dance with me”
Tuck me in before the charm wears off
To bed with whoever just to get lost

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.

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.

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.
