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.
My brain is bleeding at the mall
It's been dismembered by rabid dogs
Your mouth is frothing with a disease
It's all so festive it's all for me
My christmas necktie your nice red boots
Asphyxiation from your silk noose
You pull it harder you watch me die
And I shoot backwards into time
And I see into the past
As it's burning down my neck
A thousand suicides a night
A hundred days of shopping left
I regain conscious
My legs convulse
You whisper to me
You feel my pulse
My blood is throbbing
I finally breathe
Your body's pressed up against me
I'm very fond of the special things that you do for me
And I see into the past
As it's burning down my neck
A thousand suicides a night
A hundred days of shopping left
Cut her down
Just cut her down
I already told you
I don't know
Just cut her down please
Just cut her down
Cut her down (repeat)
It's been dismembered by rabid dogs
Your mouth is frothing with a disease
It's all so festive it's all for me
My christmas necktie your nice red boots
Asphyxiation from your silk noose
You pull it harder you watch me die
And I shoot backwards into time
And I see into the past
As it's burning down my neck
A thousand suicides a night
A hundred days of shopping left
I regain conscious
My legs convulse
You whisper to me
You feel my pulse
My blood is throbbing
I finally breathe
Your body's pressed up against me
I'm very fond of the special things that you do for me
And I see into the past
As it's burning down my neck
A thousand suicides a night
A hundred days of shopping left
Cut her down
Just cut her down
I already told you
I don't know
Just cut her down please
Just cut her down
Cut her down (repeat)

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
