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.
I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky
Don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Whoa, heart
If I stand all alone
Will the shadow hide the color of my heart?
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The stars in the sky
Don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke this old heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Whoa, my heart
My heart, oh, my heart
That you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky
Don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Whoa, heart
If I stand all alone
Will the shadow hide the color of my heart?
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The stars in the sky
Don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke this old heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Whoa, my heart
My heart, oh, my heart

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.
