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.
I'd like to know completely
What others so discreetly
Talk about when they leave me
Not that I notice when they're gone
It's eery and so scary
I don't know who to worry
Your sister came to beat me
Oh your sister came to beat me
But I'll love it when you blink your eyes
Oh I
I want to know my body
I want this out not in me
I want to know no secrets yet
I'll leave
Oh I'll leave care
It's saved me once too often
You'll never know her often
I've pictured you in coffins
My baby in a coffin
But I'll love it when you blink your eyes
Oh I'd
I want to know my body
I want this out not in me
I want no other leakage
I want to know no secrets yet
I'll leave
Oh I'll leave
No I'll leave care

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.

I agree with 'eyehaverabies'. I just sent corrections to for the song 'Distortions' and there are still oddly pronounced words that hardly make sense. The first verse of the song was inspired, almost plagiarized from Velvet Underground's 'Candy Says'. That particular song was inspired by a famous transvestite known as Candy Darling.
I think this is an illuminating and overlooked clue to the meaning behind these lyrics. I think the speaker is gendered male, but born with the sexual organs of a female. I think the struggle is the mis-match of the speaker's internal reality with his/her outward appearance.
