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 wear the same shoes as anyone
I get the same blues as everyone
So try and call me, I'm immobile man, yes i am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW, tryin' to get themselves arrested
I suck the same lines as anyone
I do the same time as anyone
Don't try and call me, I'm immobile man, yes i am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW, tryin' to get themselves arrested
He only grows for guys he knows and me
He only grows for guys he knows and me
Well alright
Don't try and call me I'm immobile man
Don't try and call me I'm immobile man, yes i am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW, tryin' to get themselves arrested
Got no time for the selfish me and you's, tryin' to get myself arrested
I get the same blues as everyone
So try and call me, I'm immobile man, yes i am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW, tryin' to get themselves arrested
I suck the same lines as anyone
I do the same time as anyone
Don't try and call me, I'm immobile man, yes i am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW, tryin' to get themselves arrested
He only grows for guys he knows and me
He only grows for guys he knows and me
Well alright
Don't try and call me I'm immobile man
Don't try and call me I'm immobile man, yes i am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW, tryin' to get themselves arrested
Got no time for the selfish me and you's, tryin' to get myself arrested

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
