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.
Can you feel the pulse?
Can you feel the heat rising from below?
Can you feel the energy gaining strength, oh so slowly?
But I'll wait...I'll wait...till the seasons change.
I'll wait...I'll wait... till the fall comes.
And I'll give you a mirthless laugh.
Can you see the signs?
Can you see the changing of the winds?
Can you see the stillness in the air?
Calm will remain...oh so shortly.
But I'll wait...till the seasons change.
I'll wait...till the fall comes.
Can you feel the heat rising from below?
Can you feel the energy gaining strength, oh so slowly?
But I'll wait...I'll wait...till the seasons change.
I'll wait...I'll wait... till the fall comes.
And I'll give you a mirthless laugh.
Can you see the signs?
Can you see the changing of the winds?
Can you see the stillness in the air?
Calm will remain...oh so shortly.
But I'll wait...till the seasons change.
I'll wait...till the fall comes.

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.

@[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.
it's about someone who doesn't show his true self. he'll stay inside and doesn't voice his opinions at all. even if his thoughts are burning inside, he keeps them to himself. he lets no one in.
