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.
Manchester, New Hampshire. Shove that warrant up your ass
New haven, Connecticut. Shove that warrant up your ass
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Shove that warrant up your ass
Memphis, Tennessee. Shove that warrant up your ass
Shove that warrant up your ass
Catch me if you can and kiss my ass
Shove that warrant up your ass
I've done my time in jails and prison too
Emergency rooms are nothing new
I've been picked apart by a shrink or two
But nothing you can do can my point of view
So shove that warrant up your ass
Catch me if you can and kiss my ass
Shove that warrant up your ass
Dalton, Georgia. Shove that warrant up your ass
Orlando, Florida. Shove that warrant up your ass
Austin, Texas. Shove that warrant up your ass
California_ Shove that warrant up your ass
Shove that warrant up your ass
Catch me if you can and kiss my ass
Shove that warrant up your ass
San Diego, Santa Barbara, New Jersey, Chicago.
Shove that warrant up your ass
You say I broke the laws in your state
Who cares about your boring laws anyway
Your detention homes should all be burned
Your courts blown up and policeman hung
So shove that warrant up your ass
I've already done three fucking years in Michigan,
You cunts

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Wow, a song documenting all of the warrants that were out for GG at any given time, how did he get away with it all so easily?
He didn't really get away with it, he was constantly in jail, and did a stint of a few years for rape and assault at one point.
Then he died.
but he didn't rape her they fucked then she changed her story.
