Porcelain Monkey - Warren Zevon |
| [00:17.06] |
He was an accident waiting to happen |
| [00:20.97] |
Most accidents happen at home |
| [00:24.65] |
Maybe he should've gone out more often |
| [00:28.55] |
Maybe he should've answered the phone |
| [00:34.10] |
Hip-shakin' shoutin' in gold lame' |
| [00:38.31] |
That's how he earned his regal sobriquet |
| [00:42.37] |
Then he threw it all away |
| [00:45.33] |
For a porcelain monkey |
| [00:49.72] |
He threw it away for a porcelain monkey |
| [00:53.55] |
Gave it all up for a figurine |
| [00:57.25] |
He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas |
| [01:02.07] |
And his face on velveteen |
| [01:20.55] |
From a shotgun shack singing Pentecostal hymns |
| [01:24.33] |
Through the wrought iron gates to the TV room |
| [01:28.32] |
He had a little world it was smaller than your hand |
| [01:31.88] |
It's a rockabilly ride from the glitter to the gloom |
| [01:36.96] |
Left behind by the latest trends |
| [01:40.19] |
Eating fried chicken with his regicidal friends |
| [01:44.59] |
That's how the story ends |
| [01:47.36] |
With a porcelain monkey |
| [01:51.73] |
He threw it away for a porcelain monkey |
| [01:55.68] |
Gave it all up for a figurine |
| [01:59.42] |
He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas |
| [02:04.12] |
And his face on velveteen |
| [02:11.45] |
Porcelain monkey |
| [02:14.62] |
Ah ah ah ah ah |
| [02:23.13] |
Hip-shakin' shoutin' in gold lame' |
| [02:27.24] |
That's how he earned his regal sobriquet |
| [02:31.32] |
Then he threw it all away |
| [02:34.07] |
For a porcelain monkey |
| [02:38.39] |
He threw it away for a porcelain monkey |
| [02:42.41] |
Gave it all up for a figurine |
| [02:46.26] |
He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas |
| [02:50.71] |
And his face on velveteen |
| [02:58.22] |
Porcelain monkey |
| [03:01.50] |
Ah ah ah ah |
| [03:06.05] |
Porcelain monkey |
| [03:09.23] |
Hey hey hey hey |
| [03:23.38] |
