Song | Porcelain Monkey |
Artist | Warren Zevon |
Album | Life'll Kill Ya |
作词 : Calderon, Zevon | |
He was an accident waiting to happen | |
Most accidents happen at home | |
Maybe he should have gone out more often | |
Maybe he should have answered the phone | |
Hip-shaking shouting in gold lame | |
That's how he earned his regal sobriquet | |
Then he threw it all away | |
For a porcelain monkey | |
He threw it away for a porcelain monkey | |
Gave it all up for a figurine | |
He traded it in for a night in Las-Vegas | |
And his face of velveteen | |
From a shotgun shack singing Pentacostal hymns | |
Through the wrought iron gate to the TV room | |
He had a little world, it was smaller than your hand | |
It's a rockabilly ride from the glitter to the gloom | |
Left behind by the latest trends | |
Eating friend chicken with his regicidal friends | |
That's how the story ends | |
With a porcelain monkey | |
He threw it away for a porcelain monkey | |
Gave it all up for a figureine | |
He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas | |
And his face of velveteen | |
Hip-shaking shouting in gold lame | |
That's how he earned his regal sobriquet | |
Then he threw it all away | |
For a porcelain monkey | |
He threw it away for a porcelain monkey | |
Gave it all up for a figurine | |
He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas | |
And his face of velveteen | |
Porcelain monkey | |
Porcelain monkey | |
Porcelain monkey | |
