Warren Zevon - Porcelain Monkey Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • He was an accident waiting to happen
  • Most accidents happen at home
  • Maybe he should've gone out more often
  • Maybe he should've answered the phone
  • Hip-shakin' shoutin' 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 on velveteen
  • From a shotgun shack singing Pentecostal hymns
  • Through the wrought iron gates 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 fried 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 figurine
  • He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas
  • And his face on velveteen
  • Hip-shakin' shoutin' 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 on velveteen
