Lyrics for Porcelain Monkey by WARREN ZEVON:
| | | Artist: | WARREN ZEVON |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Porcelain Monkey | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 219 | | | | Lyrics: | (Warren Zevon and Jorge Calderon)
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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
