porcelain monkey - warren zevon lyrics
warren zevon and jorge calderon, zevon music bmi/googolplex music bmi
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
