dr. zacks - warren zevon’s “porcelain monkey” كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
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

[bridge 1]
hip-shakin’, shoutin’ in gold lamé:
that’s how he earned his regal sobriquet
then he threw it all away
for a porcelain monkey

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
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

[bridge 2]
left behind by the latest trends
eating fried chicken with his regicidal friends:
that’s how the story ends
with a porcelain monkey

[chorus]
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

[bridge 1]

[chorus]
