Disorder in the House - Warren Zevon

Disorder in the house

The tub runneth over

Plaster’s falling down in pieces by the couch of pain

Disorder in the house

Time to duck and cover

Helicopters hover over rough terrain

Disorder in the house

Reptile wisdom

Zombies on the lawn staggering around

Disorder in the house

There’s a flaw in the system

And the fly in the ointment’s gonna bring the whole thing down

The floodgates are open

We’ve let the demons loose

The big guns have spoken

And we’ve fallen for the ruse

Disorder in the house

It’s a fate worse than fame

Even the Lhasa Apso seems to be ashamed

(You might wanna handle that one yourself)

Disorder in the house

The doors are coming off the hinges

The earth will open and swallow up the real estate

I just got my paycheck

I’m gonna paint the whole town gray

Whether it’s a night in Paris

Or a Fresno matinee

It’s the home of the brave

And the land of the free

Where the less you know

The better off you’ll be

Cut it

Wooh

Disorder in the house

All bets are off

I’m sprawled across the davenport of despair

Disorder in the house

I’ll live with the losses

And watch the sundown through the portiere

Here we go

Alright

Huh, end this thing with style
