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

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 grey

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

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 tosses

And watch the sundown through the portiere
