Warren Zevon - I Was In The House When The House Burned Down Lyrics

Submitted by: AUTO-ADD
Current Rating: None
I had the s*** ‘til it all got smoked
I kept the promise ‘til the valve got broke
I had to drink from the lovin’ cup.
I stood on the bank ‘til the river rose up.
I saw the bride in her wedding gown
I was in the house when the house burned down.

I may be old and I may be bent,
But I had the money ‘til it all got spent.
I had the money ‘til they made me pay,
Then I had the sense to be on my way.
I had to stay in the underground
I was in the house when the house burned down.

(Chorus)
I was in the house when the house burned down,
I met the man with the phony crown
I helped him carry his cross through town,
I was in the house when the house burned down.

(Repeat Chorus)

I had the s*** ‘til it all got smoked
I kept the promise ‘til the valve got broke
I had to drink from the lovin’ cup.
I stood on the bank ‘til the river rose up.
I saw the bride in her wedding gown
I was in the house when the house burned down.
