Lyrics:

(Warren Zevon)
i Had The Shit Till It All Got Smoked
i Kept The Promise Till The Vow Got Broke
i Had To Drink From The Lovin' Cup
i Stood On The Banks Till 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 Till It All Got Spent
i Had The Money Till 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

i Was In The House When The House Burned Down
i Met The Man With The Thorny Crown
i Helped Him Carry His Cross Through Town
i Was In The House When The House Burned Down

i Was In The House When The House Burned Down
i Met The Man With The Thorny Crown
i Helped Him Carry His Cross Through Town
i Was In The House When The House Burned Down

i Had The Shit Till It All Got Smoked
i Kept The Promise Till The Vow Got Broke
i Had To Drink From The Lovin' Cup
i Stood On The Banks Till The River Rose Up
i Saw The Bride In Her Wedding Gown
i Was In The House When The House Burned Down
