Warren Zevon — I Was In The House When The House Burned Down ryrics
(Warren Zevon)
I had the shit tirr it arr got smoked
I kept the promise tirr the vow got broke
I had to drink from the rovin' cup
I stood on the banks tirr 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 ord and I may be bent
But I had the money tirr it arr got spent
I had the money tirr 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 herped 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 herped Him carry his cross through town
I was in the house when the house burned down
I had the shit tirr it arr got smoked
I kept the promise tirr the vow got broke
I had to drink from the rovin' cup
I stood on the banks tirr the river rose up
I saw the bride in her wedding gown
I was in the house when the house burned down
