WARREN ZEVON - TROUBLE WAITING TO HAPPEN lyrics

written by Warren Zevon and J. D. Souther Zevon Music Inc. BMI

I woke up this morning and fell out of bed

Trouble waiting to happen

Should've quit while I was ahead

Trouble waiting to happen

I turned on the news to the Third World War

Opened up the paper to World War IV

Just when I thought it was safe to be bored

Trouble waiting to happen

Trouble waiting to happen

The mailman brought me the Rolling Stone

Trouble waiting to happen

It said I was living at home alone

Trouble waiting to happen

I read things I didn't know I'd done

It sounded like alot of fun

I guess I've been bad or something

Trouble waiting to happen

Trouble waiting to happen

Trouble waiting to happen

Teardrops ready to start

Trouble waiting to happen to my heart

This just ain't gonna be my day

Trouble waiting to happen

Things just ain't gonna go my way

Trouble waiting to happen

My day was over by a quarter to ten

I climbed right back into bed again

I'd write this down if I could hold a pen

I might get better but I don't know when

So I'm gonna wait right here 'til then

Trouble waiting to happen

Trouble waiting to happen

Trouble waiting to happen

Teardrops ready to fall

Trouble waiting to happen to us all
