Splendid Isolation Songtext / Lyric

(written by Warren Zevon)



I want to live alone in the desert

I want to be like Georgia O'Keefe

I want to live on the Upper East Side

And never go down in the street



Like Michael Jackson in Disneyland

Don't have to share it with nobody else

Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand

and lead me through this world of self



Splendid isolation I don't need no one Splendid isolation

Splendid isolation I don't need no one Splendid isolation






Don't want to wake up with no one beside me

Don't want to take up with nobody new

Don't want nobody coming by without calling first

Don't want nothing to do with you



I'm putting tinfoil up on the windows

Lying down in the dark to dream

I don't want to see their faces

I don't want to hear them scream



Splendid Isolation I don't need no one Splendid Isolation

Splendid Isolation I don't need no one Splendid Isolation



Don't want to wake up with no one beside me

Don't want to take up with nobody new

Don't want nobody coming by without calling first

Don't want nothing to do with you
