Good lyrics about rehab Many songs are written about drinking. Not so many are written about rehab. Warren Zevon, to me one of America's most underrated and literate song writers, writes uproariously funny lyrics with a serious undertone. Himself an alcoholic for much of his young adulthood, and then sober for almost all of his later years, describes his experience of rehab in this song: Detox Mansion Well, I'm gone to Detox Mansion Way down on Last Breath Farm I've been rakin' leaves with Liza Me and Liz clean up the yard Left my home in Music City In the back of a limousine Now I'm doin' my own laundry And I'm getting those clothes clean Growin' fond of Detox Mansion And this quiet life I lead But I'm dying to tell my story For all my friends to read Well, it's tough to be somebody And it's hard not to fall apart Up here on Rehab Mountain We gonna learn these things by heart Well, I'm gone to Detox Mansion Way down on Last Breath Farm I've been rakin' leaves with Liza Me and Liz clean up the yard What goes on in Detox Mansion Outside the rubber room We get therapy and lectures We play golf in the afternoon Well, it's tough to be somebody And it's hard not to fall apart Up here on Rehab Mountain We gonna learn these things by heart |
