Artist/Band: Warren Zevon
Lyrics for Song: Detox Mansion
Lyrics for Album: Sentimental Hygiene



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 limosine

Now I'm doin' my own laundry

And I'm gettin' those clothes clean

Growin' fond of Detox Mansion

And this quiet life I lead

But I'm just dying to tell my story

For all my friends to read

Well, it's tough to be somebody

And it's hard to keep from fallin' 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


Detox Mansion

Detox Mansion stands as a vivid example of Warren Zevon's signature blend of dark humor and surreal storytelling. Released on the 1997 album Sentimental Hygiene, the track captures the artist's ability to transform mundane or bizarre concepts into compelling musical narratives. Zevon, known for his sharp wit and eclectic influences ranging from rock to country, often explored themes of mortality and eccentricity throughout his career. This recording reflects the polished yet slightly off-kilter production style that characterized his later work. The song contributes to a discography defined by its emotional depth and lyrical ingenuity, showcasing Zevon's enduring impact on American music. Listeners encounter a masterful composition that balances melancholy with a distinct, dry wit, reinforcing his reputation as a unique voice in the genre.
