Warren Zevon - Trouble Waiting To Happen Lyrics






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

    This song is relatable since I had this dream where I was flying or something.
    Then I wake up and find myself on my bedroom floor lol. By the way I was sober throught out everything.

    When I hear this song I immediately think of a few years in my life that were so miserable, the only bright spot was listening to this song nearly every time I drove into work. The last verse feels like it was written for me. This album deals with themes of putting things back together after everything falls apart, and it really pulled me through. 🙏🏻 ty warren
