Splendid Isolation Songtext
von Warren Zevon

I wanna live all alone in the desert
I wanna be like Georgia O′Keefe
I wanna live on the Upper East Side
And never go down in the street

Splendid isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid isolation

Michael Jackson in Disneyland
Don′t have to share it with nobody else
Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand
And lead me through the world of self


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

Putting tinfoil up on the windows
Lying down in the dark to dream
I don′t wanna, I don't wanna see their faces
And I don′t wanna, I don't wanna hear them scream

Splendid isolation
I don′t need no one
Splendid isolation


Splendid isolation
I don't need no one
Splendid isolation, hey
