Splendid Isolation: Written by Warren Zevon 1989 Zevon Music BMI

From "Transverse City" album.

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

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

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

Exquisite beauty with teeth. Such an incredible and dark sense of humor. Nobody could say it like Warren.

My favorite Zevon era -- long hair, looking lean, black and mean. Sharp lyrics and raised eyebrow as always.

If there is somebody today who is writing lyrics like this, I want to know. Oh yeah, and the voice.

This is my ALL TIME favourite performance ( live or recordered ) of any of Warren's songs !!! ... Everything is just perfect here ... The pace, the arrangement, and the wonderful vocals combine to make this musical heaven for me .... Have literally watched this video hundreds of times, and don't think I'll ever stop ... Wayne

"" lock the door Goofy, take my hand and lead me though the world of self" I truly believe Zevon's insight and ability as a lyricist remains unmatched.

This was my first time seeing him (when this originally aired in 1989) and I decided instantly he was my muse.
