The ‘90s were cruel to Zevon, and that’s evidenced by this song noir. Things got so bad, the 1995 movie of the same name didn’t even bother to give him credit for using this song in the movie.
[Verse 1]
I called up my friend LeRoy on the phone
I said, "Buddy, I'm afraid to be alone
'Cause I got some weird ideas in my head
About things to do in Denver when you're dead"
[Verse 2]
I was working on a steak the other day
And I saw Waddy in the Rattlesnake Cafe
Dressed in black, tossin' back a shot of rye
Finding things to do in Denver when you die
[Chorus]
You won't need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all day
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Yeah, LeRoy says there's something you should know
Not everybody has a place to go
And home is just a place to hang your head
And dream of things to do in Denver when you're dead
[Chorus]
You won't need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all day
You just roll around Denver all day
