I Felt The Luxury |
She sat on the pavement |
As I pulled in the drive |
Wearing leopard skin velvet |
And shiny black eyes |
«She looks like a sleeper» |
Said my wife at the time |
She had curls like Delilah |
And a smile like the sun |
She held my poor corpse |
Like she’d never be done |
And the caption in my mind said |
«This is the one» |
But I’m strong and I’m disciplined |
And I avoided her for years |
'Till one night, as usual |
With my heart full of tears |
A hand touched my back |
And she was standing right there |
Then I felt the luxury of her |
I felt the luxury of her |
I felt the luxury of her |
I felt the luxury |
Whispering |
Whispering |
Now I’ll try hard to tell things just like they is |
How my life was a desert before she came in |
And wrecked it and ripped it and rubbed my nerves thin |
How I liked to see her little feet pad around the house |
The way she curled up quietly on the couch |
I can still see her in my mind that way now |
Aah I felt the luxury of her |
I felt the luxury of her |
I felt the luxury of her |
Well time went by quickly |
And her confidence grew |
And she wanted this and that |
And she wanted those too |
And she wouldn’t shut up |
And one day I just blew up |
Now she’s in the hospital |
For the second time |
Maybe she’ll die |
Maybe I’ll cry |
Therapists would say |
«You're in denial» |
But love became inconvenient |
Love became a literal drag |
Very bad for business |
I’d be better off a fag |
She’s a model de sport |
That I can’t afford |
'Cause I’m a practical American |
From the Middle-West |
And I can piss on a grave |
While welcoming guests |
If cold’s what I am |
I’m cold 'till the end |
And I felt the luxury of her |
I felt the luxury of her |
Now I’m gonna continue walking |
In the modern world |
Which justifies every egotistical perversion |
With scientific talk |
And new ways to walk |
But I’ll remember the religion |
She became to me |
And the other person I could have been |
So for now I’ll say so long |
I gotta go do wrong |
I gotta go do wrong |
I felt the luxury |
I felt the luxury |
I felt the luxury |
Aah, Luxury |
