Corruption

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 shed 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 is 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 is 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 colds 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
