LIVING LUX

​

Shirtless and faded

On the Champs-Élysées

The world was ours then

I had conviction

But you, you had style

Such a lethal combination

The years changed us

The money weighed us down

We lost our way

Let me spoil you

Pick a place to go

I want to spend my money on you

 

Don't you remember?

How this began

You begged me for a chance

Don't waste your sorry, no

Don't waste your goodbyes tonight

From hand to mouth

And now we're living lux

 

I order the lobster and you the Moët

The waitress thinks that we can't pay

What does she know?

Our pockets are full grown

And we've earned the right to fine dine

So raise your glass my old friend

For we both know that this is the end

For the times we fought

And the times we shared

I'll sing you a song

The way I used to then

Don't you remember?

How this began

You begged me for a chance

Don't waste your sorry, no

Don't waste your goodbyes tonight

From hand to mouth

And now we're living lux

 

We're living lux
