Versuri - i - Iggy Pop - 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
