Iggy Pop :: Avenue B :: 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
