Iggy Pop - I Felt The Luxury lyrics

Album: Avenue B (1999)

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 would never be done
And the caption in my mind said
"This is the one"
But I am strong & I am disciplined
And I avoided her for yeahrs
´Until 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 will try hard to tell things just like they is
How my life was a desert before she came in
And wrecked it & ripped it & 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 & that
And she wanted those too
And she´dn´t shut up
And one day I just blew up
Now she has in the hospital
For the 2nd time
Maybe she will die
Maybe I will cry
Therapists would say
"You are in denial"
But love became inconvenient
Love became a literal drag
Very bad for business
I would be better off a fag
She has a model de sport
That I cannot afford
´Cause I am a practical American
From the Middle-West
And I can piss on a grave
While welcoming guests
If cold´s what I´m
I am cold ´until the end
And I felt the luxury of her
I felt the luxury of her
Now I am going to continue walking
In the modern world
Which justifies every egotistical perversion
With scientific talk
And new ways to walk
But I will remember the religion
She became to me
And the other person I could´ve been
So for now I will say so long
I´ve got to go do wrong
I´ve got to go do wrong
I felt the luxury
I felt the luxury
I felt the luxury
Aah, Luxury
