Living Lux

Shyness invaded
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

And 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 ordered a lobster
And you, them away
The waitress thinks that we can't pay, no
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
