The Luxury

Zoo lion sobers up, starts to scream and shout
A little dose of home fire got him all smoothed out
Melancholy wine-soaked tenderness
She hated it here, oh, she couldn't care less

Prison yard stares and fleur-de-lis tattoos
Cannibals are saving all their bones for soup
Eating with my fingers and sucking hulls of ships
My parasite don't deserve no better than this

The Golden Rim Motor Inn
Soft water and a color TV
Ah, so consumed with the shape I'm in
Can't enjoy the luxury
The luxury

She said, "and why are you partial to that Playboy con?"
When you can see me naked any time you want?"
If I had loads of money to make me tame and sour
I could pay you to remind of my baby by the hour

Yeah, zoo lion sobers up and starts to scream and shout
A little dose of home fire got him all smoothed out
If this is where it all starts getting good
Then I'll be here waiting for you like I said I would

The Golden Rim Motor Inn
Soft water and a color TV
Oh, so consumed with the shape I'm in
I can't enjoy the luxury
The luxury
The luxury
