Luxury - Maker / Wheel Within A Wheel
Our friend takes drugs every day
And she contemplates life when she plays
So hard
Upon the piano keys
But the melody just will not stay
It moves around the pillars
And fades away, like light
Just at the end of day
★ Chorus ★
Come in, find a place to lay your head
Take a moment
No one’s going anywhere
Yes, I swear
Yes, I swear
Yes, I swear
★ Verse 2 ★
Go on, read the lines out loud
Your voice will have to do it
Without the power
The guards keep changing
At every hour
Go on, sing the lines again
Your voice a little louder
At the sound of them
You’re here
But how long has it been?
★ Chorus ★
Come in, find a place to lay your head
Take a moment
No one’s going anywhere
Yes, I swear
Yes, I swear
Yes, I swear
★ Bridge ★
We would have healed Babylon
But she would not be healed
We would have healed anyone
Tell me how you feel?
“I’m a wheel within a wheel.”
★ Chorus ★
Come in, find a place to lay your head
Take a moment
No one’s going anywhere
Yes, I swear
Yes, I swear
Yes, I swear
