Luxury - Fur / Ticker Tape

To Rate
Verse 1
The last speech that I heard
Didn’t mean a thing
Not a thing to me
The one who hung the earth
Upon the waters
What should I believe?
Should I believe?

The last word that was said
Heavy and dead
A fur on a king
The one who hung the curtain
Of the cosmos
What is left to dream?
Is there a dream?

Chorus
Oh, the headline says it all
“The lowest circle isn’t all that far”
In any story, it’s the hardest part
Oh, the ticker tape speaks to me
“In this world there is misery”
With this world
Let me make my peace
Verse 2
The last song that was played
A serenade
A pretty little thing
The one who tore the curtain
Top to bottom
Can you hear the strings?
Can you hear the strings?

The last breath that I have
It has to last
For all of eternity
The one who closed the gates
Upon the garden
Open the gates for me!
Open the gates for me!

Chorus
Oh, the headline says it all
“The lowest circle isn’t all that far”
In any story, it’s the hardest part
Oh, the ticker tape speaks to me
“In this world there is misery”
With this world
Let me make my peace
