All song lyrics from the album This Journey

Lap of Luxury

Lyrics by Chris Klimecky

Hiding in the light, you can see right in plain view
All the damage done, what a scene, what we’ve come to
Try to close your eyes, bite your lip, stop and listen
Hear the rumble of feet growing fast in the distance

What the future holds, I don’t know
Better pack up and go
But watch the money in your pocket
It’s gonna slow you down
Slow you down

The lap of luxury
Gold plated history
Lost opportunity to lead
The lap of luxury
Fortune and revelry
Wasted energy we need
We get nothing for free

Hold your pennies tight, or they’ll slip through your fingers
While the warmth of the blood on your hands ever lingers
Try to justify all the years of destruction
Hear the whispers of excess are sweet cold seduction

Feed the limousines, drama queens
And the corporate machines
Don’t save the money for a sucker
They’re gonna take you down
Take you down

The lap of luxury
Gold plated history
Lost opportunity to lead
The lap of luxury
Fortune and revelry
Wasted energy we need
We get nothing for free
We get nothing for free

The spoiled and the rotten have quickly forgotten
Or maybe they never knew
The treasures of greed are never guaranteed and
When you leave, you can’t take it with you

The lap of luxury
Gold plated history
Lost opportunity to lead
The lap of luxury
Fortune and revelry
Wasted energy we need
We get nothing for free
We get nothing for free
