Luxury
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Someplace in a picture of you
Is the person you want to become
Dying at the movies alone
You're just dying for nothing but bullets from nobody's guns
Fame and glory kills
Fame and glory
Just don't forget all the love you gave
Is the love for free
And love don't come from fame or glory
It's luxury
It's luxury
It's luxury
It's luxury
I believe in singular fate
Believe in the crosswords waiting for words
I believe in trying my luck
'Cause my luck is [???]; it refuses to evolve
Fame & glory kills
Fame & glory
Just don't forget all the love you gave
Is the love for free
And love don't come from fame or glory
It's a luxury
It's a luxury
It's a luxury
It's a luxury
It's a luxury
Fame & glory kills
Fame & glory
Just don't forget all the love you gave
Is the love for free
And love don't come from fame or glory
It's a luxury
It's a luxury
It's a luxury
It's a luxury
It's a luxury
Now I'm not saying only bad news comes
For the people who want it
But you gotta play that music for who's listening
You got to have someone you wanna sing it to
Oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe
Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you
And I do
Close my eyes, see the glorious sunset
Through the windows of a store and I want it
Anyway, if I ever felt haunted
You were there for me
These angry people who are waiting to judge you
Have their own judgment that they'll have live up to
Open your mouth
And if nothing come through
Remember
You're the one that sings
And it's a gift
And life's a beautiful thing
Oh, don't waste it doll
You build a house and if the house comes up
You gotta work on that house
If you want to make it your home
'Cause everything inside that's not something you own
Is what you're taking with you
On the day that you go
And oh, what a beautiful world when we sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Oh, hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you
