Lyrics
Mansions
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.
Sitting in our mansion
Guarded by expansion
Questioning our motives and our means
Wondering why this isn't like the dream.
Walls of wealth surround us
People cannot hound us
A gentle Spanish lady cooks our meals
But we never ask her how she feels
Limousines and laughter
Parties everafter
If you play the game, you pay the price
Purchasing a piece of paradise
Changes...changing...
Fog and rain
London town's the same...
Borrowing time from our friends...
Circles have...
No end
Paris and Rome
Making the Scene
but missing our own
Beatles and Stones
Then on a boat
To go back home
Changes...changing...
Nothing left to bind us
People cannot find us
You live your life
And live it as you please
(Please, please, please)
Live your life exactly as you please
(Please, please, please)
Live your life and live it as you please
(Please, please, please)
Live your life exactly as you please
(Please, please, please)
Please, live your life just as you please
