《Extravagance》歌词

[00:00:00] Extravagance - Kitchens of Distinction

[00:00:22] Who dares walk her cheetahs

[00:00:25] On the dark canals of Venice

[00:00:29] Diamond leashes glitter

[00:00:32] Servant flames splutter

[00:00:36] Emaciated spectre with kohl tattooed eyes

[00:00:43] Albino birds painted shades of blackened violet

[00:00:51] Luisa leash me up like a leopard to your heart

[00:00:58] Black though it be let's toast your effigy

[00:01:06] Dress you in silver mail fit for the Queens

[00:01:12] They cannot touch you now

[00:01:16] They cannot do you harm

[00:01:21] You are the shadow that pale light

[00:01:28] That draws us fluttering to your

[00:01:33] Extravagance

[00:01:49] We stare at the rubies that shine in our hearts

[00:01:56] They're all you could wish for

[00:02:00] They're all I could want

[00:02:03] Pink peacocks howling as

[00:02:07] We waltz through the night

[00:02:10] They screech of crazed parties

[00:02:14] Canopies of fright

[00:02:19] Luisa in Paris Luisa by the lake

[00:02:25] Sitting still in veils painted by the greats

[00:02:33] Even electricity bows down to her

[00:02:40] Until it catches flame and all the money escapes

[00:02:48] You remain a shadow that pale light

[00:02:55] That draws us flickering to your

[00:03:00] Extravagance

[00:03:32] Debt-ridden in London she's dressed in dead birds

[00:03:38] Abandoned by her poet denounced by the world

[00:03:45] But once a creature exotic she cannot be forgotten

[00:03:52] So bury her naked but don't bury her nameless

[00:04:00] Wrap her in panther skin her Pekinese beside

[00:04:07] Shakespearean elegy Shakespearean lines

[00:04:15] In and out of fashion in death no less intense

[00:04:21] She cannot wither now

[00:04:25] She cannot fade from sight

[00:04:29] She is but shadow that feint light

[00:04:37] That draws us shivering to her

[00:04:42] Extravagance
