This was a challenge for me, especially since I only had a few hours while on vacation this week. To my ears it came out sounding more like Fiona Apple than some of the refs, but given the time constraints (and this NOT being my area of expertise) I was happy to get it done.
lyrics
Lap of luxury
Means so very much to me
First class dinners
Silver spoon at birth
Lap of luxury
Blinded by nobility
All good sinners
Crash down to earth
V1
Came from the bottom, made it to the top
Clawed and scratched for every scrap I got
Lots of good men, were trampled for the cause
Lovers lane, broken hearts par, for the course
Summertime blues, thousand dollar shoes
Martini's in private jets
Diamonds never big enough
Bet and lose it all for fun
VIP, til they found out about me
C2
Lap of luxury
Meant so very much to me
Black stretch limos
Billion dollars worth
Lap of luxury
Only shop at Tiffany's
All good sinners
Crash down to earth
Didn't know how good I had it
Caught up in the mouse and cat
Outside looking in from the attic
My futures looking grim without him
V2
Knew in the end, it would come back to bite me
The drama, the scheming, the treachery
Close calls and lawsuits, Skeletons in closets
The devil loves his prodigy
Heartbreak and pain
Riding on the blue train
Replace my penthouse for a cell
Rather be blessed, then shabbily dressed
Guess that means I'll see u in hell
C3
Lap of luxury
Meant so very much to me
Black stretch limos
Billion dollars worth
Lap of luxury
Only shop at Tiffany's
All good sinners
Crash down to earth
Didn't know how good I had it
Caught up in the mouse and cat
Outside looking in from the attic
My futures looking grim without him
Lap of luxury meant so much to me
In the end it's killing me
