Lap of luxury

As I sit here in the darkness
with a glass of wine
I'm uneasy and I'm telling
all the beads of time

I remember and dismember
what we used to know
all of heaven, some of hell
all our life on show

       I was deep into you
       when you held on to me
       I knew I had come to
       the lap of luxury
       one thing is true so true
       yours was the lap of luxury

As I scan the far horizon
armies on the march
my collar still hangs loose 'cause
it will take no starch

repeat 2nd verse
  
        refr.

                  the lap of luxury
                  spanned all the centuries
                  for you and me
