Living Is A Luxury

They're cooking up a storm
In hell's kitchen tonight
And the main course could be you
Or try your hand at an east side stand

Dashin', slashes in a crazy human zoo
The girls shine like diamonds
In the cold steel of the night
With cash in hand you'd better understand

If you want it you can get it any day or night
So if you turn around and tell me to go to hell
I'd say I know that place to well

Where living is a luxury
There's a bad moon rising in the underground
Living is a luxury
Another drive-by nightmare in this lonely town

When your blood runs cold and your soul's on ice
Gotta run from the shadows of the night
The secrets told with the back alley show
It's a cold sweat, loose bet, skin tight

Slow gin is a fast-pace sin
In this hell below your feet
A blue sky day seems so far away
With another chalk mark on this crazy street

If you want it you can get it any day or night
So if you turn around and tell me to go to hell
I'd say I know that place to well

And if you close your eyes to see
You better take a look at me, ya

Where living is a luxury
There's a bad moon rising in the underground
Living is a luxury
Another drive-by nightmare in this lonely town
