Live It Up

Your old lover's lyin' in the gutter

He used to be such an all night strutter

"Oh, my heart," I heard him mutter

"Oh, my dear, it seems to flutter"

Ah

Ah

It's so hard to say no

When the deck is stacked to only go slow

It's easy, sweet to live it up

An easy street when you've had enough

Ah

Ah

Darkened night, splashing light

Soft and white and so polite

Let him in, beneath the rim

Beneath the skin, your next of kin

Cleansing fire, funeral pyre

Broken wire grown inside her

Secret hush, swollen rush

It's soft and plush

It's so plush

You know it's so passé

To sleep without you every day

So easy to do your stuff

So easy to live it up

Ah

Ah
