Marble halls and chandeliers
Vestibules and souveniers
Vanity like a treasure chest
Silverware for a hundred guests
If you think it might leave you satisfied
If this is your idea of a perfect life
Take mine
Recognition in a paved drive way
Good manners and bad fruit cake
Socializing with the socialites
Wasting all my saturday nights
All these precious things money can't buy
If you wanna know what these privileges are like
Take Mine
I'm looking for highly understated little downgraded
They don't make 'em like they used too
Rough around the edges nothing too impressive
Bona fide eye tribute
I'd rather hang around some sleepy little town
With a taste for the unrefined
So if you want the high life
Take mine
Groundskeeper and a maitredee
Probably won't even ever miss me
Big parties and promenades
I never really liked to dance anyway
All these precious things don't satisfy
If you think happiness is what you're gonna find
Take mine
