Mansions

Sitting in our mansion, guarded by expansion Questioning our motives and our means Wondering why this isn't like the dream Walls of wealth surround us People cannot hound us A gentle Spanish lady cooks our meals But we never ask her how she feels Limousines and laughter Parties ever after If you play the game, you pay the price Purchasing a piece of paradise Changes, changing Fog and rain (cars and trains) London town the same (on the road again) Borrowing time from friends (dirges and pain) Circles have no end (circles have no end) Paris and Rome Making their scene, but missing our own Beatles and Stones, then on the phone And come back home Changes, changing Nothing left to bind us People cannot find us You live your life And live it as you please (please, please, please) Live your life exactly as you please (please, please, please) Live your life and live it as you please (please, please, please) Live your life exactly as you please (please, please, please) Please, live your life just as you please
