Nine Lives of Luxury Nine Lives of Luxury

80's British female Ballad, Rock Opera, Progressive, A♭ Major, ‑male

[soft piano intro]

[beat drop]

[Verse 1]
Born to merely millionaires
how embarrassing to share
Silver spoon, not platinum
My first yacht was second-hand, mum
But darling, I dreamed bigger things
Of golden poles and diamond strings

[Chorus]
Nine lives to live (each richer than before)
Nine lives to give (to gathering more)
With every death, I rise again
With compound interest as my friend
Darling, wealth's a game I've won
Nine times over, nine lives done

[Verse 2]
Learned the ways of older wealth
Built my first offshore account with stealth
Married into royalty
Discovered tax-free principality
Each party dripped with more expense
My taste grew more and more intense

[strings accompaniment]

[Verse 3]
Started buying small countries
Collected art like catching fleas
Built my first space mansion then
Bought Mars for weekend visits when
Earth became too common, dear
The air up there's much more clear

[Bridge  1]
Sometimes I think back to life one
I shudder at the lesser sum
But every death brought greater wealth
Until I owned life itself

[Verse 4]
Invented new forms of gold
Bought all NFTs ever sold
Created crypto in my name
RatCoin made me fame on fame
But still I yearned for something more
More zeros in my final score

[key change B♭ Major]

[Verse 5]
Bought the rights to starlight gleams
Owned the patent on sweet dreams
Every wish that could be cast
Required my payment, unsurpassed
The Milky Way? My summer home

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 6]
I grew tired of mere things
Of what mere ownership brings
So I bought the concept whole
Of what makes wealthy souls
Now when anyone feels rich
They owe me royalties, witch!

[Verse 7]
Realized that time was gold
So every second, I now hold
Minutes? Darling, they're all mine
Hours flow like premium wine
Days and years bow to my will
Time itself sends me the bill
(I make chronology pay rent)

[Bridge 2]:
When you're rich as me, you see
Time becomes a luxury
Every moment that ticks by
Has my copyright

[Verse 8]
Intellectual property
Of reality's reality
Copyrighted consciousness
Trademarked all self-awareness
Now for thinking thoughts at all
Everyone must heed my call

[guitar solo]

[Bridge 3]
E-X-I-S-T-E-N-C-E
Darling, you must pay the fee
For every thought and every dream
Everything's owned by my regime

[Final Verse]
Now I sit upon my throne
Everything I see, I own
Each breath costs a million flat
I am THE aristocrat
Money bows at my command
All wealth flows through my paw's hand
(As it should be, naturally)

[Final Chorus]
Nine lives lived in luxury
Each one richer than could be
From silver spoons to golden stars
Now everything is simply OURS (But mostly mine, darling)

[spoken word]
"And darling... I'm not finished yet..."
