Lenox

Lyrics

[Intro — instrumental only, no vocals]
[fine china plates shatter and shards tinkle; the beat builds]
[Instrumental build — still no singing, let the groove settle in]
[Instrumental — the shards and the strings carry it alone]

[Verse 1 — vocals enter at last]
Up in the Buckhead where the shopping gleams,
Lenox Square in the moneyed dreams;
smash the china, hear the porcelain break,
Lenox tinkling for the shopping's sake.

[Chorus]
Lenox, Lenox, smash and ring,
the fine bone china is a shattering thing;
crash, crash, crash, let the shards cascade,
the glittering mall where the money's made.

[Verse 2]
Phipps and the Plaza and the velvet glow,
the holiday tree and the window show;
every shard a glint on the marble floor,
Lenox shining at the shopping door.

[Chorus]
Lenox, Lenox, smash and ring,
the fine bone china is a shattering thing;
crash, crash, crash, let the shards cascade,
the glittering mall where the money's made.

[Outro — vocals stop here]
[Instrumental — the china rides out alone, no more singing]
[Long instrumental outro — the groove fades slowly all the way down to silence]
