Penthouse Serenade Lyrics by Marianne Faithfull
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Just picture a penthouse way up in the sky
With hinges on chimneys for stars to go by
A sweet slice of Heaven for just you and I
When we're alone

From all of society, we'll stay aloof
And live in propriety there on the roof
Two heavenly hermits we will be in truth
When we're alone

We'll see life's mad pattern
As we view old Manhattan
Then we can thank our lucky stars
That we're living as we are

In our little penthouse, we'll always contrive
To keep love and romance forever alive
In view of the Hudson just over the drive
When we're alone

We can thank our lucky stars
That we're living as we are

In our little penthouse, we'll always contrive
To keep love and romance forever alive
In view of the Hudson just over the drive
When we're alone
Just picture a penthouse way up in the sky   With hinges on chimneys for stars to go by   A sweet slice of Heaven for just you and I   When we're alone      From all of society, we'll stay aloof   And live in propriety there on the roof   Two heavenly hermits we will be in truth   When we're alone      We'll see life's mad pattern   As we view old Manhattan   Then we can thank our lucky stars   That we're living as we are      In our little penthouse, we'll always contrive   To keep love and romance forever alive   In view of the Hudson just over the drive   When we're alone      We can thank our lucky stars   That we're living as we are      In our little penthouse, we'll always contrive   To keep love and romance forever alive   In view of the Hudson just over the drive   When we're alone
