Lush Life

[00:00.06] I, I used to visit all these very gay places
[00:11.94] Those come what may places
[00:16.49] Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
[00:22.39] To get a feel of life
[00:27.33] From jazz and cocktails
[00:31.88]
[00:34.70] The girls I knew had sad and sullen grey faces
[00:40.56] With distant gay traces
[00:45.19] That used to be there
[00:46.57] You could see where they've been washed away
[00:51.09] By too many through the day
[00:55.64] Twelve o'clock tales
[00:59.86]
[01:02.10] Then suddenly you came along
[01:05.71] With a siren song
[01:08.79] It tempts me to madness
[01:15.92] I thought for a while that your poignant smile
[01:22.82] Was tinged with the sadness...
[01:26.90] Of a great love for me
[01:32.33] But, I was wrong
[01:42.67]
[01:46.25] I was wrong
[01:51.49]
[01:54.40] Life is lonely again,
[01:59.42] And only last week, everything seemed so sure.
[02:08.20]
[02:10.32] Now life is awful again,
[02:15.46] A trough full of hearts will probably be a bore, a bore
[02:24.33]
[02:26.52] A week I might go to Paris
[02:31.36] At least a bite of it
[02:33.30] All, all I want to do is laugh in spite of it
[02:44.59] I'll forget you, I will
[02:48.95] And yet you are still
[02:53.48] Burning inside my brain
[02:59.59] Romance is mush
[03:03.35] And it stifles those who strive
[03:07.64] Well I'll live a lush life in some small dive
[03:16.54] And I, I'll be alright with the rest
[03:25.04] All those whose lives are lonely too
[05:23.14]
