Lush Life Full Lyrics
[00:00.09] I used to visit all the very gay places
[00:24.45] Those come what may places
[00:26.66] Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
[00:31.11] To get the feel of life
[00:34.58] Of jazz and cocktails
[00:41.47] The boys I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
[00:45.59] With destin gay traces
[00:47.71] That used to be there, you could see where they'd been washed away
[00:52.00] By too many through the day
[00:55.82] Twelve o'clock tales
[01:01.59] Then you came along with your siren song
[01:05.36] To tempt me to madness
[01:10.92] I thought for a while that your poignant smile
[01:14.93] Was termed with the sadness
[01:19.55] Of a great love for me
[01:23.40] Ah yes, I was wrong
[01:28.71] Again I was wrong
[01:33.14] Life is lonely again
[01:45.30] And only last year everything seemed so sure
[01:54.24] Now life is awful again
[02:01.42] A troughful of hearts could only be a bore
[02:10.18] A week, a week in Paris will ease the bite of it
[02:19.92] All I care is to smile in spite of it
[02:29.13] I'll forget you, I will, while yet you are still
[02:37.13] Burning inside my brain
[02:42.83] Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
[02:53.01] I'll live a lush life in some small dive
[03:00.64] And there I'll be, where I'll rot
[03:06.28] With the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
[03:27.90]
