| [00:04.49] |
I used to visit all the very gay places |
| [00:08.92] |
Those come-what-may places |
| [00:12.40] |
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life |
| [00:17.81] |
To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails |
| [00:24.79] |
|
| [00:26.06] |
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces |
| [00:31.12] |
With distingue traces that used to be there |
| [00:35.53] |
You could see where they'd been washed away |
| [00:38.93] |
By too many through the day, twelve o'clock tales |
| [00:46.61] |
|
| [00:48.49] |
Then you came along with your siren song |
| [00:53.76] |
To tempt me to madness |
| [00:57.43] |
I thought for awhile that your poignant smile |
| [01:02.68] |
Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me |
| [01:11.88] |
Ah yes, I was wrong |
| [01:20.02] |
Again, I was wrong |
| [01:29.42] |
|
| [01:31.68] |
Life is lonely again and only last year |
| [01:42.47] |
Everything seemed so sure |
| [01:49.19] |
Now life is awful again |
| [01:55.24] |
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore |
| [02:04.91] |
|
| [02:06.00] |
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it |
| [02:15.03] |
All I care is to smile in spite of it |
| [02:22.08] |
|
| [02:23.48] |
I'll forget you, I will while yet you are still |
| [02:33.40] |
Burning inside my brain romance is mush |
| [02:42.85] |
Stifling those who strive |
| [02:47.31] |
|
| [02:47.87] |
I'll live a lush life in some small dive |
| [02:55.14] |
And there I'll be |
| [02:59.11] |
While I rot with the rest of those |
| [03:04.37] |
Whose lives are lonely too |
| [03:10.95] |
|
| [04:25.53] |
Romance is mush |
| [04:34.25] |
Stifling those who strive |
| [04:39.61] |
I'll live a lush life in some small dive |
| [04:52.26] |
And there I'll be |
| [04:57.42] |
While I rot with the rest of those |
| [05:03.61] |
Whose lives are lonely too |
