Lush Life Lyrics

	I used to visit all the very gay places
	Those come what may places
	Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
	To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
	The girls
	I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
	With distant gay traces
	That used to be there you could see
	Where they'd been washed away
	By too many through the day, twelve o'clock tales
	Then you came along with your siren song
	To tempt me to madness
	I thought for a while that your poignant smile
	Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
	Ah yes, I was wrong
	Again, I was wrong
	Life is lonely again
	And only last year everything seemed so sure
	Now life is awful again
	A troughful of hearts could only be a bore
	A week in
	Paris will ease the bite of it
	All I care is to smile in spite of it
	I’ll forget you,
	I willWhile yet you are still burning inside my brain
	Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
	I’ll live a lush life in some small dive
	And there
	I’ll be, while
	I rotWith the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too

	I used to visit all the very gay places
	Those come what may places
	Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
	To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
	The girls
	I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
	With distant gay traces
	That used to be there you could see
	Where they' d been washed away
	By too many through the day, twelve o' clock tales
	Then you came along with your siren song
	To tempt me to madness
	I thought for a while that your poignant smile
	Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
	Ah yes, I was wrong
	Again, I was wrong
	Life is lonely again
	And only last year everything seemed so sure
	Now life is awful again
	A troughful of hearts could only be a bore
	A week in
	Paris will ease the bite of it
	All I care is to smile in spite of it
	I' ll forget you,
	I willWhile yet you are still burning inside my brain
	Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
	I' ll live a lush life in some small dive
	And there
	I' ll be, while
	I rotWith the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too

	I used to visit all the very gay places
	Those come what may places
	Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
	To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
	The girls
	I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
	With distant gay traces
	That used to be there you could see
	Where they' d been washed away
	By too many through the day, twelve o' clock tales
	Then you came along with your siren song
	To tempt me to madness
	I thought for a while that your poignant smile
	Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
	Ah yes, I was wrong
	Again, I was wrong
	Life is lonely again
	And only last year everything seemed so sure
	Now life is awful again
	A troughful of hearts could only be a bore
	A week in
	Paris will ease the bite of it
	All I care is to smile in spite of it
	I' ll forget you,
	I willWhile yet you are still burning inside my brain
	Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
	I' ll live a lush life in some small dive
	And there
	I' ll be, while
	I rotWith the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too
