| [02:30.63] |
I used to visit all the very gay places |
| [02:34.08] |
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life |
| [02:35.19] |
To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails |
| [02:36.72] |
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces |
| [02:38.28] |
With distingue traces that used to be there |
| [02:41.22] |
You could see where they'd been washed away |
| [02:42.21] |
By too many through the day twelve o'clock tales |
| [02:45.66] |
Then you came along with your siren song |
| [02:46.50] |
To tempt me to madness |
| [03:01.59] |
I thought for awhile that your poignant smile |
| [03:03.00] |
Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me |
| [03:04.05] |
Ah yes I was wrong |
| [03:04.56] |
Again I was wrong |
| [03:10.23] |
Life is lonely again and only last year |
| [04:00.75] |
Everything seemed so sure |
| [04:01.53] |
Now life is awful again |
| [04:02.04] |
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore |
| [04:03.96] |
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it |
| [04:05.40] |
All I care is to smile in spite of it |
| [04:06.18] |
I'll forget you I will while yet you are still |
| [04:09.33] |
Burning inside my brain romance is mush |
| [04:10.29] |
Stifling those who strive |
| [04:31.59] |
I'll live a lush life in some small dive |
| [04:32.37] |
And there I'll be |
| [04:32.73] |
While I rot with the rest of those |
| [04:39.93] |
Whose lives are lonely too |
| [04:40.47] |
Romance is mush |
| [04:41.97] |
Stifling those who strive |
| [04:43.62] |
I'll live a lush life in some small dive |
| [04:44.40] |
And there I'll be |
| [04:44.76] |
While I rot with the rest of those |
| [04:56.58] |
Whose lives are lonely too |
