[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
