Lush Life - Kay Davis[00:00:01]
Written by:Strayhorn/Latouche[00:00:02]
I used to visit all the very gay places[00:00:13]
Those come what may places[00:00:17]
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life[00:00:20]
To get the feel of life[00:00:25]
From jazz and cocktails[00:00:28]
The guys I knew had sad and sullen gray faces[00:00:34]
With distant gay traces[00:00:39]
That used to be there[00:00:43]
You could see where they'd been washed away[00:00:44]
By too many through the day[00:00:48]
Twelve o'clock tales[00:00:51]
Then you came along with your siren song[00:00:55]
To tempt me to madness[00:00:59]
I thought for a while that your poignant smile[00:01:03]
Was tinged with the sadness[00:01:08]
Of a great love for me[00:01:11]
Unless I was wrong again I was wrong[00:01:18]
Life is lonely again[00:01:32]
And only last year everything seemed so sure[00:01:38]
Now life is awful again[00:01:47]
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore[00:01:53]
A week in Paris will ease the bite of it[00:02:02]
All I care is to smile in spite of it[00:02:10]
I'll forget you I will[00:02:18]
While yet you are still burning inside my brain[00:02:23]
Romance is mush[00:02:33]
Stifling those who strive[00:02:37]
I'll live a lush life in some small dive[00:02:41]
And there I'll be while I rot with the rest[00:02:52]
Of those whose lives are lonely too[00:03:01]
A week in Paris will ease the bite of it[00:03:30]
All I care is to smile in spite of it[00:03:38]
I'll forget you I will[00:03:45]
While yet you are still burning inside my brain[00:03:50]
Romance is mush[00:04:00]
Stifling those who strive[00:04:04]
I'll live a lush life in some small dive[00:04:09]
And there I'll be while I rot with the rest[00:04:20]
Of those whose lives are lonely too[00:04:30]
