Lush Life - billy eckstine[00:00:00]
I used to visit all these very gay places[00:00:10]
Those come what may places[00:00:14]
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life[00:00:17]
To get a feel of life[00:00:23]
From jazz and cocktails[00:00:26]
The girls i knew had sad and sullen grey faces[00:00:32]
With distant gay traces[00:00:36]
That used to be there[00:00:39]
You could see where they've been washed away[00:00:40]
By too many through the day[00:00:45]
Twelve o'clock tales[00:00:49]
Then you came along[00:00:56]
With a siren song[00:01:01]
It tempts me to madness[00:01:04]
I thought for a while that your poignant smile[00:01:11]
Was tinged with the sadness[00:01:19]
Of a great love for me[00:01:24]
Yes i was wrong[00:01:34]
Again i was wrong[00:01:45]
Life is lonely again[00:02:00]
And only last year everything seemed so sure[00:02:06]
Now life is awful again[00:02:17]
A trough full of hearts could never be a bore[00:02:24]
A week to paris[00:02:37]
At least a bite of it[00:02:41]
All i care is to smile in spite of it[00:02:46]
I'll forget you i will[00:02:56]
And yet you are still[00:03:01]
Burning inside my brain[00:03:04]
Romance is mush[00:03:14]
Stifling those who strive[00:03:17]
Well i'll live a lush life in some small dive[00:03:21]
And then i'll be[00:03:32]
Well i rock with the rest[00:03:36]
All those whose lives are lonely too[00:03:43]
