Lush Life 歌詞

 

Lush Life - Carmen McRae

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 of 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 trough full 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 will

 

While 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 rot

 

 

With the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
