Lush Life

Around Midnight专辑

  • 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`clocktails

    then you came along with your siren`s song
    to tempt me to madness
    i thought for a while that your pointed 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 assured
    now life is awful again
    and the thoughtful of heart
    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
    and 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
