[00:00.00]Lush Life - billy eckstine
[00:10.59]I used to visit all these very gay places
[00:14.78]Those come what may places
[00:17.57]Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
[00:23.05]To get a feel of life
[00:26.28]From jazz and cocktails
[00:32.22]The girls i knew had sad and sullen grey faces
[00:36.70]With distant gay traces
[00:39.71]That used to be there
[00:40.95]You could see where they've been washed away
[00:45.26]By too many through the day
[00:49.29]Twelve o'clock tales
[00:56.58]Then you came along
[01:01.56]With a siren song
[01:04.60]It tempts me to madness
[01:11.48]I thought for a while that your poignant smile
[01:19.52]Was tinged with the sadness
[01:24.46]Of a great love for me
[01:34.40]Yes i was wrong
[01:45.70]Again i was wrong
[02:00.59]Life is lonely again
[02:06.25]And only last year everything seemed so sure
[02:17.28]Now life is awful again
[02:24.05]A trough full of hearts could never be a bore
[02:37.32]A week to paris
[02:41.08]At least a bite of it
[02:46.12]All i care is to smile in spite of it
[02:56.08]I'll forget you i will
[03:01.14]And yet you are still
[03:04.91]Burning inside my brain
[03:14.36]Romance is mush
[03:17.53]Stifling those who strive
[03:21.81]Well i'll live a lush life in some small dive
[03:32.38]And then i'll be
[03:36.62]Well i rock with the rest
[03:43.29]All those whose lives are lonely too
