Rickie Lee Jones - Lush Life lyrics
[Rickie Lee Jones - Lush Life lyrics]
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come-what may places
I used to visit all the very gay 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 distingue 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 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
Those come-what may places
I used to visit all the very gay 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 distingue 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 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
