《Lush Life》歌词

[00:00:00] Lush Life - Carmen McRae

[00:00:09] I used to visit all the very gay places

[00:00:15] Those come what may places

[00:00:18] Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life

[00:00:24] To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails

[00:00:33] The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces

[00:00:39] With distant gay traces that used to be there

[00:00:44] You could see where they'd been washed away

[00:00:49] By too many through the day twelve o'clock tales

[00:01:00] Then you came along with your siren of song

[00:01:07] To tempt me to madness

[00:01:11] I thought for a while that your poignant smile

[00:01:17] Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me

[00:01:26] Ah yes I was wrong

[00:01:33] Again I was wrong

[00:01:42] Life is lonely again and only last year

[00:01:51] Everything seemed so sure now life is awful again

[00:02:02] A trough full of hearts could only be a bore

[00:02:10] A week in Paris will ease the bite of it

[00:02:18] All I care is to smile in spite of it

[00:02:25] I'll forget you I will

[00:02:30] While yet you are still burning inside my brain

[00:02:38] Romance is mush stifling those who strive

[00:02:45] I'll live a lush life in some small dive

[00:02:54] And there I'll be while I rot

[00:03:02] With the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
