《Lush life》歌词

[00:00:00] Lush Life - Carmen McRae (卡门·麦克蕾)

[00:00:10] I used to visit all the very gay places

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

[00:00:19] Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life

[00:00:25] To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails

[00:00:34] The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces

[00:00:40] With distant gay traces that used to be there

[00:00:45] You could see where they'd been washed away

[00:00:50] By too many through the day twelve o'clock tales

[00:01:02] Then you came along with your siren of song

[00:01:08] To tempt me to madness

[00:01:12] I thought for a while that your poignant smile

[00:01:18] Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me

[00:01:28] Ah yes I was wrong

[00:01:35] Again I was wrong

[00:01:44] Life is lonely again and only last year

[00:01:53] Everything seemed so sure now life is awful again

[00:02:04] A trough full of hearts could only be a bore

[00:02:12] A week in Paris will ease the bite of it

[00:02:20] All I care is to smile in spite of it

[00:02:27] I'll forget you I will

[00:02:32] While yet you are still burning inside my brain

[00:02:40] Romance is mush stifling those who strive

[00:02:48] I'll live a lush life in some small dive

[00:02:56] And there I'll be while I rot

[00:03:04] With the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
