Lush Life-Stefano di Battista

[00:04.49]I used to visit all the very gay places [00:08.92]Those come-what-may places [00:12.40]Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life [00:17.81]To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails [00:24.79] [00:26.06]The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces [00:31.12]With distingue traces that used to be there [00:35.53]You could see where they'd been washed away [00:38.93]By too many through the day, twelve o'clock tales [00:46.61] [00:48.49]Then you came along with your siren song [00:53.76]To tempt me to madness [00:57.43]I thought for awhile that your poignant smile [01:02.68]Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me [01:11.88]Ah yes, I was wrong [01:20.02]Again, I was wrong [01:29.42] [01:31.68]Life is lonely again and only last year [01:42.47]Everything seemed so sure [01:49.19]Now life is awful again [01:55.24]A trough full of hearts could only be a bore [02:04.91] [02:06.00]A week in Paris could ease the bite of it [02:15.03]All I care is to smile in spite of it [02:22.08] [02:23.48]I'll forget you, I will while yet you are still [02:33.40]Burning inside my brain romance is mush [02:42.85]Stifling those who strive [02:47.31] [02:47.87]I'll live a lush life in some small dive [02:55.14]And there I'll be [02:59.11]While I rot with the rest of those [03:04.37]Whose lives are lonely too [03:10.95] [04:25.53]Romance is mush [04:34.25]Stifling those who strive [04:39.61]I'll live a lush life in some small dive [04:52.26]And there I'll be [04:57.42]While I rot with the rest of those [05:03.61]Whose lives are lonely too
