Letra de Lush Life (Live at Perkins Palace, Los Angeles, CA 4/16/1982)
I used to visit all the very gay placesThose 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 talesThen 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 itI'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.
