Artist/Band: Ella Fitzgerald
Lyrics for Song: Lush Life
Lyrics for Album: First Lady Of Song [1994]



I used to visit all the very gay places

Those come what may places

Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life

To get the feel of life

Through jazz and cocktails



The girls there all had sad and sullen gray faces

With distand gay traces

That used to be there you could see where they've 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 awhile that your ponient smile

was tinged with the sadness

of a great love for me

but oh 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 would only be a bore



A week in Paris would 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 lifes are lonely too.
