Rickie Lee Jones - Lush Life слова песни
(written by Billy Strahorn)I used to visit all the very gay placesThose come-what-may placesI used to visit all the very gay placesWhere one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of lifeTo get the feel of lifeFrom jazz and cocktails.The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray facesWith distingue tracesThat used to be there -- You could see where they`d been washed awayBy too many through the dayTwelve o`clock talesThen you came along with your siren songTo tempt me to madness...I thought for a while that your poignant smileWas 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 itAll I care is to smile in spite of itI`ll forget you, I willWhile yet you are stillBurning inside my brainRomance is mushStifling those who striveI`ll live a lush life in some small diveAnd there I`ll be, while I rot with the restOf those whose lives are lonely too.
