Lyrics

[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
