Lush Life Lyrics - Lush Life - John Coltrane

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 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 tales 

Then you came along with your siren song 

To tempt me to madness 

I thought for awhile 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 could 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 

Photos 

So 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
