Lush Life Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

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 grey 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 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 could ease the bite of it 

All I care is to smile in spite of it 

Photos 

I'll forget you, I will 

While yet you are still burning inside my brain 

Romance is mush, stifling those who strive 

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
