Lyrics Lush Life - John Coltrane , Johnny Hartman
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
distant
gay
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
troughful
of
hearts
could
only
be
a
bore.
A
week
in
Paris
will
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
lives
are
lonely,
too.
