Lady Gaga
Lush Life (Live from Jazz At Lincoln Center)
[Verse 1: Lady Gaga]
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 distingué 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

[Verse 2: Lady Gaga]
Then you came along
With your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while
That your poignant smilе
Was tinged with a sadness
Of a great lovе for me
Oh, yes, I was wrong
Again, I was wrong

[Verse 3: Lady Gaga]
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
[Verse 4: Lady Gaga]
A week in Paris would ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
I'll forget you, I will
And 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

[Outro: Lady Gaga]
And then I'll be
While I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too

[Spoken: Tony Bennett]
