I used to visit all those very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get that feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The boys I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distangue 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
Now life is lonely again
When only last year
Everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A troughful of tears
Could only be a bore
A week in Paris could ease a bite of it all
I care is to smile in spite of it all
Forget you I will
And yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling all who strive
I'll lead a lush life in some small dive
And there I'll be as I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too
