[ Featuring Martina DaSilva ]
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 boys I knew had sad and sullen gray faces With distinguish 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 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
