Lush Life

Lyrics and music: Billy Strayhorn


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 that feel of life From jazz and cocktails.

The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces With distingue traces They 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, When only last year everything seemed so sure. Now life is awful again, A trough-ful of tears 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 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 And there I'll be, while I rot with the rest

of those whose lives are lonely, too..

In bloodmoney 2, the higher your goal, the heavier your burden. You’ll feel the desperation bleed through every click.

they finally conquer a level, and the Geometry Dash game, it remembers every single attempt made in that dusty trail. This here cycle—stumble, gather wisdom, give it another go—sure has a way of lassoing a fella in.
