Lush Life - Archie Shepp Quartet/Annette Lowman/Archie Shepp
Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A trough full of hearts
Can 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
Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A trough full of hearts
Can 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
