Lady Gaga – Lush Life Song Lyrics

About Lady Gaga: Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for reinventing herself throughout her career and for her versatility in numerous areas of the entertainment industry.

She studied at Collaborative Arts Project 21, through New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, before dropping out to pursue a music career.

Lyrics:

[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 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,
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
