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
I used to visit all the very gay places
The 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 that you could see
Where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clock tales
Then you came along with a siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while that your poignant smile
Was filled with the sadness of a great love for me
Oh yeah, I was wrong
Again, I was wrong
Mhm
Yeah, baby
Set 'em up, Joe
Sit down, baby, I got a story I wanna tell you now
Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so sure
And now life is awful again
A trough full of hearts
Would 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
But while 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
Lonely, lonely
Uh-huh
And amen
I thought I was
No, but you was eight or something
But that's alright, you're
But I see
A week in Paris
Might ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile a little in spite of it
And I'll forget you, I will
But while you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling when you strive
I'll live a lush life
In some small dive
And there I'll be
While I rot with the rest
And there I'll be
Save my spot with the rest
And there I'll be, yeah
Save my spot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too, well
Of those whose lives are lonely too
Those whose lives are lonely too
Lonely, lonely, lonely too
Lonely, lonely
I thought of that song too, that's it
Set 'em up, Joe
Yeah
Peter, Peter
Beautiful, Peter
Beautiful, beautiful
Wow
