Cabaret

Music by 10,000 maniacs - lyrics by mary ramsey



Shards of glass cut through my gaze

Broken streamers hanging at my legs

Drunk and giddy full of fate

At the cabaret

Smokey stares from the bar

Do stray bottles tumble

I feel the misty spray

What a perfect, perfect day for the cabaret

From afar he sees

Venus rise overwhelmingly beautiful

He sighs the look of love was in her eyes

Puts his hand upon her leg

Looking closer his lust begins to fade

What a drag the queen did say.

Could this be a dream i'm in? ( fellini would be proud )

Gluttony enfolds the scene

Give them one last round ,

Shining faces dance away

Swinging skirts between the panted legs

Kaleidescoping

Then shassez in a blink the glasses fly

Suddenly joy becomes a fight

There they tossed and turned a sight.
