Last Ditch Cabaret
Chaos is creeping through your pretty picturesHere in this land of savage dreamsYou date to walk alone through empty streets whereNothing is ever what it seemsSomebody calls you but you dare not answerMust be the voice of desperationHere in these days of joy and instant karmaYou hide your stash and keep your stationJust let me paint a rosey pictureWhere doom and gloom is not allowedWe'll go cheek to cheekAs we squeeze into the crowdYour living death blew me awayIn this last ditch cabaretYou heard the laughing shock was being roundedTo try their luck inside the yardBlue-blooded sportsmen and your ultraviolet ladiesKnow hoe to take their drinkin' hardOh brother don't you wish that you were like themTheir panic never seems to showTonight you're with them in this sexy cabaretTonight there's nowhere else to goSongtexteJust let me paint a rosey pictureWhere doom and gloom is not allowedWe'll go cheek to cheekAs we squeeze into the crowdYour living death blew me awayIn this last ditch cabaretAll the bad old days are goneThere's no one home but the lights are onI'll be there before too longKeep my head down right or wrongLet me paint a rosey pictureWhere doom and gloom is not allowedWe'll go cheek to cheekAs we squeeze into the crowdYour living death blew me awayIn this last ditch cabaret Aus Songtexte Mania
