Chaos is creeping through your pretty pictures   Here in this land of savage dreams   You date to walk alone through empty streets where   Nothing is ever what it seems      Somebody calls you but you dare not answer   Must be the voice of desperation   Here in these days of joy and instant karma   You hide your stash and keep your station      Just let me paint a rosey picture   Where doom and gloom is not allowed   We'll go cheek to cheek   As we squeeze into the crowd   Your living death blew me away   In this last ditch cabaret      You heard the laughing shock was being rounded   To try their luck inside the yard   Blue-blooded sportsmen and your ultraviolet ladies   Know hoe to take their drinkin' hard      Oh brother don't you wish that you were like them   Their panic never seems to show   Tonight you're with them in this sexy cabaret   Tonight there's nowhere else to go      Just let me paint a rosey picture   Where doom and gloom is not allowed   We'll go cheek to cheek   As we squeeze into the crowd   Your living death blew me away   In this last ditch cabaret      All the bad old days are gone   There's no one home but the lights are on   I'll be there before too long   Keep my head down right or wrong      Let me paint a rosey picture   Where doom and gloom is not allowed   We'll go cheek to cheek   As we squeeze into the crowd   Your living death blew me away   In this last ditch cabaret
