Chaos is creeping through your pretty picturesnHere in this land of savage dreamsnYou date to walk alone through empty streets wherenNothing is ever what it seemsnnSomebody calls you but you dare not answernMust be the voice of desperationnHere in these days of joy and instant karmanYou hide your stash and keep your stationnnJust let me paint a rosey picturenWhere doom and gloom is not allowednWe'll go cheek to cheeknAs we squeeze into the crowdnYour living death blew me awaynIn this last ditch cabaretnnYou heard the laughing shock was being roundednTo try their luck inside the yardnBlue-blooded sportsmen and your ultraviolet ladiesnKnow hoe to take their drinkin' hardnnOh brother don't you wish that you were like themnTheir panic never seems to shownTonight you're with them in this sexy cabaretnTonight there's nowhere else to gonnJust let me paint a rosey picturenWhere doom and gloom is not allowednWe'll go cheek to cheeknAs we squeeze into the crowdnYour living death blew me awaynIn this last ditch cabaretnnAll the bad old days are gonenThere's no one home but the lights are onnI'll be there before too longnKeep my head down right or wrongnnLet me paint a rosey picturenWhere doom and gloom is not allowednWe'll go cheek to cheeknAs we squeeze into the crowdnYour living death blew me awaynIn this last ditch cabaret
