Cabaret Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

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 

At the cabaret 

Puts his hand upon her leg 

Looking closer his lust begins to fade 

What a drag the queen did say 

At the cabaret 

Could this be a dream Im in 

Fellini would be proud 

Gluttony enfolds the scene 

Give 'em one last round 

Shining faces dance away 

Swinging skirts between the panted legs 

Kaleidescoping then shassez 

At the cabaret 

In a blink the glasses fly 

Suddenly joy becomes a fight 

There they tossed and turned a sight 

At the cabaret 

Could this be a dream Im in 

Fellini would be proud 

Gluttony enfolds the scene 

Give 'em one last round, last round, yeah
