Chaos is creeping through your pretty pictures 
Here in this land of savage dreams 
You dare 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 stock was being rounded 
to try their luck inside the yard 
Blue-blooded sporstmen and your ultra-violet ladies 
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 check as we squeeze into the crowd 
Your living death blew me away 
In this last ditch cabaret
