Mark Seymour - Last Ditch Cabaret lyrics

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 d**h 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 s**y 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 d**h 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 d**h blew me away In this last ditch cabaret
