Year: 2003
This isn't at all unpleasant, I'm enchanted
By the lavish ballet and I'll whistle the tune
All the way to the gallows that I heard at the cabaret
At the sheriff's signal, the orchestra moves the floor
Don't it make you feel wonderful?
Body twisting, strictly ballroom
Criminally elegant, ideal pastured Viennese waltzer
I'm dressed to kill, I'm weightless and well rehearsed
In my godless opera, my character is canonized
Unhand me, this is a musical and nothing goes wrong
Can't keep the classics out of the head of the masochists
Strike up the band, strike up the band
It's 245 beats for a measure
Or 5 beats per 6 steps on alternating feet
The show must go on, never mind the teeth and the fingernails
The show must go on, I don't feel at all like I thought I would
But I could probably go on like this forever
Tonight, we dance, for tomorrow they release the dogs
Tonight, we dance, for tomorrow they release the dogs
Tonight, we dance, for tomorrow they release the dogs
1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3
Keep it up
1, 2, 3
Savor it, savor it, savor it, savor it
Savor it, savor it, savor it, savor it
Savor it, savor it, savor it, savor it
Savor it, savor it, everything vanishes
