Music by 10000 Maniacs - Lyrics by Mary Ramsey. 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. puts his hand upon her leg. looking closer his lust begins to fade. what a drag the queen did say.. could this be a dream Iâ€™m in? ( Fellini would be proud ). gluttony enfolds the scene. give them one last round . shining faces dance away. swinging skirts between the panted legs. kaleidescoping. then shassez in a blink the glasses fly. suddenly joy becomes a fight. there they tossed and turned a sight..
