Standard (EADGBE)

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

know how 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 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

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
