Welcome to the Cabaret

[Verse 1] In a smoky room where dreams are sold the shadows dance and secrets are told every man will jump at the chance (to get the last laugh) [Verse 2] You try your hand at the poker table the smoke is thick and the whiskey hits a woman approaches, her touch is fatal you lean close, you've been waiting for this. [Chorus] Welcome to the cabaret, Where hearts collide and passions sway In the flicker of a lighter's flame We'll forever play this midnight game [Verse 2] The piano keys, they softly weep As lovers sway in each other's keep A jester's laugh, a loser's cry, In this cabaret, where tears can't lie. [Chorus] Welcome to the cabaret Where you men and women misbehave as you slowly stumble through the haze You'll forever play this midnight game [Bridge] Here in the spotlight's glare We'll forget our troubles, we won't care For in this moment, we're free to be separate from life's melancholy [Chorus] Welcome to the cabaret, Where a touch is all it takes to stay don't let your wallet run away lest you never want to see the day [Chorus] Welcome to the cabaret, Where a touch is all it takes to stay don't ever let your wallet run away or you'll never see the light of day [Instrumental] [outro] Welcome to the cabaret, Where a touch is all it takes to stay Welcome to the cabaret, Where you men and women misbehave Welcome to the cabaret, Where a touch is all it takes to stay
