Live Nude Cabaret

[Verse 1]

I went to the live nude cabaret

To see what I could see

And I saw the ladies dancing

And I guess that they saw me

Neither did I vanquish

Or surrender to desire

But what I saw revealed to me

Was more fuel on the fire

[Verse 2]

I’ve heard form follows function

And I think that must be true

Especially when you think of

What the female form will do

Its lines and shapes are everywhere

As if they follow me

Repeating my own longing

In everything I see

[Chorus]

Star of happiness, star of love

Lead us to that shore

That only women hold the promise of

Men would give them money

And men would give them gold

And shower them with promises

Of luxury untold

And make their vessels of creation

The temples of our souls

Oh, let my people go

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Sea of loneliness, sea of love

Carry me upon your endless depths

And bear my heart above

For I would give her money

And I would give her jewels

And lead her to the palace

My imagination rules

And fashion from her nakedness

The innocence that’s gone

Gone as the time she’s given the suffering of fools
