Music by 10,000 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 I'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.
