Lyrics
Halfway past this
Half-sunken fleet on it's trail
There's rum on this boat
So it's not the seasickness
That makes us pale
Let's float
And together enjoy
This taunt of a toast
Tomorrow we'll be back
To the haunting like ghosts
Father figurines and drag statuines
Red carpet graves dragged out
From the graveyard limousines
Besides us the scene
With it's curtains all closed
Until the lights go back to black
And the curtain calls
An applause arouses the doused and the well lit
Tonight's filled with tragedies
Spirits on Aperol spritz
Drink us away till the nighttime decays
And let's toast!
To our death, nearing the cabaret stage
Here comes the opening acts for today
A band of jazz dug up
From the graves where they've laid
The tunes that they play, are of a different age
Let's drink till we die
There's no room for mistakes
Here in this cabaret scene
We're laughing on our way
Away from our grief
Tomorrow is just another dream
To wake up to the regular peaceful sleep
If tomorrow's a day where we're living again
Until tomorrow we'll just gonna have to pretend
Again, again and again and again
A toast to the host who
Comes with the most to say
Hey I know you, let me show you
The white horse I brought today
We'll ride to the white moon
Eventually but we'll stay
One hundred years or so to wait
It seems so close, yet so far away
Yeah just pour me a drink
Something's starting to stink
There's a whore in the corner
Whos showing her teeth
And it's making me sink
My skin's turning to green
As we're dancing
Enhancing this cabaret scene
Now would you believe me?
That I've seen things?
It feels like we're living this life in repeat
In the shadows are creeps
Only one thing to do
A toast to de-ja-vu
Here in this cabaret scene
We're laughing on our way
Away from our grief
Tomorrow is just another dream
To wake up to the regular peaceful sleep
If tomorrow's a day where we're living again
Until tomorrow we'll just gonna have to pretend
Again, again and again and again
Here in this cabaret scene
We're laughing on our way
Away from our grief
Tomorrow is just another dream
To wake up to the regular peaceful sleep
If tomorrow's a day where we're living again
Until tomorrow we'll just gonna have to pretend
Again, again and again and again
