Cabaret

[Verse 1]
Somehow I find myself in Sweden
A little older, no more wiser
Facing up to all my demons
On this trip I’ll exorcise them

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that it’s overdue
But who likes the inconvenient truth
I know it’s only just the chemicals
But it’s all coming back to me now

[Chorus]
I came for the love
But I stay for the cabaret
We lay in the sun
And I pray there’s another way
I came for the love
Front row seats at the cabaret
And every number breaks my heart

[Verse 2]
I know I might seem put together
I know I’m sexy if I try
Oh Lucy humbles me so freely
With all the memories I hide

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that it’s overdue
But who likes the inconvenient truth
I know that it’s only just the chemicals
But it’s all coming back to me now

[Chorus]
I came for the love
But I stay for the cabaret
We lay in the sun
And I pray there’s another way
I came for the love
Front row seats at the cabaret
And every number breaks my heart

[Bridge]
Sally Bowles’ gonna hop on the stage
Sing a song about a boy turning thirty eight
He’s only been in love once
Now it’s retrograde
He don’t need convincing
If it’s real oh
Sally Bowles’ gonna hop on the stage
Sing a song about a boy turning thirty eight
He’s only been in love once
Now it’s retrograde
He don’t need convincing
If it’s real oh

[Chorus]
I came for the love
But I stay for the cabaret
We lay in the sun
And I pray there’s another way
(And I pray)
I came for the love
Front row seats at the cabaret
And every number breaks my heart
(And every number breaks my heart)

[Bridge]
Sally Bowles’ gonna hop on the stage
Sing a song about a boy turning thirty eight
He’s only been in love once
Now it’s retrograde
He don’t need convincing
If it’s real oh
