Welcome to the Cosmic Cabaret - Magnum

When things never happen like you wanted

Dark nights always keep you in the shade

Some words would be better left unspoken

No joke, there’s a price that must be paid

Oh will you never realize

Rich or poor, you can still be left behind

And if you wanna stay alive

Keep your head, don’t you ever be unkind

Gold rings and your faith in the Madonna

These things, you believe them to be true

Maybe if the world should end tomorrow

Just cry with a teardrop-look tattoo

Oh, it gets harder to decide

Who are you, saying maybe it’s our fate?

And when you said you’ve never lied

Fingers crossed, there’s no time to celebrate

I gave no thought to wisdom

It all but vanished in the haze

This fragile hand of fortune

Had changed and turned it all to grey

In secret rooms where we conspired

The very streets we walked along

The desert heat became a fire

And no idea where we belonged

Now every day I fall apart

The sky is full of emptiness

I’ll take the blame, the burning heart

It brings me down, I must confess

Hard game and the music’s going nowhere

This room’s getting smaller by the day

Some dog on the street, he just keeps howling

Welcome to the cosmic cabaret

And when you’ve got nowhere to go

Speechless, blind, you won’t find your way back home

And when you’re sinking down below

Stand your ground like you always have been shown

I gave no thought to wisdom

It all but vanished in the haze

This fragile hand of fortune

Had changed and turned it all to grey

In secret rooms where we conspired

The very streets we walked along

The desert heat became a fire

And no idea where we belonged

Now every day I fall apart

The sky is full of emptiness

I’ll take the blame, the burning heart

It brings me down, I must confess

I gave no thought to wisdom

It all but vanished in the haze

This fragile hand of fortune

Had changed and turned it all to grey

In secret rooms where we conspired

The very streets we walked along

The desert heat became a fire

And no idea where we belonged

Now every day I fall apart

The sky is full of emptiness

I’ll take the blame, the burning heart

It brings me down, I must confess

Now every day I fall apart

The sky is full of emptiness

I’ll take the blame, the burning heart

It brings me down, I must confess
