Album: Hot Damn! (2003)

Off Broadway

This isn't at all unpleasent. I'm enchanted by the lavish ballet, and I'll whistle
the tune all the way to the gallows that I heard at the cabaret. At the sheriff's
singal, the orchestra moves the floor. Don't it make you feel wonderful? Body
twisting strictly ballroom. Criminally elegant ideal postured Viennese waltzer I'm
dressed to kill. I'm weightless and well rehearsed. In my godless opera my character
is canonized. Unhand me. This is a musical and nothing goes wrong. Can't keep the
classics out of the head of the masochists. Strike up the band. It's 245 beats for a
measure or 5 beats for 6 steps on alternating feet. The show must go on. Never mind
the teeth and the fingernails, the show must go on. I don't feel at all like I
thought I would, but I could probably go on like this forever. Tonight we dance, for
tomorrow they release the dogs. 1,2,3. 1,2,3. Keep it up. 1,2,3. Savor it. Where is
my head? Where is my heart? Everything vanishes
