  F#m
I went to the live nude cabaret
   Dmaj7
To see what I could see
      F#mAnd (244222@1)I saw the ladies dancing
      Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)             C#7And (x4342x@1)I guess that they saw me
F#m (244222@1)                     Dmaj7Neither (xx0222@1)did I vanquish or surrender to desire
    F#m (244222@1)      
But what I saw revealed to me
         C#7 (x4342x@1)            F#m (244222@1)Was just more fuel on the fire

     F#m (244222@1)I've heard form follows function
      Dmaj7And (xx0222@1)I think that much is true
F#mEspecially (244222@1)when you think of
         Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)          C#7What (x4342x@1)the female form will do
    F#m (244222@1)                 
Its lines and shapes are everywhere
   Dmaj7
As if they follow me
  F#m (244222@1)                     C#7 (x4342x@1)        F#mRepeating (244222@1)my own longing in everything I see

Star of happiness star of love
         F#mLead (244222@1)us to the shore
                Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)          C#7That (x4342x@1)only women hold the promise of
F#mMen (244222@1)would give them money
    Dmaj7And (xx0222@1)men would give them gold
    A (x02220@1)                 
And shower them with promises
   C#7Of (x4342x@1)luxury untold
    F#mAnd (244222@1)make their vessels of creation
    Dmaj7The (xx0222@1)temples of our souls
F#m (244222@1)  C#7 (x4342x@1)         F#mOhhhhh (244222@1)let my people go

Sea of loneliness sea of love

Carry me upon our endless depths
    Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)       C#7And (x4342x@1)bear my heart above
    F#mFor (244222@1)I would give her money
    Dmaj7And (xx0222@1)I would give her jewels
    A (x02220@1)                        C#7And (x4342x@1)lead her to the palace my imagination rules
    F#mAnd (244222@1)fashion from her nakedness
    Dmaj7The (xx0222@1)innocence that's gone
F#m (244222@1)                            C#7 (x4342x@1)        F#mGone (244222@1)as the time she's given the suffering of fools
