Intro:
|F#m      |Dmaj7      |F#m     |Dmaj7     |
|F#m      |Dmaj7      |F#m     |Dmaj7     |


  F#m
I went to the live nude cabaret
   Dmaj7
To see what I could see
      F#m
And I saw the ladies dancing
      Dmaj7               C#7
And I guess that they saw me
F#m                       Dmaj7
Neither did I vanquish or surrender to desire
    F#m        
But what I saw revealed to me
         C#7              F#m 
Was just more fuel on the fire

     F#m 
I?ve heard form follows function
      Dmaj7
And I think that much is true
F#m
Especially when you think of
         Dmaj7            C#7
What the female form will do
    F#m                   
Its lines and shapes are everywhere
   Dmaj7
As if they follow me
  F#m                       C#7          F#m
Repeating my own longing in everything I see

E       A/E       E       C#(#5)/F                   
Star of happiness star of love
         F#m
Lead us to the shore
                Dmaj7            C#7
That only women hold the promise of
F#m
Men would give them money
    Dmaj7
And men would give them gold
    A                   
And shower them with promises
   C#7
Of luxury untold
    F#m
And make their vessels of creation
    Dmaj7
The temples of our souls
F#m    C#7           F#m
Ohhhhh let my people go

|F#m    |Dmaj7     |F#m     |C#7   F#m     |2/4 F#m   |

E      A/E        E      C#(#5)/F   
Sea of loneliness sea of love
      F#m    
Carry me upon our endless depths
    Dmaj7         C#7
And bear my heart above
    F#m
For I would give her money
    Dmaj7
And I would give her jewels
    A                          C#7
And lead her to the palace my imagination rules
    F#m
And fashion from her nakedness
    Dmaj7
The innocence that?s gone
F#m                              C#7          F#m
Gone as the time she?s given the suffering of fools
