Cabaret Inside

I was so hurt by one lady's words
My heart got broken then and from that day it didn't work
My soul got empty and life's lost all its sense...
I lost my happiness, my foes and my friends!

She didn't like a song that I wrote!
She said it was full of boring tragedy
That it was a monotonous melody
And my voice - it was just a bad parody

That my song was not satisfying requirements
That my ignorance sticks out a mile
And that I don't know what it really is
A true, satisfying requirements
"Dark cabaret style"

Here comes a lonely day
It brings oppressive night
And I just want to say
"Dark cabaret inside!"

Because I'm standing here
I'm singing to you, my dear!
You should give it a fair trial
Is it really a cabaret style?

I think there is more than enough
To become part of this stuff!
To satisfy everyone here.
Do you agree, my dear?

And now I need to say something having no connection with music
It is the dark-cabaret style, isn't it?
I'm just talking - "La-la-la" while the music is rocking
I'm just against the background. And nobody cares what I'm talking about...
And I forgot that I should say these words, you know, with а terrible accent
So is it a true dark cabaret style?

Here comes a lonely day
It brings oppressive night
And I just want to say
"Dark cabaret inside!"

I can write songs like this
With simple lyrics, with
Stereotyped refrains
For most modest brains!

Or should I say for the minds?
I don't care at all as it rhymes
This language is not my mother tongue
And I can allow myself
Sometimes to be wrong

Dark cabaret is the state of mind!
Dark cabaret is that something inside
Dark cabaret is played with odd sounds
Like a sound of a saw or even... these sounds!
For some it may sound like disgusting noise
Cause it is sung at times in an ugly voice
This music includes decadent notes
And hard-to-pronounce unintelligible words
Here come jokes told with a serious face!
And each contains a vulgar rude phrase
And if you're a charlatan or even a mage
Don't worry: you are part of this stage!

I can play songs like this every day
Primitive songs to keep "true" cabaret way
But I would rather sing songs that I like!
But I would rather sing songs that I like!
But I would rather sing songs that I like!
But I would rather sing songs that I like!
But I would rather sing songs that I like! I like!

One lady's words disturbed me so for quite a while...
Honey, I'm here creating my own
Dark cabaret style
