Welcome to the Show

Welcome to my show. It's good to know
You don't mind getting out of bed
At least to see what happens next
Welcome to my burlesque sideshow
I think you might need a bottle of wine
To understand this sordid mess
I heard the preacher say a long, long time ago
"Rock and roll might move you
But the devil's gonna take your soul."

Say preacher, it's okay. No need to get excited
It's just cabaret, and even you're invited, but
Leave your doomsday prophecies at home
Yeah, it's alright. Step right up and try it
And we'll dance all night
You Love it, don't deny it, but
Put us down and you can dance alone
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show

Welcome to my world of make believe
You'll see just what I tell you to see
And leave your troubles at the door
I'm a killer, I'm a healer, I'm a miracle medicine man
And if the world should end in an hour
I have a fifty-nine minute plan
I'm your devil, I'm your angel, I'm your lover
And baby, I'm your whore
My doctor told me, "Be careful how you live
Rock and roll will take from you much more than you can give."

Hey doctor, it's alright. I don't need your prescription
I've got cabaret, my beautiful addiction, so
Leave your medication pad at home

But if it's cabaret, then go ahead and dose me
'Til there's no room in my veins for rock and roll
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show

Say, it's okay. No need to get excited
It's just cabaret, and even you're invited, but
Leave your doomsday prophecies at home
Yeah, it's alright. Step right up and try it
And we'll dance all night
You Love it, don't deny it, but
Put us down and you can dance alone
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
