Live Nude Cabaret Lyrics

I went to the live nude cabaret
To see what I could see
And I saw the ladies dancing
And I guess that they saw meAnd neither did I vanquish
Or surrender to desire
But what I saw revealed to me
Was more fuel on the fireI've heard form follows function
And I think that must be true
Especially when you think of
What the female form will doIts lines and shapes are everywhere
As if they follow me
Repeating my own longing
In everything I seeStar of happiness, star of love
Lead us to the shore
That only women hold the promise ofMen would give them money
And men would give them gold
And shower them with promises
Of luxury untoldAnd make their vessels of creation

The temples of our souls
Oh, let my people goSea of loneliness, sea of love
Carry me upon your endless depths
And bear my heart aboveFor I would give her money
And I would give her jewelry
And lead her to the palace
My imagination rulesAnd fashion from her nakedness
The innocence that's gone
Gone as the time
She's given the suffering of fools
