| 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 | |
| Re | peating my own longing in | everything I | see |
| E | A/E | E | C#(#5)/F | |
| Star of | happiness | star of | love |
| F#m | |
| Lead us t | o 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 |

| 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 i | magination 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 |
