in the cabaret...

honorable
you're completely intolerable.
yet should I mention
you put the mind;
the body at ease?

indeed.

I see no need.
you strut your stuff
and I'll show you mine.
a peep show?
this is my glamour shot.

my boy,
I'll pin you up against the wall.
the curtain closes,
and I see you've got one thing on your mind.

the ride.
the slide.

oh my little toy,
I'll throw you out into the crowd.
I have no use for you anymore.

...

I see your face in this joint
every single night.
liquor,
and your muse
you use till closing time.
"bend over, honey.
you show me yours,
I'll give you mine."

what a let down,
a joke,
a lasting impression.

have you always called this home?
it's that sickening place
where you kick off your shoes,
where you have everything to lose
tomorrow,
we'll forget this dump.
the intrigue,
the danger

all the familiar strangers.

I'll call you again my boy,
I'll call you out.
I'll take you.
I'll take you for everything you're worth.

it's all part of the job,
my love.
