lyrics

Anyone here for love? We’re not gonna fix this mess.
Not in a hundred years. So anyone here for love?
Oh Lorelei and Dorothy I think we were made for this.
We are here to watch a cabaret show, not to dispense justice.

The moment they had is gone, the money they had is gone
and there are no miracle cures to fix the damage they've done.
But I have a dream of a country, I have a dream of a city,
where there are late night bars that'll pay good money to see our scars.
Everyone here's in need of love, now who'll be the first we kiss?
We are here to watch a cabaret show, not to dispense justice.

London and New York are sinking under the waves.
No one's gonna sing for them.
This is not a time for pissing round making hay.
Dry land is a girl's best friend.
It’s too late for us to go back to Little Rock now even if we wanted to.
All the lights have gone out on that little old town
Anyway they never loved you like I do, my Lorelei, my Dorothy.
We could make the perfect team, girls. Please take me with you,
won't you?
