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 me And neither did I vanquish Or surrender to desire But what I saw revealed to me Was more fuel on the fire I've heard form follows function And I think that must be true Especially when you think of What the female form will do Its lines and shapes are everywhere As if they follow me Repeating my own longing In everything I see Star of happiness, star of love Lead us to the shore That only women hold the promise of Men would give them money And men would give them gold And shower them with promises Of luxury untold And make their vessels of creation The temples of our souls Oh, let my people go Sea of loneliness, sea of love Carry me upon your endless depths And bear my heart above For I would give her money And I would give her jewelry And lead her to the palace My imagination rules And fashion from her nakedness The innocence that's gone Gone as the time She's given the suffering of fools
