This isn't at all unpleasant.
I'm enchanted by the lavish ballet
and I'll whistle the tune
all the way to the gallows that I heard at the cabaret.
At the sheriff's signal, the orchestra moves the floor.
Don't it make you feel wonderful?
Body twisting strictly ballroom.
Criminally elegant ideal postured
Viennese waltzer.

I'm dressed to kill.
I'm weightless and well rehearsed.
In my godless opera my character is canonized.
Unhand me.
This is a musical and nothing goes wrong.

Can't keep the classics out of the head of the m________s.
Strike up the band.
It's 245 beats for a measure or 5 beats for 6 steps on alternating feet.
The show must go on.
Never mind the teeth and the fingernails,
the show must go on.
I don't feel at all like I thought I would,
but I could probably go on like this forever.

Tonight we dance, for tomorrow they release the dogs.

1,2,3. 1,2,3. Keep it up. 1,2,3.
Savor it.
Where is my head?
Where is my heart?
Everything vanishes
