Every Time I Die
"Off Broadway"

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 caberet
At the sheriff's signal
the orchestra moves the floor

Don't it make you feel wonderful ?
Body twisting strictly ballroom
Criminally elegant
Ideal pastured 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 masachists

Strike up the band
It's 245 beats for a measure or 5 beats per 6 steps on alternating feet
The show must go on
Nevermind 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 the 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.
