You once dreamed of castles and merry-go-rounds
To be Cinderella in an Alice blue gown
Now side streets and back beats and what might have been
Lead you to nowhere again and again
The curtain is calling, come take your bow
It's getting too late for turning back now
And you still believe that life's a cabaret
And fairy tales will carry you away
It's closing time and you're left on your own
And only you can find a way back home
You look under rainbows, look over the lies
Look for an answer in anyone's eyes
Reach out for lovers in too many beds
Reach for the needle but can't hold a thread
Whiskey and roses fill your loving cup
Leaving you empty when the sun's coming up
And you still believe that life's a caberet
And fairy tales will carry you away
When loneliness is the world you've ever known
And only you can find the way back home
That knight in shining armor
You know he'll never come
On to the cabaret, old chum
Do you still believe that life's a caberet?
That fairy tales will carry you away?
It's closing time and you're left on your own
And only you can find the way back home
The way back home
The way back home
The way back home
