Club Cabaret Lyrics

Lyrics

Club Cabaret was largely a band effort. Arturo came in with a few horn lines around which the song was constructed. The lyrics were inspired by a Milton's Paradise Lost, and the idea of Satan as an angel whose ego and creative drive made it impossible for him to play the role of a subordinate. "'Tis better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven." However, the voice could also be of a vanquished lover, or a political prisoner. Where is Club Cabaret? Perhaps its a secret club down on the water front, decorated with Christmas lights, perhaps it's a state of mind, perhaps a dream world that exists on another astral plane where two lovers can finally meet one last time.

A dance on a firery sea, the edge of eternity
