You had a better look than I, you caught it from the top of my world How could they know this? You're cut wide open, you spill all over the floor cut wide open, you're pulling from the ropes and running from the ones you know Pray to the pessimist They told you not forever They told you not today save me, till its all you can take you promised me Broadway but you sold me cabaret spit it out for better taste I don't care if you're ready or not, the sentiment tears my hold you come right up and you tear me open I spill all over the floor cut wide open, its been rough being broken, all alone, this body better get up Pray to the pessimist They told you not forever They told you not today save me, till its all you can take you promised me Broadway but you sold me cabaret Spit it out Pray to the pessimist They told you not forever They told you not today save me, till its all you can take you promised me Broadway but you sold me cabaret I don't care if you're ready or not You're ready or not
