Darling, you can't live your life

Singing songs in exile

You were born for stardom's crown

And not for self-denial

So don't you close the door on fate

When she comes to call

And tell her that you'll join her there

At the masquerader's ball

Funny how some people never love at all

We'll take the whole shebang

All or nothing, anything

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang

We'll take the whole shebang

Free your heart of guilt and shame

Come and claim what's yours

The whole shebang

Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner, my dear

Except for contemplations evil brother, love is feared

But love is extra-terrestrial

And love falls from the stars

Like Maxwell Demon's silver disk

Into this world of ours

Funny how we keep on loving, true love power

We'll take the whole shebang

All or nothing, anything

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang

We'll take the whole shebang

Free your heart of guilt and shame

Come and claim what's yours

The whole shebang

Kick up your heels and paint your face

Wave goodbye to yesteryear

We can swing in outer space

Or from the chandeliers

Though sometimes it breaks my heart, I hide my tears

We'll take the whole shebang

All or nothing, anything

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang

We'll take the whole shebang

Free your heart of guilt and shame

Come and claim what's yours

The whole shebang
