masquerade!
paper faces on parade...
masquerade!
hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!
masquerade!
every face a different shade...
masquerade!
look around-
there`s another
mask behind you!
flash of mauve...
splash of puce...
fool and king...
ghoul and goose...
green and black...
trace of rouge...
face of deast...
faces...
take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round...
in an inhuman race...
eya of gold...
thigh of blue...
true is false...
who is who...?
curl of lip...
swirl of gown...
ace of hearts...
face of clown...
faces...
drink it in, drink it up.
till you`ve drowned
in the light...
in the sound...
masquerade!
grining yellows,
spinning reds...
masquerade!
take your fill-
let the spectacle
astound you!
masquerade!
burning glances,
turning heads...
masquerade!
stop and stare
at the sea of smiles
around you!
masquerade!
seething shadows
breathing lies...
masquerade!
you can fool
any friend who
ever knew you!
masquerade!
leering satyrs,
peering eyes...
masquerade!
run and hide-
but a face will
still pursue you!
