These metronome men and their clockwork careers They dream the same dreams They fear the same fears What ever happened to all of those years? Just a gold pocket watch For all of that blood, sweat, toil and tears
Pre-Chorus:
All that glitters can never be gold All that shimmers can always be sold All that differs can never be told
Chorus:
Masquerade In this city of dreams Masquerade Its not all what it seems Masquerade Watch the people go round Masquerade In this carousel town
Verse 2:
These harlequin harlots And their festival flair Fake smiles, fake _______ Fake nails, and fake hair What ever happened to joy and despair?
Just an old broken mask For all of that faith, hope, love, and care
Pre-Chorus:
All that glitters can never be gold All that shimmers can always be sold All that differs can never be told
Chorus:
Masquerade In this city of dreams Masquerade Its not all what it seems Masquerade Watch the people go round Masquerade In this carousel town
Bridge:
Where is my angel? Where is he now? Ive written my (magnum) opus And the inks all but run out
Chorus:
Masquerade In this city of dreams Masquerade Its not all what it seems Masquerade Watch the people go round Masquerade In this carousel town
