Listen up This ain’t so ironic Smoking mirrors, lights and magic People’s faces and gold There’s soldier boys, beauty queens Everyone’s a mystery It’s like we’re losing control
Yearning I’m yearning Put the wonder dust in my eyes Gonna play in this game of disguise
Chorus It’s a masquerade A love parade So won’t you stay And dance with me All through the light of day My masquerade I need you baby Stay with me tonight Masquerade (8x)
Just like a perfect dream I don’t ever wanna leave A thousand freaks in a show One’s a tiger One’s a lynx One’s the king of suffering Oh and I move below
Burning I’m burning Can’t you see it in my eyes Wanna play in this game of disguise
Chorus
I gotta know That girl behind the mask Let me in Where you’ve been Don’t pretend Don’t gotta hide no Show your face to me We could be Everything
