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
Queen  and  priest
Trace  of  rouge
Face  of  beast
Faces
Take  your  turn,take  a  ride
on  the  merry-go-round
in  an  inhuman  race
Eye  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!
Grinning  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!
