The Masquerade
Every day the Masquerade is sending out the callEvery day that Night Bregade came crashing through that doorThey said "What are you doing siting all alone just staring at the telephone?There's a place we know that you can go and join in the parade"And I said "I'm just sitting here licking my woundsAnd i don't think i'll be finished soonWhere can I find a place to hide from this mess I've made?"
At the Masquerade!You'll be glad you came!They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your faceAt the Masquerade!It's gonna be ok!Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
Blast and break throughThey dragged me to this zoo"Put your mask on: That's the key"Which animal is right for me?So I burst through the pearly gates andI was alarmed by what awaitedThey greeted me with open arms: Like I was one of themAnd I felt right away they let me inAbsolved me of my prior sinsSo I shed this wretched skin at last!And I became the mask!
At the Masquerade!You'll be glad you came!They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your faceAt the Masquerade!It's gonna be ok!Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
It's a chance to leave it all behind (leave it all behind)Start again, begin a brand new lifeThey were right that I wouldn't hate itTo think that I hesitatedI finally checked my checkered pastAnd i'm not going back!
At the Masquerade!You'll be glad you came!They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your faceAt the Masquerade!It's gonna be ok!Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
Come along don't you fear the Masquerade!Step in: Don't be afraidTake your pain and deepest shameAnd let them go a the Masquerade!Grab a mask and cover up your face!Wrap yourself in silk brocade.Just forget the mistakes you madeCause no one cares at the Masquerade!
