Verse 1: 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 … It's 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 … It's 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? I've written my (magnum) opus And the ink's all but run out Chorus: Masquerade … In this city of dreams Masquerade … It's not all what it seems Masquerade … Watch the people go round Masquerade … In this carousel town
