Masquerade lyrics

You play the fool, you play the game You play the saint when you're to blame You hide your face with a plastic smile With an honest lie and a swindler's style So here's your invitation Welcome to this masquerade, my friend Everybody knows your name here Painted faces mark this hit parade again Are you here to stay? It chills to touch your serpent skin Just knowing how you love the sin And even though you think you're sly A coat of lamb won't get you by So here's your invitation Ungrateful, unshameful Watching your house of lies crash down on your life He's faithful, so faithful To wash it all away
