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!
