The Masquerade Full Lyrics
[00:11.68] Every day the Masquerade's sending out the call
[00:17.04] Every day the Night Bregade comes crashing through that door
[00:22.58] They said "What are you doing siting all alone just staring at the telephone?
[00:28.84] There's a place we know that you can go and join in the parade"
[00:34.24] And I said "I'm just sitting here licking my wounds
[00:37.89] And I don't think I'll be finished soon
[00:41.49] Where can I find a place to hide from this mess I made?"
[00:45.95] At the masquerade!
[00:49.14] You'll be glad you came!
[00:52.71] They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face
[00:58.13] At the masquerade!
[01:01.06] It's gonna be ok!
[01:05.55] Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
[01:17.56] At last they break through
[01:19.40] They dragged me to this zoo
[01:23.06] "Put your mask on: That's the key"
[01:25.70] Which animal is right for me?
[01:29.39] So I burst through the pearly gates and
[01:32.06] I was alarmed by what awaited
[01:34.78] They greeted me with open arms: Like I was one of them
[01:40.17] And I felt right away they let me in
[01:43.72] Absolved me of my prior sins
[01:46.42] So I shed this wretched skin at last!
[01:50.07] And I became the mask!
[01:51.86] At the masquerade!
[01:54.54] You'll be glad you came!
[01:58.16] They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face
[02:03.51] At the masquerade!
[02:06.26] It's gonna be ok!
[02:10.78] Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
[02:17.06] It's a chance to leave it all behind
[02:23.45] Start again, begin a brand new life
[02:28.83] They were right that I wouldn't hate it
[02:32.44] To think that I hesitated
[02:34.21] I finally checked my checkered past!
[02:37.88] And I'm not going back!
[03:15.54] At the masquerade!
[03:18.39] You'll be glad you came!
[03:21.93] They won't see the holes that in your soul when you cover up your face
[03:27.38] At the masquerade!
[03:30.01] It's gonna be ok!
[03:34.56] Trade your shame for wealth and fame where no one knows your name!
[03:40.85] Come along if you feel the Masquerade!
[03:43.56] Step in: Don't be afraid
[03:46.22] Take your pain and deepened shame
[03:48.95] And let them go a the Masquerade!
[03:52.53] Grab a mask and cover up your face!
[03:55.22] Grab yourself and dont be afraid
[03:57.94] Just forget the mistakes you made
[04:00.60] 'Cause no one cares at the masquerade!
[04:14.40]
