The painted faces on the street, caricatures of long ago
Oh they were young and oh so sweet, down beyond the boulevard
Knock on doors and empty halls, and still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)
When you see the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
The reeling figures pass on by, like ghosts in some forgotten play
Beneath the black and empty sky, music plays and figures dance
With partners chosen by chance, and still some times remember
The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)
They reached for tomorrow, but tomorrow's, more of the same
So they reached for tomorrow, but tomorrow never came
When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
One by one and two by two, past eight by tens in shattered frames
The players try to leave the room, frantic puppets on a string
And all the while the music sings, and still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever (the masquerade's forever)
(repeat as desired)
When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
