Lyrics
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
