Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen up
[Verse 2]
This scene's so hypnotic, smoke and mirrors, lights and magic
Paper faces in gold
There's soldier boys, beauty queens, everyone's a mystery
It's got me losing control
Yearnin', I'm yearnin' for the one to steal my eyes
Wanna play in this game of disguise
[Verse 3]
It's a masquerade, a love parade
So, won't you stay and dance with me?
All through the night and day, my masquerade
I need you, baby, so stay with me tonight
[Verse 4]
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
[Verse 5]
Just like a perfect dream, I don't ever wanna leave
A thousand freaks in the show
One's a tiger, one's a lynx, one's a king that's suffering
Movin' high, movin' low
Burnin', I'm burnin', can't you see it in my eyes?
Want to play in this game of disguise
[Verse 6]
It's a masquerade, a love parade
So, won't you stay and dance with me?
All through the night and day, my masquerade
I need you, baby, so stay with me tonight
[Verse 7]
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
[Verse 8]
I got to know the girl behind the mask
Let me in, where you've been, don't pretend
Dreamed that I had her alone
Show your face to me, we could be everything
[Verse 9]
It's a masquerade, a love parade
So, won't you stay and dance with me?
All through the night and day, my masquerade
I need you, baby, so stay with me tonight
It's a masquerade, a love parade
So, won't you stay and dance with me?
All through the night and day, my masquerade
I need you, baby, so stay with me tonight
[Verse 10]
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
