Paint your face and run around.
Dance in silky satin gowns.
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown,
Oh you think you're safe and sound.
But you know what I found.
Base this lifetime on a lie,
Which you then proceed to hide.
Comes a time I can't deci-hide.
But don't you open up your eyes,
To think it's time that you tried to see...
Your masquerade,
And that's an awful game to play.
It's just a masquerade,
Making you the queen of diamonds honey,
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades.
Paint your face and run around.
Dance in silky satin gowns.
Turn my full length mirror dow-hown,
Oh you think you're safe and sound.
I thought you'd know I'd found...
It's just a masquerade,
And that's an awful game to play.
It's just a masquerade,
Making you the queen of diamonds honey,
On the ace, of spa-ya-ya-yades.
It's just a masquerade.
It's just a masquerade.
It's just a masquerade.
It's just a masquerade.
