Lyrics By The Sea - Oz

Masquerade! Paper faces on parade
Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you
Masquerade! Every face a different shade
Masquerade! Look around, there's another mask behind you

Flash of mauve, splash of puce
Fool and king, ghoul and goose
Green and black, queen and priest
Trace of rouge, face of beast, faces!
Take your turn, take a ride
On the merry-go-round in an inhuman race

Eye of grace, eye of blue
True is false, who is who?
Curl of lips, swirl of gown
Ace of hearts, face of clown, faces!
Drink it in, drink it up till you've drowned
In the light, in the sound, but who can name the face?

Masquerade! Grinning yellows, spinning reds
Masquerade! Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you
Masquerade! Burning glances, turning heads
Masquerade! Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you
Masquerade! Seething shadows breathing lies
Masquerade! You can fool any friend who ever knew you
