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! Masquerade! Leering satyrs, peering eyes...
