Chorus:
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 gold...
Thigh of blue...
True is false...
Who is who...?
Curl of lip...
Swirl of clown...
Ace of hearts...
Face of clown...
Faces...
Drink it in, drink it up
Til you've drowned
In the light, in the sound
Raoul/Christine:
But who can name the face...?
All:
Grinning yellows
Spinning reds...
Masquerade!
Take your fill-
Let the spectacle astound you!
Masuerade!
Burning glances,
Turning heads...
Masquerade!
Stop and stare
At the sea of smiles
Around you!
Maquerade!
Seething shadows,
breathing lies...
Masquerade!
You can fool any friend
Who ever knew you!
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs,
Peering eyes...
Masquerade!
Run and hide-
But a face will
Still pursue you!
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 anoth mask behind you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances,
Turning heads,
Masquerade!
Stop and stare
at the sea of smiles
Around you!
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows
Spinning reds!
Masquerade!
Take your fill-
Let the spectacle
astound you!
