Masquerade

You are the man amongst men,
you are the ruler of this land,
yeah, you tell me what to do,
but I do not know you,
‘cause you wear a mask
and I wear a mask,
and we both choreograph
a dance about money
Oh but and your cash
act like you’re about to make a dash,
if only you could see,
that you’re just like me
See, there’s still a mask so lift it,
‘cause I want to see
something different
Girl it’s been so long
and this doesn’t feel wrong,
but you start talking about us
and I feel ridiculous,
‘cause you wear a mask
and I wear a mask,
and we both choreograph
a dance about love
Though your skins still soft,
and your hair still shines,
and we both still say things
at the same time,
but there’s still a mask so lift it,
‘cause I want to see
what is different
Yet as we dance,
there is a chance
this masquerade
could get insane
Everyone’s face,
they look the same,
oh, but if you step in time
with no partner in sight,
and you don’t tango with strangers
oh, I bet that one’s your type
And after all, you can dance
by yourself, ‘cause
You you’re still afraid
of mistakes you haven’t made,
and while those little stories build,
enough to numb you from the chill,
yeah, you wear a mask
and I wear a mask,
and we both choreograph a dance
around white lies
Yeah, you love so much,
but you’re so out of touch,
how can you make a name,
if you will not change
See there’s still a mask so lift it,
‘cause I want to see myself
There’s still a mask so lift it,
‘cause I want to see
what is different,
there’s still a mask so lift it,
‘cause I want to see
what is different

Résumé

I see your eye across the room,
I’m thrown against the door
Her hand slips right out of mine,
I’m lost in your allure
Everything about you makes me
forget all I know,
I have this girl beside me
but it’s not like me to go
Now I’ve got her,
and I want to know your name
Yeah I got her,
besides, she would do the same
Now I’ve got her,
and I want to know your name
Yeah I got her,
besides, she would do the same
Pick myself up off the floor
this ‘aint the time and place
Rejoin the world around me
trying to look right past your face
I can’t as it get’s closer
‘cause you’re moving right this way
My legs are glued down to the floor
this is my chance to say
I want you,
I gotta have you,
I want you,
I know you feel the same
I want you,
I gotta have you,
I want you,
and I know you feel the same
But I have her,
and I can’t hurt her,
but I have her,
and she don’t deserve this shit

I know that they’re trying to teach me,
but I am unwilling to learn,
maybe it’s just not that easy,
or maybe they should wait their turn
Comin’ up on through
as I’m hittin’ one, two,
oh I love what we can do
when it’s me and you, yeah
Won’t you be so kind
to please ignore the sign
Oh I love what I can find
when it’s on my mind, yeah
We can mold it all like clay
Oh, it’s clear for heaven sake,
oh I love what we can make,
we should start today, yeah
Oh,
Now forget what you’ve been told,
it’ll hit you in your soul,
now won’t you take control, right now
Comin’ up with more
as I’m hittin’ three, four,
oh I love it to the core
so much I can’t ignore
Climb on up the tree,
and look down from here with me
oh I love what we can see,
don’t it all look so empty, yeah
We can cover so much land
if we run as fast we can,
oh I’d love to take a stand,
what I brilliant plan
Oh,
now forget what you’ve been told,
it’ll hit you in your soul,
now won’t you take control, right now

Party (x4)
Part electric giving spark to that fire,
Part erratic they’re just trying their luck
Part elastic ‘cause they don’t got one sound, now
Part eternal ‘cause they’re stickin’ around
Part electric giving spark to that fire,
Part erratic they’re just trying their luck
Part elastic ‘cause they don’t got one sound, now,
Part eternal ‘cause they’re stickin’ around
You’ve got to
see that it’s time to
embrace the love,
why doubt, it’s going to be okay
All of the party is waiting on you...
