lyrics

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
