MASQUERADE

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 gown
Ace of hearts
Face of clown
Faces
Drink it in, drink it up,
till you've drowned
in the light
in the sound
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
