Masquerade Lyrics - Singles - Basia

I've got a friend who had a schoolboy dream 

He wanted every luxury that money could bring 

He fancied himself as a King of the castle 

Impressing all the ladies with the size of his car 

But none of them would have it 

They left the morning after 

As a giver of love he was a walking disaster 

Who will ever know of this charade 

Unless you tell us who you really are 

How far will you go 

Down a road that's paved with gold but takes away your soul

Come to masquerade 

Keep your heart out of sight 

You can be a winner 

A master of disguise 

Then one night he met a beautiful girl 

She was a viable concern, he couldn't help thinking 

But he ran out of small talk and started to panic 

The comedy was turning into something tragic 

Never mix business with pleasure 

You can play them independently but never together 

Who will ever know of this charade 

Unless you tell us who you really are 

How far will you go 

Down a road that's paved with gold but takes away your soul
