Masquerade Lyrics - Pleasure Victim - Berlin

The painted faces on the street 

caricatures of long ago 

oh they were young and oh so sweet 

down beyond the boulevard 

knock on doors and empty halls 

and still sometimes remember 

the masquerade's forever 

the masquerade's forever 

When you see the price they paid 

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 

The reeling figures pass on by 

like ghosts in some forgotten play 

beneath the black and empty sky 

music plays and figures dance 

with partners chosen by chance 

and still some times remember 

the masquerade's forever

They reached for tomorrow 

but tomorrow's more of the same 

so they reached for tomorrow 

but tomorrow never came 

When you hear the price they paid 

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 

When you see the price they paid 

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 

One by one and two by two 

past eight by tens in shattered frames 

the players try to leave the room 

frantic puppets on a string 

and all the while the music sings 

and still sometimes remember 

the masquerade's forever 

the masquerade's forever

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 

When you hear the price they paid 

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 

When you hear the price they paid 

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 

When you hear the price they paid 

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 

the masquerade's forever 

When you hear the price they paid 

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade 

the masquerade's forever 

When you hear the price they paid 

I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
