Funny clown there's no
Room to frown in this
Phoney town where the
Truth gets drowned
Painted smiles and an
A-list lifestyle but when your
Life is on trial will it all
Seem worthwhile
So, string the lights up, for the show must go on
We'll pay the fare, and turning blind eyes play along
And after all is done the masquerade goes on and on
If you knew
The who is who
You'd see right through plans to
Fill your shoes
Big and red yet
Shaking with dread, oh
Just don't forget it's all
In your head
So, string the lights up, for the show must go on
We'll pay the fare, and turning blind eyes play along
And after all is done the masquerade goes on and on
Say the things you need to say
Knowing you will find your way
A jester to some but to the others
You're the joy within their day
So, string the lights up, for the show must go on
We'll pay the fare, and turning blind eyes play along
And after all is done the masquerade goes on and on
